Something for the Weekend: 15th Feb

Mostly made up of a torrent toss for the WII and they wonder why the attachment rate is so low. May as well get used to it as I don't see this changing for a while.


Battalion Wars 2, WII - Apparently a spin off from Advance Wars on the DS. Lot's of fluffy looking characters blowing the crap out of each other.
Betty Boop's Double Shift, DS - Help this 20s hooker run a dinner, wooooooo peeeeey dooooooo ba ba be da do.
City Life 2008 Edition, PC - Got a god complex and more spare time then a lifer in maximum security, then this is for you
Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends, DS –Sounds so nice, dinner with friends ah, it's just so, ahh, nice
Cruis'n, WII - sup yeah boy, gettin in da wit da low ride aight, I know any whiter and I’d be transparent
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements, 360 – Tolkien homages seem to be the theme of the day here using valves secrete source to make the magic happen
Democracy, PC - Democracy the video game, pander to the people keeping everyone happy, well shaft me with a pineapple if that doesn't sound like a lump of crazy fun.
Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey, WII - Buy for your kids, Play by yourself to perv over Ariel, Hey Ariel mind if I explore your underwater kingdom, I bet you wouldn't you piece of scaly hotness you, rarrrrrr.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, WII - Does not matter what I say, if your a fan you’ll buy it regardless of what I say, if your not you'll avoid it like clap on a donkey.
Dragoneer's Aria, PSP - Grind-tastic RPG, with oooohh wait for it....dragons
Game Party,  WII – Game……Party, see this, yes you who bought Mario Party and - Warioware this is ALL your fault, don't give that, "but the wii doesn't have any games", I..I just can't look at you any more (sniff)
Miami Nights: Singles in the City, DS - Pretend to be young single and living in the City, not really much of an escape from the daily grind of life is it really.
Penumbra: Black Plague, PC - Horror!! Oh the Horror, it's nasty I'm told
Powershot Pinball Constructor, DS - Well umm, kind of does exactly what it says on the tin
Ratatouille: Food Frenzy, DS - Cooking mini games, bet that took THQ two minutes to knock up, about as long to play and you still go home hungry.
The Destiny of Zorro, WII - The marketing dept seems to have employed the same tactic as the last few Nicolas Cage movies, tell no one about it then they can't find out it's rubbish, but you can bet your ass you'll be waving that wii mote about like a crazy fool slashing through endless baddies, so at least you'll get some RSI for your trouble.

Chess (Wood)

Having worked through a few retro video games lately I thought I'd try one of the earliest I could find. Similar in play to something like Final Fantasy Tactics on the Game Boy Advanced, Chess is a deep game, easy enough to pick up but becomes brain hemorrhagingly complex very quickly. Oddly for games of this period it's multiplayer only, similar to say Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with no single player mode. You actually have to have friends to play this and, much like the Game Boy Advanced, they must be sat in front in of you. Mercifully, batteries and link cables are not required which could explain some of its popularity. Chess has evolved a rich tournament following too and global competitions are held regularly, accumulating five times the viewers of the League of Legends World Championships. The game does have its draw backs. It’s very easy for novices to get into a none winnable situation, two pieces following each other round the board until someone nods off. A little of ...

Pokemon Sapphire (GBA)

Here we have the 3 rd Generation of Pokémon Games for the Nintendo handheld console. Sapphire and Ruby. Not a great deal has changed since the first generation and nor will it for the next six. The game consists of you skuttling around a made-up Japanese island hunting creatures into servitude. The poor beings follow you on a long excursion of frequent and arduous battles with other trainers. Eventually culminating in your crowning as Pokémon master of masters of the universe! or some such. The game is a heavily disguised version of more traditional Role-Playing Games. Rather than fighting yourself though, you thrust your hapless creatures in the role of ready cannon fodder. Carefully selecting moves against opponent types in an overly complex version of rock, paper scissors. Your minions evolve, change (sometimes unrecognisably from before) and learn completely new moves. The evolution of these little buddies is quite satisfying, and you soon become quite attached to a few of t...

Devil May Cry 4, Is Reviewed

I'm scarred, I'm scarred because here will be another game that I will buy, spend about 5mins playing before I question my PS3's parentage and sexual activity in loud squeaky voice. I know this will happen mainly because of this line in the review , "the game is kick-in-the-balls tough", yep really looking forward to this. I also KNOW this will happen because exactly the same thing happened to me with DMC3, think I got the bit just after the 3 headed dog (The FIRST boss), then lost my save....Have not played it since. But I know I'll buy it again because I love DMC, 1 was breath of fresh minty air not seen again until God of War came out, 2 was large poo baguette but then 3 while very difficult I did enjoy, once I'd calmed down. Oh but then there is a small glimmer of hope for me, "DMC4 is easier than the third instalment" Thank GOD! Note: Previous incidents mentioned above have honestly almost got me kicked out halls in uni, DOA2, nuff said. CVG
