New Game – Tiny Dice Dungeon

Posted on 29/04/2014 Written by gospvg

Tiny Dice Dungeon ticks all the many RPG boxes with monsters, quests, experience points, boss fights & inventory management.

Your weapon of choice though is the DICE !!

Depending on what you roll will decide how much damage, healing or other special attack damage you can deal to your enemies.

If you roll a 1 however you will miss your turn. You can catch monsters to train & fight alongside you through the various quests. After a few stages of dungeons you will encounter a boss fight & once you have defeated your MIGHTY (& I mean MIGHTY) foe. You will have saved another villager which unlocks another shop or feature in the game.

The world map seems quite small but the dungeons soon become challenging thus requiring you to revisit the earlier stages to do some grinding to level up your character & monsters. This grinding does not feel like a chore because it gives you the opportunity to capture new monsters, collect & equip new items & find shards from defeated monsters.

To add the game does have wait mechanics (countdown timers) for your players stamina to reset. This does not bother me because I don't get more than five or ten minutes to play during a day.

New Game – Mass Effect 3

Posted on 28/04/2014 Written by gospvg

Yes I have Knack & Dishonored to still complete but I have forgotten the story, button control & what I was doing in both of these games. Also I really wanted to start playing Mass Effect 3 instead.

I imported my 45 Hour ME2 character to receive bonus credits & level stats to upgrade some skills.

The Reapers have arrived & Earth is under attack. Ashley has had plastic surgery & arrives in time with the Normandy to save you. A quick trip to Mars reveals a Prothean weapon that could be useful against the Reapers but alas Cerberus possibly also have the data. Ashley also gets her butt kicked & ends up in the Citadel hospital. Whilst I walk around trying to convince the citadel politicians to get take the threat seriously & support Earth.

A few subtle changes to the interfaces with a quick save on the back button but otherwise it is the same control method. The map screen is now slightly easier telling you where characters are located. I have not noticed any other differences.

After the brief tour of the Citadel I'm on a mission to save a turian primarch.
Rumours about ME Trilogy inbound for PS4/XB1, wish the developers would focus on releasing new games rather than releasing previous gen games with a fresh lick of paint.

Disco Zoo – Diamonds are forever & Funky Bus

Posted on 27/04/2014 Written by gospvg

Animals are forever
(Forever, forever)
Dance with your animals if you feel the vibe
Animals are forever
(Forever, forever, forever)
The Zoo is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever, forever ever
Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic
Disco Zoo on acid
Seen through Specsaver glasses
And I've realized that I've arrived 'cuz

Animals are forever
(Forever, forever)
Dance with your animals if you feel the vibe
Animals are forever
(Forever, forever, forever)
The Zoo is still alive every time I rhyme.
Forever ever, forever ever
Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

Gotta make a move to a
Zoo that's right for me
Disco to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy

Well, I talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about, Talk about
Talk about Disco

Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on

Won't you ride on my
Funky Bus
Won't you ride on my
Funky Bus
Won't you ride on my
Funky Bus
Won't you ride on my
Funky Bus

Deus Ex HR – Missing Link – Completed

Posted on 26/04/2014 Written by gospvg

Alas no Pinky & the Brain but a scientist who was willing to spill the gossip on Belltower if I could save her arse. Making my way back through the prison complex & Burke has now become aware of my presence (maybe it was the dead bodies littered all over the facility that gave me away). How does he react? like every evil bastard he decides to gas the prisoners & my Edward Snowden scientist.

"You must choose, Sheriff Jenson, Prisoners or Scientist?"
Hint - There is a way to save them both which is what I did.

I expected Burke to be a boss fight like the main game but I sneak onto the top of his cabin & drop a gas grenade in through the roof. Job Done. Catch the next express freight service to Hengsha.

Missing Link completed.

Pocket Mine, Ridiculous Fishing & Dice Jockey – Completed

Posted on 25/04/2014 Written by gospvg

After a couple of months of playing this & on top of most of the leaderboards it is time to call it a day with Pocket Mine.

The last challenge was to top the deepest exploration leaderboard which I recently completed.



Ridiculous Fishing is very similar to Pocket Mine in that it is an endless depth challenge. Collect the fish to get the money to purchase upgrades.

Anyhow moving on ...




Dice Jockey was a lovely little Devil Dice clone but with only 30 puzzle levels it is very quickly completed leaving you with only the survival or time limit modes. It is a game which is easier to play with a controller when you are aiming for a high score or the clock is ticking down so with the puzzle mode completed it's done.
