Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

That final case was all over the place. Not least when the real villain was revealed, and then that person was really revealed. Twists and turns everywhere, which pretty much nobody being quite what I expected. And that’s it! More than 23 hours, making it the longest Phoenix Wright game by around 5 hours. Not bad considering this one is more streamlined than the others. But it’s not over yet! Capcom announced a DLC extra chapter this week, and that’s due …

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (360): COMPLETED!

  / / / Leave a comment

Urgh. I really didn’t enjoy that. And, without spoiling it for anyone else, I can’t really explain why. I didn’t get used to the two-person, two-sticks controls. The camera caused a few issues (in the snowy area, specifically, and on the final “boss”), and it was far too easy. But they are not the reasons I didn’t like it. No, it was the story. The last bit of the story. Far too grim for me, especially the bit you do …

Bastion (360): COMPLETED!

  / / / Leave a comment

A beautiful game. Gorgeous to look at. Fantastic music. Fun to play. Somewhat short, and incredibly easy (I didn’t die at all, ever), but really, really good. After a few levels, I’d settled on the Fang Repeater and Machete as my weapon paring of choice. I set my special attack as the spinning shield thing, but frankly, I never needed it. Of course, I’d pick up other weapons along the way, but until I found the Calamity Cannon I swapped …

Rayman Legends (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

By “completed”, I of course mean, I’ve got to the end credits. See. I don’t have all 700 teensies, or a million lums, or have done all the Origin levels (I haven’t even unlocked most of them) or opened Living Dead Party, but I’ve completed the story. I played about 60% of the game in co-op with my daughter, which was fun. She generally took on the role of Murfy for those levels where he’s a part, and she did …

Need for Speed: Most Wanted U (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

I am Most Wanted! As the saucy minx on the game purred to tell me. I beat the Konigseggsegssgg and took it down to claim it as my own, and that was it – fourteen hours of credits, followed by being dumped back in the game to play some more, only in an invisible car. And play some more I did. Firstly, to find all of the remaining jack spots (I had about 15 remaining – only one was difficult …

Skylanders (360): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Look! Look at that thing in the post title! And the tag list! LOOOOOK!! It says “completed”!! That’s right. About 18 months after starting the game, my daughter and I finally completed it today. We’d been just a couple of levels off the end for months and months, but every time we got a new Skylander we played some earlier levels to level it up a bit and get money to buy upgrades. Today, we went for one final push and …

Pikmin 3 (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

15 hours, apparently. Which equated to 39 in-game days. That’s how long it took me to find the Cosmic Drive key, best the final boss, and escape from Certainly Not Earth and head home with all the fruit juice and seeds I could carry. Well, most of the fruit juice and seeds. 43 of the 66 fruits available, in fact. And rather a lot of carrotmen died for the cause. Er, about 700, all in. Which sounds horrific, but you …

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

I am not a big fan of the Donkey Kong Country series of games. I didn’t like the SNES ones, I didn’t like the Game Boy ones, and although Donkey Kong 64 started well, the collecting killed it for me. As a result, I didn’t even have a slight interest in the Wii game “Donkey Kong Country Returns”, of which this is a 3D “remix”. So why then did I play it? Firstly, curiosity. Secondly, it was free. And thirdly? …

Thomas Was Alone (PS3): COMPLETED!

  / / 1 comment

Here’s something unusual – a PS3 game. A completed PS3 game at that. Haven’t had that in months! Thomas Was Alone was something I did want to play. I thought about getting it on Steam, but then I remembered – I don’t play PC games – so waited until a console release. Sadly, it only hit the PS3 (and Vita, I think), rather than any console I actually use, so I left it. Until I realised I had just over …

New Super Luigi U (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Well, that was easier than I expected. I thought some of the later levels would be hard as nails, but due to being pretty short, they weren’t. Even Bowser wasn’t too difficult, despite the lack of restart points (meaning if you die on the boss, you have to restart the level completely!), taking only two attempts. Disappointingly, he was the same boss as with Mario, although his attack pattern was slightly different. With him defeated, I set about completing some …

Toki Tori 2 (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Aw! Lookit all the pweety birdies! I saved them all! After getting stuck on just about every puzzle in the game, but managing to solve them all just before Miiverse stepped in to help, I finally reached the final special frog and “captured” it, sending it to the room with the giant evil heart, and the game was won! Now, I expect there’s something to be gained by collecting all the little symbol things strewn across the map, dumping them …

Super Mario World (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Look at all the little eggies! Look at them! I rescued them all! Woooo! Oh yeah, and the princess. It was certainly harder than I remember, and I’ve only done the main route through the game with very few secret levels – 53 exits in total. The final boss, and the level leading up to him, was far, far easier though. Odd. Now, I realise that to many this is evil heathenry, but I have to say – SMW is …

Kirby’s Adventure (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

In those infrequent times recently, when I’ve not wanted to play Monster Hunter and my wife has stolen Animal Crossing, I’ve been skipping merrily through Kirby’s Aventure. Yes, again. Having already completed various incarnations of it on this Diary over the last 7 or 8 years, I was surprised to find it surprisingly hard this time. Well, not hard. Harder. A bit. This evening I polished off the last of world 6, finished world 7, and beat the boss(es). Lovely!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

It seems like years ago when I last completed a game. I blame the crippling twin time vortexes of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, because escape from them is almost impossible. But, here and there, I’ve worked through the final chapter of the story – playing as Simon. His section actually fits before Trevor and Alucard (which run pretty much concurrently), and although I’d spotted where it was going well before it got there, the reveal …

Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Story done! It is substantially smaller than the Wii U version, as I completed the story (without much in the way of wandering round) with just over 7 hours on the clock. There’s clearly a lot left to do, but I’m expecting around 25 hours to 100% it. It’s a great game. It really is. The only reason it isn’t fantastic is that the Wii U version exists. Still, lots of fun and I’m going for the 100%. Just a …
