    What do you guys think of "New 3DS"?

    I got the magical email a couple of weeks ago offering me the chance to be one of the new 3DS ambassadors. :D I didn't take them up on the offer (I might have been tempted if it had been the XL model) but I'm very likely to get one in the future. I love my 3DS, but there's nothing wrong with...

    Fantasy Life

    I love this game! I'd describe it as a cross between Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Animal Crossing. In some ways it's a bit repetitive, but I think the variety of careers and the reward/levelling system keeps it compulsive without getting boring. Plus there's a certain LOTR joke hidden in the...

    Wii U hard drive space

    Yup, I hear you. At least the WiiU can DL stuff in standby mode so it's not such a big deal to delete stuff and re-DL it when I'm ready to. You can expand the memory with a USB storage device - Nintendo's list of compatible ones is here - but I'it does feel like an oversight on their part to...

    Top choices for PS3 games?

    If you're into JRPGs, the PS3 is a great choice. I'm a huge fan of the Tales series of games (although the sequel to Tales of Symphonia isn't up to much). I like them because they're big and epic with plenty of stuff to find, plus the real-time combat is far more fun than just selecting which...

    LEGO City: Undercover

    Lego City is a fabulous game. It's got a great script, great levels, HUGE open world with loads of things to find and some fun uses of the WiiU controller - like holding it up to scan the room. As for if it's worth the whole machine ... probably not. No one game is worth a console to me, but...

    The "Fake Gamer Girl" idea needs to die now, please

    Warning: rant ahead. If I see one more person complaining about "Fake Gamer Girls" who are only pretending to like games to try and win themselves a gaming boyfriend, I am probably going to start lobbing bricks. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! Anybody who thinks most girls are pretending to like games...

    Would you like to see Assassin's Creed back on Nintendo?

    Yes - that's something I've noticed since getting a PS3, the Nintendo platforms have a distinct lack of DLC. AC3 had the King Washington storyline, but I don't think AC4 had any (but I may be wrong). It doesn't bother me that much because I think DLC is quite expensive for what it is. I agree...

    Pharoah

    It's been included in GOG's sales more than once in the past, so keep looking! I think it goes for about $3ish. Emperor is another game from the same people (same deal, Ancient China) which is very good. There's also Poseidon (same deal, Ancient Greece) but I'm not such a fan of that - it...

    Do you ever bother with Home?

    I remember when the PS3 was launched and everybody made a big fuss about this Home thing and the connectivity offered, but I realised when I posted this thread that it's never actually come out of Beta. Maybe the PS4 version will make more sense. TBH, I don't use any of the socialising things...

    Little King's Story

    Is it expensive where you are, then? Here it's about €10 for a second hand copy and €15 for a new one - a new Wii game usually costs about €35-40 if you shop around. Check your local second-hand shop or ebay because there are plenty of copies floating about. And forgive me, I don't know what 20 is.

    Little King's Story

    I believe there is a version available on PSVita as well, but I had and loved the Wii version. It's a bit like Pikmin with a touch of Lemmings - you control a child king who is trying to achieve world domination and many wives. You do this by assembling a band of workers and going forth into...

    Little King's Story

    So, I'm a fool who double posted a thread. Move along. Nothing to see here...

    Pharoah

    The hours I sunk into that game... For anybody unfamiliar, Pharoah is a spiritual sequel to Caesar 3 - same game-play style but set in ancient Egypt rather than the Roman empire. You have to build a city by placing houses, shops, wells, etc making sure you generate enough food and other goods...

    Majora's Mask 3DS

    Hmmm ... in my opinion, MM is better from a critical standpoint, but OOT is definitely the more playable of the two. MM has this incredibly tight story - it's set in a land called Termina over the three days before the moon crashes, killing everybody. All of the characters have a routine which...

    Majora's Mask 3DS

    How excited am I? VERY. This is the game which almost made me fail my first year of University. I loved it and I'm so glad I'm going to get another chance to play it. I've replayed Ocarina of Time on the Gamecube (via the limited edition Master Quest version which came with the first copies of...

    Do you ever bother with Home?

    I logged in the other day to see they're stopping the updates of the PS3 Home feature, which got me wondering if anybody ever actually uses it. There always seem to be loads of avatars around the place, and there are plenty of fun ideas (like the Harry Potter sections!), but the experience for...

    Would you like to see Assassin's Creed back on Nintendo?

    I love the Assassin's Creed games - yes, I'm a stabby type - so I'm really disappointed the new games aren't making an appearance on the Nintendo console. I've played 1 and 2 on PS3, and 3 and 4 on WiiU and control-wise I'd take the WiiU version any day. Having the map on the controller makes...
