Wow! I haven't posted in eleven weeks apparently, according to the great LiveJournal. Since it's been so long, I thought I'd better to the obligatory 'not dead' post, so I thought I'd write about a game I completed just before things kicked off for my literature review. That game was Overlord II which is, curiously, the sequel to the 2007 game ( Read more... )

The other day, I was looking through Steam and came across a game called 'Light of Altair', of which a free demo was available. I downloaded and played it. Unfortunately, this game me a bit of a thirst for space management games, like the Spore space stage.

On the cards this month, 'Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise'. This game was originally released for the XBOX 360. I remember this because it's one of the painfully short list ( Read more... )

In a pathetic attempt to get past the insanity I feel slowly consuming me I'm going to do as I promised a few posts ago and review 'The Force Unleashed', the latest in a long line of games attempting to capture the Star Wars magic in video game form. I'm reviewing the Wii version because that's the one I've got but it's been released on every ( Read more... )

The game see you at first taking control of a simple creature in the primordial oceans of a planet which, using the inbuilt creator, you ( Read more... )

I've just finished playing through the story of Okami and it's a game I've been meaning to review so I'm going to (surprise, surprise) review it ( Read more... )

Today has been one hell of an unproductive day. The only way it can be a little productive now is if jedda can print some of an article that I need to read. Oh well, I'm going to further reduced the day's productivity by writing another review. Enjoy ( Read more... )
