[rating:2] As a break from GTA, I’ve installed Terraria on the PS3. I’m working my way through the tutorial, I can see this taking up a big chunk of my gaming time. Off to see if I can play it on Android 🙂 Edit: Apparently you can!

[rating:4] As a big fan of Rockstar I am getting excited with the new screen shots of GTA V, and thought I’d visit Liberty City again to reminisce. I picked up a US xbox 360, before the PAL machines were affordable, so I journeyed through NiKo’s story on a NTSC version of the game. That box red ringed a long time ago, and I didn’t want to buy another copy…

I finally have a PC that I can play MMOs on. Eve wasn’t for me, I’ve loved each Final Fantasy game I’ve played more than the last… let’s just hope the price is right. gameplanet.co.nz Final-Fantasy XIV to launch in summer
I was having a trip down memory lane, listening to some old songs that occupied the airwaves, when I was back at school. After a bit of S’Express and Technotronic, I came across this timeless classic by the JAMS aka KLF Then that reminded me of the book they wrote: The Manual: (how to Have a Number One the Easy Way) This unparalleled expose of the pop-music scene is the…

After finally completing Bioshock Infinite (wow the plot explanation of the ending!), I’ve been spoiled for choice, here’s an update of new games (for me) I’ve been playing, all on the PS3. Injustice: Gods Among Us [rating:3] Nice Mortal komat based engine, with DC heros and villans. Love the balance between simple and advanced… easy to exeute the moves, a challenge to string a combo together. Best story in a…

The fight is ok, Ali played Forman big time, would have loved to have heard what Ali was whispering in his ear 🙂 There’s an amazing interview with Ali after the Foreman fight, worth watching.

… that’s why the authoritative body is named FIFA [Fédération Internationale de Football Association] I haven’t played a footy game in years, think Konami‘s PES 4 was the last one that held my attention, mainly due to the league we had at lunchtime on an XBOX 🙂 Green Street Hooligans, was recommenced to me a while ago. A cool story of the two big London Firms, West Ham and Millwall,…

Genius, no more deep cuts for me when trying to open new toys, knew I’d heard of some safe method 🙂

For years I’ve had a grudge against gillette, I resent: paying extraordinary princely sums for disposable razor blades! the reinvention of the razor every year or so with additional blades (front and back), plus the necessity for batteries! a really cool strip of aloe vera, that is washed / rubbed away before the end of the first shave I have tried several different options over the years to try and…

[rating:4] It does what it says on the tin 🙂 Wanna fantasise about taking down a local level 7 portal? This wonderful page, allows you to quantify the dream and help make it a reality. Plug in the resonator stats of a given portal, either individually, or using pre configured options, which are based on level maximums, or max levels across all resonators. i.e. 1 player level 6, all resos…

I’m shocked, you hear stories, how a steam console could be linux based. An then the day arrives when I can install Steam on Ubuntu. This is a game changer, lets hope the AMD graphic card support gets better

[rating:3] I have early memories of dropping 10p bits, the size of wagon wheels into old arcade machines as a child. before the days of Outrun or Afterburner, this was the dogs bollocks… although back then I doubt I knew what bollocks were & I’m sure I wasn’t au fe with The Sex Pistols. So today I found a PS3 remake of this nostalgic beauty. I doubted it would hold…

[rating:3] I know I hadn’t always found R-Type as difficult as the Delta experience, & today I came across the predecessors R-Types (both 1 and 2!) So you can load in heaps of credits & then start the game, I like the arcade touch. The first thing that hit me was the siren noise, swear I’ve heard exactly the same on several phones at work 🙂 The game isn’t simple,…

Memory fading? I read a cool blog entry by Gerard Campbell: Game Junkie this week: Are games harder or is it just me? The focus of it being that he had to downscale the difficulty from normal to easy to complete the latest Bioshock instalment. I tried to procure a copy of the said game today, with no luck; I came back with another sniper shooter… but that’s a different…

Here’s the Guradian‘s yearly April fool. There have been some classic ones over the years, think the imagination has run a little dry? Or is it that people now look for them, that they seem obvious?
[rating:3.5] The title that’s taking up the bulk of my play time this weekend is quite a novelty, Solar 2. I’d never heard of the prequel, and only stumbled across this game by accident. I wish I had it last week for beach time. This game is based on physics, first you begin as a lump of rock floating in space, an asteroid. By slamming into surrounding rocks your rock…
