Zelda Wind Waker – Pearls

Posted on Written by

Played quite a bit since my last post complaining about the ship telling me which way to go. I've now collected the grappling hook, deku leaf which allows me to glide & boomerang which is great for locking onto multiple targets.

I've collected all the pearls & have completed the second pirate ship challenge to unlock bombs.

I've now supposed to take the pearls to three locations on the map but I'm taking time out to explore other areas of the maps & discover the great fairies to receive upgrades.

Having not played a Zelda game since Link to the Past I am finding Wind Waker to be an enjoyable experience. My youngest son has managed to complete the game over the weekend, he enjoys using thee WiiU gamepad to play the game. "It's a giant DS machine, Dad"

Walking Dead Season 2 – Platform Swap

Posted on Written by

I played the first series on the Xbox 360 but thanks to a recent Playstation store sale I purchased season 2 on the PS3. I did think about my season 1 save on the 360 but what the hell at less than a fiver I could not complain. The first three episodes have already been released so I downloaded these to enjoy over a few evenings last week.

The story continues with Clementine now a little bit older & stronger. I won't spoil the story but just to say that the first episode quickly introduces you to a new group of characters that will accompany Clementine through the challenges the zombie apocalypse throw at her. It is the same great story-telling that Telltale are now becoming masters of producing.

Episode 4 is due for release during July.

Angry Birds Epic – Turn Based RPG

Posted on Written by

The Angry Birds brand has been applied to the turn based RPG formula & produced not a bad result.

You have your usual level up stats, weapon & armour upgrades, crafting & various characters.

So far I have not come across any paywall, there are in-app purchases for the materials & gold you need but you can get these from just playing the game.
I've not played an iOS game for a long while (apart from Carcassonne & Lost Cities) but have been playing ten odd minutes per day on this for the past week.

Link it up to facebook to get your friends to help you on your adventure & complete the daily challenge for rewards. There is also a large world map to explore with various boss fights & wave battles.

Rovio are ticking off all the franchise boxes, whats next FPS? Call of Angry Birds

Lost Cities – 100 Games

Posted on Written by

Not much gaming at all the past couple of weeks with the World Cup to enjoy. I think I have managed about an hour of Zelda Wind Waker but I do still get time for iOS gaming.

Playing the 100th game of Lost Cities against Luffers, I've got a 12 game lead.




Destiny – Alpha

Posted on Written by

Over the weekend I managed to play quite a bit of Destiny & hit the level cap for the Alpha test.

On Earth you have three types of modes Story, Explore & Strike.

The story mission is quite short but gives you a bit of a background into what your role is in the game.

The Strike mission is very tough even with my level eight Titan & two other online players there were quite a few tough bosses to overcome. I died quite a few times on this but thankfully the co-op players were able to revive me.

The Explore mode is my favourite because it lets you explore the gorgeous terrain whilst completing simple missions and taking part in public events. I spent hours just exploring the many caves & underground passages. Occasionally you would come up against some very tough level 10+ enemies that you just could not harm. I found an opening in the dam wall which took me to an outside area littered with rusted vehicles.

Visually it looks amazing, I have some screenshots I took below & more on my PS4 which I will upload later.




Can't wait till July 17th for the Beta. I think I may have to take a couple of days off work to enjoy.
