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? :D Anyway… The… read full entry »

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… read full entry »

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… read full entry »

I am sure if most of you took a guess at what I’d been doing for the past 5 days since I last blogged you’d probably say something like “spending Christmas with your family!” Of course, it’d be a huge lie; I’ve actually been playing Animal Crossing non-stop for about a week. After doing the… read full entry »

I’ve got into AC:WW again, after rebuilding my town. If you’ve got the game and have wi-fi capabilities, send me an e-mail with your friend code, name and town name to jem@jemjabella.co.uk. :)

My brother called me up at about 9:30pm Thursday evening to tell me he was in Tesco (local supermarket) and that he was queuing for a Wii. He was about 8th in line, they had 20 consoles to sell and he was offering to save me a place… …WHY, GOD, DID I SAY NO?! I’ve… read full entry »

I pre-ordered the new Harvest Moon for Nindento DS (at the same time as the new Harvest Moon for the GameCube) months and months ago. I got an e-mail last week telling me that the DS part of the order was delayed. I have just logged in to find out the details and spotted the… read full entry »

I pre-ordered Age of Empires: The Age of Kings for the Nintendo DS a while ago, figuring that I’d need something to keep me occupied while waiting for my phone line and Internet to be connected. Age of Empires is an historically accurate real-time strategy game in which players must build up a large civilisation… read full entry »

I first came across Harvest Moon: AWL at my almost-Sister-in-Law’s — she was tending to one sick cow and complaining that her other had stopped producing milk. A few moments later and she was chopping grass and picking weird fungus from the ground while I watched, rather unexcited from what I’d seen so far. How… read full entry »

I bought Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for the Gamecube. It is incredibly like that TV program from years ago where the guy and his missus give up their jobs to do things the old-fashioned way.. growing their own food etc. I’m sure it’s called something similar too. It’s funny actually, in a not funny… read full entry »
