Great Expectations

Posted on August 10, 2009 by baudattitude

I quite like Magic Knight Rayearth – the first TV series, that is; I haven’t seen the sequel or the OVA remake.  It’s got a hella catchy OP song, CLAMP art, Mokona, and one of the biggest I-Did-Not-See-That-Coming plot twists … Continue reading →

QTEs Unleashed

Posted on August 8, 2009 by baudattitude

I finished The Force Unleashed this morning, at about 3AM, with my wife cheering me on, and I have to say that it had a pretty neat story – if it’s canon, anyway, and I’m given to understand that the … Continue reading →

An afternoon with Lupin.

Posted on August 6, 2009 by baudattitude

After playing through a couple of rather dark PC games, I was going to give the Saturn action RPG “Magic Knight Rayearth” a try.  I own the thing twice over, after all – I bought the domestic version when it … Continue reading →

Posted on August 5, 2009 by baudattitude

After finishing Project: Snowblind, I found myself reflecting on the title, which is just one step above “FPS” printed in bold black letters on a white box. There’s an awful lot of PC FPS games with titles consisting of “Name: … Continue reading →

A study in contrasts:

Posted on August 3, 2009 by baudattitude

I finished up a pair of games over the last few days, which would feel like more of an accomplishment if I didn’t have over 500 games left in my “play this someday” stack. I don’t mean to imply that … Continue reading →

Full on scary backlog numbers:

Posted on July 19, 2009 by baudattitude

I found a most excellent site that allowed me to enter and track my games backlog. You can see the results here. I need to tweak these a bit, because there are some games in it that aren’t mine, or … Continue reading →

More Oneechanbara Goodness

Posted on July 17, 2009 by baudattitude

I have now finished two, count them, two whole games on the Wii.  That brings my average up to just under 1 per year.  I should play through another one before next April. Anyway. After Klonoa, which was a nice … Continue reading →

PCE on PSP? Sony, I owe you an apology.

Posted on July 15, 2009 by baudattitude

I enjoy me a good bit of Sony bashing as much as the next guy, perhaps more. Perhaps a lot more. That said, their recent attempt to catch up in the downloadable retro game biz wins points with me simply … Continue reading →

Witching at last

Posted on July 15, 2009 by baudattitude

I bought “The Witcher” back in December of 2007, paying extra for the UK edition because it wasn’t censored like the US release, then promptly failed to get around to playing it. Part of that is because it brought my … Continue reading →

Some random thoughts

Posted on July 10, 2009 by baudattitude

One of the things that got chucked in the recycle bin during the latest move was a run of 2600 magazine from roughly 1988 to 1993.  Hey, I was a geek and a teenager, I think I can be forgiven … Continue reading →
