My other, more personal blog.. →
So, after a hell of a lot of neglect and nothing of interest there, I am finally resurrecting my proper blog. My circumstances have changed drastically, I’ve emigrated again and more importantly my creative fires have been reignited.
I’m probably going to spend more time on that from now on, because of this, and also because my gaming is limited to handhelds. I won’t neglect...
Review: Tecmo World Cup '90 (Arcade)
Tecmo World Cup ‘90 happens to be the first football game I ever played, and is far from the polished titles you see today. When I was football-crazy little six year-old back in 1989, Tecmo released this offering as a cash-in to the next summer’s World Cup. It was in direct competition to US Gold’s officially-licensed World Cup Italia ‘90 game, and couldn’t have...

hixichu asked: ah man, sounds like you've had a really rough time lately.. I'm glad that you stay positive though! Takes a real character to be so when things aren't all peachy. Ooh, job offer ! Good luck with it! What kind of job? :D woop, scandinavia ftw, even though right now we have nothing that resembles a summer. FFFFbad weather. You need to go to Norway and Sweden as well! Denmark is cool...
hixichu asked: Hey! I see your /ask is enabled now :b sweet. How are you?
DS Mania begins in T-minus 5....
Right guys and girls, I’m at a horrible place in my gaming career - limited to handheld consoles. Probably my own fault for moving around so much and not getting myself settled somewhere nice and suburban.
Anyway, I have access to a DS and PSP, and because I can’t really see anything I’m urgently wanting to play on the PSP and my DS is relatively new, I want you lot to suggest...
A Thousand Humble Apologies...
Again guys, I am really sorry for the lack of anything other than a few reblogs recently. I do have plans to write lots of various pieces for this, but my personal circumstances are a royal pain in the backside right now and I need to get them all in order.
I promise that once they are in order, you’ll be treated to a virtual feast as a sign of my humble gratitude. Take it easy all, and...

Review...
Ok, so my review is taking a little longer than anticipated, for a few reasons:
1) I’m a perfectionist,
2) It’s a busy weekend of sport, culminating in England v Germany,
3) My girls are very poorly.
I promise I’ll get on it soon though!
Old School...
So, I’m currently having a good old arcade game mash-up, revisiting my past with a few new additions.
Any suggestions? Any fond memories of particular games of a bygone era?
I’m probably going to write something substantial about it soon, so would love to hear any input I could use, recommendations of games to sample etc.
Get replying! (please!)
An Apology..
Well guys, this is just a quickie to say sorry about the distinct lack of anything the last few days or so. Been rather busy trying to find a job to pay the bills, and having no luck is frustrating.
However, I’ll try and get back on the wagon ASAP. In other news, I just completed my first game in aaaages… Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder. Classic arcade action!!!
A Funny But Also Tragic Anecdote.
Apparently, as of right now, 5.9% of visitors to my humble page are Polish.
I used to live in Poland, you know. For two and a half years. And in all that time, I bought one game. Final Fantasy XII. Because I couldn’t bloody understand the crazy language enough to buy Polish games! So many rules!
Anyway, just wanted to share that with you. To all you Poles, witam, i dziękuję za odwiedziny!
Day 5: Grass-Type
Grass-types probably don’t eat grass, nor are made of grass. They probably just like to roll around in it. Just to clear that up.
Anyway, my choice is…. Treecko! Because Treecko is basically a gecko.
And geckos are awesome. Mini dragons and stuff.
Cheers!
Muchos gracias, foapple!
Go check it out guys and girls, all nine of you! There’s Mario Kart RCs over there… :D
Day 4: Electric-Type
I like Electric-types. I always have one in my team. I almost went for Pikachu, but just had to go for…. Jolteon!
Isn’t he cu….. zzzzzzzap!
Day 3: Water-Type
Apologies for not keeping up, been a busy couple of days job hunting.
My choice for Water-Type is…. Magikarp!
How can you not love a fish that becomes a bad-ass dragon/serpent?
The Last Guardian | GameTrailers.com →
Wow.
TWISTED METAL!!!!!!
OMG. They’re showing a promo for Twisted Metal, exclusively on PS3! Same team members as the originals developing… This is fucking awesome.
Gran Turismo 5
Oh. My. Gods.
One word to describe how this looks: SEXUAL.
Forget Forza or PGR, they’re pretenders - GT is the daddy and always will be. This shit looks photo-real.
November 2, 2010. I cannot wait.
FINAL FANTASY XIV!!
A video… WOWOWOWOWOW.
I want a mage hat! I want a moogle! I WANT THIS GAME AND I WON’T HAVE TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP FOR IT!
Fuck. Yeah.
Portal 2...
Wow, this does seem to be a coup. Portal 2 is going to be on PS3. The guy is ‘confident that Portal 2 on PS3 will be the best version on any console’.
Again, it’s a FPS and they’re my kryptonite. But it looks amazing, and I must admit, I love the concept.
Major coup.
Little Big Planet 2
WOW. They’ve just showed that unlike LBP1, you can make ANY genre of game.
Examples were racers, fighting, RTS, shooter… Cracking!!
PlayStation Home
They’ve just announced that anyone on PlayStation Home can access a E3 mock-up walkabout, watch videos and interact.
Why have I never used this so far? After the football, I’m there.
PSP summary..
They’ve announced another God of War on PSP! Entitled ‘Ghost of Sparta’, they just displayed a FMV, looks awesome!
Obviously, we all know about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
Others include a Dragonball Z fighter, Madden 11, a tennis game that looks like Smash Court pre-realism, a Tetris reboot, Kingdom Hearts, one called The 3rd Birthday, and a Ys game… I like that...
PlayStation Move prices..
PlayStation Eye, Controller and game for less than a hundred US dollars.
Controller for $50.
I really hope that converts as is to pounds.
Cannot be arsed to deal with being fucked in the arse because of the British Pound.
PlayStation Move summary - E3
Sorcery - a really fun concept for PlayStation Move.. You play a young wizard. No, not Harry Potter. A flick the wrist sends a spell hurtling forward! I like the look of this.
Tiger Woods - much more responsive it seems than the Wii alternative. About 30ms delay, almost 1-1 correlation. I very like.
Ratchet, Jak, Sly Cooper, Clank, Bentley, Daxter… all in the same Move game. A cracking...
PS3 - 3D
Gran Turismo 5 announced in 3D!
MORTAL KOMBAT in 3D?!
AND THEN THE FEED DIES just as they show off another video.. GRRR!
I am so glad I am a PS3 owner though. Just need to save up for a 3Dtv….
Killzone 3.
No doubt this is going to be a killer IP… Not that I play FPS games.
Looks ridiculously impressive.
Jetpack!! Always awesome.
Day 1: Normal-Type
I hate normal type, they’re so boring… So I went for Stantler.
He can use psychic moves and headbutts things.
Day 2: Fire-Type
So I missed day one, I’ll post that in a moment, but here’s to get day two out of the way…
Torchic….
… because it becomes badass Fire-Fighter Blaziken…
