Trine (PC)

Jan 21st, 2010 | By leimrod | Category: Games

So decided to take a break from Fallout 3 and training in Street Fighter IV and give this little gem a go. It’s been sitting on the back burner for a while so I thought I might as well give it a go (along with Mini Ninjas which I will be playing next)
I decided to [...]



MAG Open Beta: Initial Impressions

Jan 8th, 2010 | By leimrod | Category: Games

After a rather odd download and install sequence of this Beta demo (required a ~40MB PS Store download, then an install, then another ~40MB download when the game launched, then another install, then a last ~1800MB download with a final install) I got into the game for the first time and… the servers where down.

Little Big Planet

I don’t know what it was about this game when it was released that made me feel so nonchalant about playing it, it just felt like it was trying too hard to be unique and cuddly. At the time I gave it a miss, and put it way down on my list of games I [...]



Movies to Games can work: Wolverine

May 7th, 2009 | By leimrod | Category: Games

Not really a review as such, more a mark of surprise. After finishing Killzone 2, I installed Fallout 3, resolved to get around to it (just can’t bring myself to play it for some reason, probably because I already know how much time I’ll need to plough into it) and also decided to polish up my Akuma combos in Street Fighter IV. I like to always have a backup game installed on the HTPC, just for something different. It will usually be games I’d consider mediocre or not receiving a lot of media attention so that I can see if they are diamonds in the rough. These games will usually be movie-to-game conversions.
