Firefox updating to 8.0 has broken Deepest Sender again. Well, not "broken", but more of disabling until DS gets updated to work on the new major version number. I don't know why this requirement is in place, other than a sideways attempt to make sure that addons are being actively updated ( Read more... )

Following on from here, here's an updated list:

1. Final Fantasy XIII

2. inFamous

3. Valkyria Chronicles

4. Atelier Rorona

Yes, apparently I just need one more. Or maybe two more; I hear that Valkyria Chronicles 2 is on the PSP, which I already have, and if the story doesn't require knowledge of the first one and the gameplay is better, I'll ( Read more... )

One of my self-imposed rules was that if I wanted to get a gaming console (TV or handheld), I had to have a library of games available for it.

Now, I've been wondering if I should be getting a PS3. With it, I have come up with a completely arbitrary number of five games that I absolutely must have before I actually get the console. The problem is ( Read more... )

- The eerie setting is quickly undermined by getting lost. My pulse rifle for a minimap.

- The flickering of the HUD that preludes some supernatural stuff feels like the incessant phone calls of your stalker-ish ex. The game is supposed to evoke a sense of "oh no" without the addendum of "not again- I never knew how much of my survival in the ( Read more... )

Spent several hours trying to get through That Tunnel Mission from Ace Combat 5, and am pleased to announce that I've finally done it. Also, I am never playing that mission ever again.

( An explanation for those curious. )

Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat Zero would have been far, far more enjoyable if they didn't feature missions where your top-of-the-line fighter jet has to inexplicably fly through tunnelsAnd not just any tunnels, but long, winding tunnels, full of treacherous twists and obstacles placed for no reason other than to trap morons who fly planes below ( Read more... )

The Longest Journey is a long game.

In terms of content, it's actually not that long. What lengthens the game, possibly by putting it on the rack, is the really slow movement of characters. The main character, April Ryan, can go at about a trot when told to run, but doesn't bother in the in-game cutscenes, joining every other character in the game ( Read more... )

A major problem I have with those "press X to not die" timed events in video games is that it conflicts with my usual more laid-back "watch the pretty plot unfold" gameplay style.

A more direct problem I have is that if the game tells me to press X, I have to look down to find the X button before I can press it. This may seem like something that ( Read more... )

I'm a bit sad that Left 4 Dead (I don't like the number in the name any more than you do) has turned into just another mow-them-down squad shooter among my friends rather than something with story. I'm probably the entirely wrong demographic for the game anyway ( Read more... )

Please to be explaining this crap.
