It’s all over so unexpectedly

[Shenmue 2 - Sega Dreamcast]
I completed Shenmue 2 the other day, and it was an almighty anti-climax, more on that later. You arrive at Guilin in search of Bailu village. Soon after there’s a cool cut-scene with Shenhua (the woman from the cover), a stormy river and a white deer. Shenhua’s trying to save the [...]

I’m selling my NES!

Hello people,
If there really is anyone who reads this blog regularly they’ll know I intended to complete all my video games. Until now I haven’t included my NES games: Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Kung Fu. Out of those lets face it, the only game that is really worth completing is [...]

Doesn’t quite live up to the first one so far

[Shenmue 2 - Sega Dreamcast]
Well so far it doesn’t quiet live up to the original, it seems a bit too big. I’m often not sure where I’m supposed to be going. Now I’ve got to earn 500 yen and give it to this guy to progress in the game. So this means: crappy work, and [...]
