[stone] The War on Drugs

August 26th, 2010

The great thing about doing a university course on developing games is that you get to play games and call it research. The even better part of this is that as a member of the game development society (a founding member, no less) I have access to quite a few Steam games via the university steam accounts. One such game is Drug Wars.

[Wii] Super Mario Galaxy 2

June 5th, 2010

After recently completing the first Mario Galaxy, I took full responsibility of playing it at the expo. Throughout both days there was a massive crowd around the game, implying it’ll be new and different to the previous game however after managing to play it at the last minute I found I could shorten this review to “more of the same” but that would make it seem like a bad thing, since it is still one of my favourite Mario games and so much has been improved.

First of the premise, which is the same as usual. Peach has yet again been captured by Bowser and you as the portly plumber have to go save her (I’d have given in by now and just let Bowser have her) by collecting stars from various levels (galaxies) and face several bosses along the way.

[Retrocity] New Year Special

January 3rd, 2010

Well as it’s exam season and new year I have decided to be pretty lazy and do a special. Hooray and whatnot. Well for this special I want to know what are you favourite retro games and what you thought of them. Pretty much like weekly play (and this week making up for lack of one) with games you have played earlier in your lifetime.

I shall be trying all games suggested here if I can and probably writing my views of them on later weeks as well. So bring on the comments and don’t kill me for lack of content this holiday.
