Hi-dee-ho!
No thanks to the 150 or so spam messages in my inbox, here I am, online at last. Apparently I pissed someone off enough for them to want to sign my e-mail address up to 100+ newsletters. I’m guessing they didn’t count on the fact that in 3 clicks, I could run a [...]

Karl mentioned to me that Transport Tycoon Deluxe was available to download on Abandonia, so I hooked myself up with the download and expanded it with the free, open source OpenTTD (a fantastic project).
Transport Tycoon is one of those games that I’ve heard a lot about but never actually played before. However, given my love [...]

I bought Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the Nintendo DS on Friday and while it’s quite cute, I’m stuck already. I’m on episode I, part 4 and just seem to be going round and round in circles. I would google for the solution, but I hate “giving up” when the game has barely started [...]

After the hours Karl and I spent cracking our ribs laughing at the various hilarious scenes in Raving Rabbids for the Wii — the game that got Karl playing with a console for the first time in years — I decided to invest in Raving Rabbids 2. I have to say that it was a [...]

I originally heard of the The Simpsons Game through Mitu’s entry on the subject and, being the fan that I am, immediately stuck the Nintendo DS version on pre-order via GAME. I was actually surprised at my own level of anticipation, as the previous entries in the market featuring the lovable family that I’ve played [...]

Wii Sports should come with a serious health warning. I was doing the boxing for just 15-20 minutes on Saturday and I’ve been crippled with shoulder/back pains since. I couldn’t sleep this morning because every time I tried to get comfortable I’d set the pain off again.
In other Wii news, I’ve bought Wii Play just [...]

Who wants to come and play with my new Wiiiiiiii? YES I finally got one.
I was playing on my GameCube (notice a Nintendo theme?) last night and casually told Karl to have a quick look on will-consoles.co.uk to see if it had spotted any in stock (not including the bundles, which I didn’t [...]

I have to admit, I didn’t play the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but was struck by how cute the Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (Nintendo DS) packaging was while I was looking for a Wii online. We all know how much cuteness means to a game, right? Anyway…
The storyline [...]

After discussing RollerCoaster Tycoon earlier this month I went ahead and added a page for both 1 and 2, both with little tidbits on, as well as links to the demos for those of you who’ve never played before. I even bought a new copy of RCT2, which I’d forgotten to mention. It comes with [...]

I had forgotten how ace RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 is. There is only one thing better than creating a new rollercoaster that is an immediate success in terms of excitement — creating a new rollercoaster that brings in large quantities of cash and has that key ‘passing point’ where two trains look like they’re going to [...]
