  1. Day 12 - Favourite Awful Game

    Can a game be awful if you enjoy it yourself?
    For me, it’s probably the grind fest Tank!Tank!Tank! So good, they named it thrice.
    It’s mindless, impossible to dodge some enemy attacks, especially incoming rockets, but the time spent with my son was priceless. There’s also a tank that shoots pizza projectiles, as the announcer yells, Dinner Time!

  2. Day 9 - Scary Moment

    Not too many I can put my finger on, but the beginning village of Resident Evil 4 threw so many villagers at you, at an unrelenting pace, that made you feel totally overwhelmed, and that chainsaw chugging away just behind you as you start to climb a ladder, gives you a sense of heightened anxiety at the least.ef9e1e6940d04ace24830bc5f7b19923.jpg

  3. Limited Run Games just held their LRG3 Presentation, and there's a lot of news from them regarding physical versions of current eShop titles.  I've summed up all the presentation and other recent news here;

  4. Day 8 - Best Musical Moment

    So, so many to choose from, and thinking through most, they were all serious pieces, so I’ve decided to choose a tongue-in-cheek answer for this one.

    Playing Rhythm Heaven on the DS, I smiled at many stages, but none so much as The Chorus Kids.

    All together now, ahhhh!

    I really hope this trio can make it into Smash, too.

  5. Day 7 - Favourite Ranged Combat

    A lot of thought went into this. Turok 2 had an insane arsenal of weapons, Cerebral Bore. Goldeneye transformed the FPS genre. But it was the feeling of the sniper rifle in Perfect Dark, the zoom was like nothing I’d seen before, and pixel perfect shooting to boot. Some of the other weapons were great, too, but the sniper rifle made the game for me.

  7. Apparently the development of BotW2 could be finished very soon, as least according to this Spanish site:
    https://www.gamereactor.es/el-doblaje-espanol-de-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-2-ya-esta-hecho/
    They claim so since the Spanish voice actors of Revali and Zelda have supposedly finished their synchronization work.

    Turns out it was a mistranslation. They said that Nintendo’s secretive NDA’s even forbid them saying if they had returned for recording for the sequel. Found out after Gamexplain did some digging.

  8. 1 minute ago, will' said:

    Sorry, I think we managed to post at exactly the same time, you’re right too.

    I still think it will be a Mercedes 1-2, but will be interesting to see how it develops.

    @londragon - do you have to suffer Fox Sports coverage too?

    I use somewhat iffy means to get Sky coverage.


  9. Hamilton has had a 3 place grid drop after Red Bull appealed against his fastest lap being done under yellow flags after new evidence surfaced showing a yellow light flashing on his on board camera. Right call in that case, it certainly boosts Max's chance at snatching the win here.

    That’s a bit harsh. Sure in the past they just deleted the lap time and used the other one??

  10. Day 3 - Local Multiplayer

    This was a close call between 4 games, and any one of them could have taken it.

    1. Goldeneye - 4-Player madness during my Uni years.
    2. Street Fighter 2 - SNES fighting at its best, with my two younger brothers.
    3. Super Mario Kart - once again started with my brothers, but this bled over into my Uni years, too.

    But, the winner is ...  Sensible Soccer (Commodore Amiga).  This was played pretty much everyday, with a close friend of mine from back home, and sometimes during lunch break and a quick run down to my house.  So good, it made it onto a first class stamp.
