No CommentsInitial thoughts on FF13 – 5 hours in…
Just thought I’d give my impressions on FF13 so far after 5 hours of play, the graphics are some of the most impressive of this generation, on the PS3 version at least it’s often hard to tell when the game switches from HD quality cutscene to in-game engine cutscene (I imagine it’s more noticeable on...

No CommentsThe Secret Armchair of Totemicshock
I was planning on recording some WoW footage for a new edition of Addon Corner last weekend but the Cyclone battle-group lag situation prevented anything constructive game-wise from occurring. So I thought some random rambling would do for now. I’m getting back into WoW at the minute, focusing on getting my Shammy Totemicshock geared for both...

No CommentsLOTRO: More Thoughts
Having reached level 26 with my Hobbit Burglar I realised I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I’d hoped. I picked the Rogue like class as I presumed (despite the mention of it being a Debuffer on the character creation screen) that it’d be much like WoW and it would be a good DPS class. As...

No CommentsRandom January Update
Well fladdle my fleddle it’s been a fortnight since I last updated so without further ado! My Pulse arrived (confirming sadly that I’m not one of the undead) and it’s a rather nice phone. As my first Android phone I’m pretty impressed at it’s capabilities and might well try and program “something” for it at some...

No CommentsOoooh exciting project in the planning stage!
So since my last blog, Patch 3.3 has hit and been a tremendous hit and Tiger Woods has taken an extended break from golf. This means I have a void to fill! After talking to my best mate Pete I decided to buy Street Fighter 4 for the PC, after doing so I thought why not...

No CommentsPatch 3.3 Looms
Gadzooks! Almost a month with no posts, BAD Simon!!! World of Warcraft Patch 3.3 is looming ever closer as it looks like it’s slowly winding down on the PTR which means we should be seeing it live in the next 2-3 weeks, but what does it bring for us normal folk? As I’m sure most of you...

No CommentsThe Resurgence of the ARPG?
It seems that the Action Role-Playing Game genre is having a bit of a comeback, with the excellent Torchlight and the genre-bending Borderlands (with it’s first person shooter take on the genre) hoping to quench players thirst for loot until Diablo 3 hits. I’m REALLY enjoying both these titles at the moment and they are both...

No CommentsQuick Thoughts on Champions Online vs. City of Heroes
So, I’ve got a few days of play over with Champions Online and just thought I’d get a few thoughts comparing the two onto paper as it were… How They Look To be fair, both kinda nail the comic booky feel to some degree. Yet, both look very different. Champions Online goes the cel-shaded route, with thick...
