Nintendo finally nailed it this year after a string of disappointing E3s. The 3DS would be exciting even without the 3D stuff, they're making possibly the cutest Kirby game yet (with elements of a favorite franchise of mine, Paper Mario) and although it's not really them making it, that Epic Mickey looks sweet. Sony's show was perhaps a bit longer than needed. They have a habit of padding every...
So Nintendo had themselves a little party this week. You may have seen something about it. Unfortunately, people weren't entirely positive about the whole thing, especially the new DSi console. Here's my opinions on what went down: Nintendo DSi Man, I have no idea what to think of this. Let's look at the pros and the cons. The pros: noticably bigger screens, slimmer design, improved audio quali...
In a few hours I'll be jetting away to the west coast of America. The first stop is Las Vegas, where I will not be gambling on account of my age. Still, from there I fly to Los Angeles, specifically Disneyland. I'll also be visiting Universal Hollywood and meeting up with a former tutor from college. Plus, I'll be visiting the I Am 8-bit exhibition for the first time, and I'm looking forward to...

My favorite new mode is probably Pacifism at the moment, but all the modes are so damn good. The achievements are fun to get too. What I really love about Geo Wars 2 is how tightly the lead...
Holy shit.
So, I played through Loom yesterday. That right there is a prime example of why you shouldn't set up your game as the first in a trilogy without making sure you'll be able to finish it. The game was short, easy (there's no items to pick up, so everything involves playing music with your stick-thing) and had an ending that didn't exactly resolve everything. It felt like the developers were relyi...
Yes, third day . I'm going against the flow here. Arriving fashionably late you could say. Or I just couldn't think of anything worth writing on Monday or Tuesday. So, Giant Bomb. Awesome. I've spent a bit of time editing the WarioWare and Rhythm Tengoku pages, being some of my favourite franchises and all. I might go in and edit the Ouendan and Wario Land pages too. I decided to play Loom in S...
