Mags NaJoPoMo 2014 Day 1
Posted Nov 1, 2014
Well, Halloween was bit of a let down. I forgot to buy pumpkins earlier in the week and therefore couldn't find any when I was looking. 
and we only had two little visitors trick or treating. At least we have plenty of chocolate to munch on. We didn't have any scary films to watch either so I played a game, natch.
The game in question was Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, I've only completed the first case, about a whaler who was hoist on his own his own harpoon. It has some rather annoying little mini-games like matching up a pipe and tobacco leaf with a ship and arm-wrestling, but it's looking good so far.

Hungry like the wolf
Posted Feb 6, 2014
I've been waiting four months, I was getting very excited. I bought the season pass. Episode 2 of the DLC-only game Wolf Among Us was *so* close.
and then...
...Micro$oft whipped the towel out from underneath our very feet.
There's a slight problem.
The Second episode came out yesterday, however, everyone who bought the Season Pass could not actually get the episode unless they paid for it (again).
Yes, they're working on getting a 'fix' out for it, but - how utterly, utterly disappointing. I'd even left finishing the first chapter until yesterday, just so I could remember how to actually play the game again.
Hopefully by Friday (apparently)

Rising up, back on the street...

Well, after the complete and utter disappointment of The Smurfs 2, it's a complete and utter *joy* to be back in Rayman country.
Collecting Lums, freeing Teensies, becoming ducks, Rayman Legends is the *best* mulitplayer fun you'll ever have - even if one of the players does start running before you're ready on a chase level
It's also *huge*. There are the actual 'Legends' levels as well as re-imaginings of the previous games' 'Origins' levels. There are Princesses to save, creatures to collect, daily and weekly online challenges, a really funny football game and loads of different costumes for you to collect.
If you've never heard 'Eye of the Tiger' played on kazoo, you've never lived 
I may be some time.

NaJoPoMo Extra Mags - You can't touch this
Posted Dec 3, 2013
Seriously, anything I said about the Smurfs 2 game that might have been vaguely complimentary was completely wrong. Sticking pin your eyes and burning matches under your toe nails would be preferable. The game has no redeeming features whatsoever. Apparently there's a story to it, but we just skipped that bit because it was not at all interesting. All barring one level was left to right. The bosses all fought in similar ways and the Smurfs all said the same things over and over again. Even when you got the last Smurf back there was no 'celebration'.
I've played a *lot* of naff games over the years. This has to be the worst one. Ever.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Even Fight Night 3 was more fun.
