They say the past is a foreign country. Grab your passport as Rodent forumite puffle spends an hour in the company of a former gaming flame. Animal Crossing (Gamecube) Previously played – far more than I’d like to let on. It is with some trepidation that I boot up Animal Crossing. I’m not sure how [...]
Rodent’s resident incomprehensible Irishman, gogol1000, tests Splinter Cell’s conviction. (Note: this is a review of the single player campaign in Splinter Cell Conviction. The co-op campaign, and various co-op and competitive multiplayer game types aren’t covered.) Sam Fisher’s latest is an odd one. In days of yore Splinter Cell was an out and out stealth [...]
While Ahchay has already given us a comprehensive assessment of Battlefield 1943′s online lobby, apparently some people are more concerned with the whole runny/shooty gubbins that follows it. Each to their own, I guess. Rodent forumite “alex” had this to say: “I went ahead and bought Battlefield 1943 in a moment of weakness and, as [...]
Rodent’s “SolidChris” asks Ryo Hazuki, of Shenmue fame, for his Desert Island Discs. Check out the playlist here. Pops: Father and Son (Cat Stevens). Hello, I’m Ryo Hazuki. My Dad died and it made me weirdly emotionless for ages. He sort of died in my arms too. He were a really nice bloke and I [...]
Rodent forumite “matt” was able to get an exclusive interview with Sackboy. Or is it Sackgirl? Either way, check his/her eclectic playlist here Dress You Up (Madonna). My creator always goes on about this song, so I had to chose it. Apparently, the Media Molecule guys and girls had the Like A Virgin album on [...]
Rodent’s own “pagettypol” asks what particular tunes define the life of Pac-Man. Get the playlist here. The rising star: Good Times (Chic). This reminds me of when I was just appearing on the scene – everything was so new, shiny and awesome and this was constantly on the radio and in the clubs. After a [...]
Today’s Desert Island Discs are chosen by star of Gears of War and Gears of War 2, Marcus Fenix. When he’s not fighting the Locust Horde with his partner Dom and the rest of Delta Squad, what does a gravel-voiced, hardened Space-Marine listen to? Check out his his Spotify playlist for a few surprises… Eye [...]
Way of the Rodent forumite and resident OCD gamer moobaa has been enjoying Criterion’s latest addition to Paradise City. Oh yes. For me, the big (bigbigbig) news this week was the release of Burnout Paradise’s Big Surf Island. Now, I don’t mind admitting I was like a little schoolgirl just prior to its release: giggling [...]
Way of the Rodent forumite pagettypol has penned a letter to Value, telling them to ignore the nay sayers. What a nice chap he is. Dear Valve, Left 4 Dead 2 is on its way, hooray! I see some idiots are moaning about everything already. Apparently, you want to make lots of $$$, your business [...]
Way of the Rodent forumite Deggy isn’t enjoying the latest XBLA remake: “Bionic Commando: Rearmed then. Worth the 400 M$ points it’s currently going for and a 8 out 10 score in fEdge? Well, yeah, it probably would be if I could only get past the first friggin’ level! In many respects it reminds me [...]
