Stranglehold: Well, that sucked.

Posted on February 27, 2008 by baudattitude

I’m not going to claim outright that Hard Boiled is the best action movie of all time. There are an awful lot of movies I’ve never seen, after all, so that would be unfair. I think it’s likely, though, that … Continue reading →

Super Real Mahjong P7

Posted on February 25, 2008 by baudattitude

Posted on February 5, 2008 by baudattitude

Backlog: The Progressing.

Posted on January 27, 2008 by baudattitude

3 months ago – October 26, to be precise, I made up a list of 45 games to put at the top of the backlog.  Everything else went into plain white storage boxes so I could concentrate on titles that … Continue reading →

Posted on January 25, 2008 by baudattitude

So, I’ve gone back to the Xbox 360’s launch library for my next game, Kameo. This was a game I was really looking forward to when it was announced as a Gamecube title – I even had a Kameo wallpaper … Continue reading →
