Trying Something New -- 2007-03-22

The Chronicles of Retro Gaming section is all lonely, having only 1 little article. So I decided to add another one. It's a little out of my writing comfort zone, but it's good to try new things. Feel free to let me know what you think.

RPGs? Puzzles? Where do I sign up? -- 2007-03-21

I'll be done with Final Fantasy III in about a week, so I ordered Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for the DS. I checked the local EB Games and they hadn't heard of it, nor do they have a record of it in their database. I don't know if it's just that particular store (They didn't have the DS lite when I went there last week) or if the game has a low national distribution, but I had to order it on Amazon, so it won't arrive for several days. Sad face.
However it does give me time to write more articles, like these:

The first game I got with my DS is Final Fantasy III. I had forgotten just how heavily it draws upon the Dungeons and Dragons ruleset. I am also enjoying the fact that the game is moderately difficult, something that has been missing from most handheld games. Although I don't have a game review as of yet (I usually like to finish games before I review them) I did draw inspiration from the game to write this article.

My Nintendo DS Lite arrived in the mail today, so productivity is likely to plummet. However, I squeezed out one last article for you, so enjoy.

Nightbird has been kind enough to contribute two Games Workshop articles this weekend, and I also managed to write one. You can click on the links below or go to the Games Workshop tab on the right.

I was also able to catch the movie 300 this weekend. This is what movie theaters were built for, people. Go and ye shall be entertained.

I haven't written a Games Workshop article in a long time, but I think this one turned out well. Plus writing it spawned an idea for another article, so everybody wins.

I have finished my backlog of game reviews:
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor
Rebelstar: Tactical Command
Space Rangers 2
Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis
The Temple of Elemental Evil
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter
It looks like I'm going to have to work on other areas of the website. I haven't decided whether I'm going to focus on the Games Workshop or start a new section to replace the White Collar Slavery section which has been so recently retired. We'll both find out soon I'm sure. -- sector24 |

Obsession -- 2007-03-04

This weekend I finally finished Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I spent more time playing this game than any other with the exception of World of Warcraft and Everquest, and it is near and dear to my heart.
I have now officially finished all of the GBA games I intend to play, so I bought a Nintendo DS Lite this weekend. The obsession continues...
