Throwback Thursday #17- A Puzzling Affair

Wednesday, 30 Mar 2016

I never understood the appeal of puzzle games until the most unlikely title turned me on to a world of gem swapping, tile sliding and block stacking wonders. I guess we've all got to start somewhere, right?

Miyamoto's Garden #4

Tuesday, 15 Mar 2016

As I took a sip of water, it was then I realised... this was not liquid for drinking but rather the salty tears of Sega Executives; I knew then that our very own Iun Hockley surely had something to do with this. Please join us as we take another trip to the centre of the great Miyamoto's Garden, don't mind the pile of burning Dreamcast consoles!

What was that? Sorry I must have drifted off there for it is so peaceful in the great Miyamoto's Garden...the fictional alternative reality residing in the brilliant brain of our own Iun Hockley. Wait I can hear a sound... like the echoes of a ten-generation curse.

A Matter of Age #2

Saturday, 27 Feb 2016

Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow may now be out on the 3DS Virtual Console service, but that’s not gonna stop us! We are still resolute in our quest to think of the children, so we present a fresh list of age appropriate titles, this time with a nice PEGI 7 rating, that are still far more child friendly than the original Pokemon titles…
