#oneaday Delving deep into the lore.

I absolutely love it when a game becomes so self-contained that it’s still springing surprises on the player after they’ve put in hours that have crept into double figures. 16 hours isn’t really a lot of time for most RPG’s, but by then, you’ve got the general gist of whats available to the player. You [...]

#oneaday Gave it to him on a plate

That title probably sounds a little dirty doesn’t it? Well sadly for you its not. I recently decided to make a return to Monster Hunter Tri on Wii, this was mostly down to finding a couple of like-minded people who were willing and able to play along online with me. Last night was the first [...]

#oneaday Weapons, Grids, Stats and Magic

Yeah yeah, I posted up a blog yesterday to cover Thursday, but nothing that was actually for yesterday, I actually couldn’t think of anything to write about, there’s wasn’t anything that came to light that I had a strong enough opinion about. Today is only young however, and something may pop up that I want [...]

#oneaday Heavy expectations

Removing differing tastes and different styles of games, what makes us enjoy one game less than another? I read this Tumblr user’s musings this morning and it got me thinking about things that could hamper our enjoyment of games that are regarded as good. I’ve said quite recently I struggle to get into Bayonetta, shortly [...]

#oneaday Gag reflex; a Bulletstorm first impression.

Phoo, Bulletstorm. I honestly do not know where to start, purely because my first experience of the game is one of ambivalence. Let’s put it this way, I wasn’t really a fan of Gears of War, I found it far too macho and the design of it dank, depressing and ridiculously BIG, and thats not [...]

#oneaday Let’s “pretrend”

Before I go ahead, the below text isn’t a criticsm of the Nintendo DS game The World Ends With You, which, from what I’ve played, is an excellent game. However, it does have something in common with what I want to discuss today and thats people following trends because they’re deemed to be cool. How [...]

#oneaday Retro Review: Metal Gear Solid

I usually try and do one of these each weekend for bitparade.co.uk, doesn’t always happen though, but this week I’ve managed it and as you can see, have been covering Metal Gear Solid.   It says alot about a particular franchise that its fans can overlook the fact each instalment has become more and more [...]

#oneaday Gyration in latex

I think I mentioned fairly recently that I really want to play Bayonetta, everything I’ve heard is pretty damned positive, but everytime I try to play it, I’d rather be doing something else. This got me thinking of what I do like about it based purely on what I’ve played thus far (which isn’t alot), [...]

#oneaday The all new, sparkly, re-re-released, re-masted, best ever, I can’t believe its not butter, 30% more release

There’s always been a trend in entertainment media to re-release things. Films get re-released all the time, either because of format changes or because the director has decided to take another stab at it (see Blade Runner and Star Wars). However its the Game re-release that gets my goat. I don’t mind the one-off designed [...]

#oneaday All aboard

So this years One A Day is now fully under way, I’m not entirely sure if I’ve been included in the “official list” as I’m not currently listed amongst the “2011 Participants“. I submitted my blog, so it might just be waiting to see if they catch up or whatever I don’t know, doesn’t really [...]
