Invisible Cursor

Mental online game thing. Click the plates to smash them, then keep going when the cursor turns invisible.

I'll admit, I played this on my slate and kept going for ages before it dawned on me that I was cheating. Doh!

WiiWare! Wha? Woo Woo!

Nintendo have announced that they will be releasing a new channel on the Wii. Dubbed WiiWare it will play host to new, original content (unlike the re-hashes of the Virtual Console.) Software will be paid for using the same system as the VC titles.

First confirmed by US-based Newsweek, WiiWare will follow both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in releasing original downloadable titles, with the first batch of games set for release in 2008.

Complete Gamer

Fred at OneHundredPercent has an admirable ambition. He's going to complete his game collection. No, I don't mean he's going to fill his game collection, he's going to complete every game in his current game collection. That's 77 currently outstanding titles ranging from GBA to 360.

And he's going to blog it as he goes.

I will be blogging this process to give myself a forum to exult (when that Now Playing number goes down), despair (when it goes up… I can’t imagine I’ll stop buying games altogether during this shenanigan), and grumble (when I try to complete Ikaruga). I will be using GameFAQs judiciously (I’m not trying to prove anything about my skills… I just want to say I’ve finished all the games). I will count a game complete when the storyline has been finished… extra modes (hello, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness!) don’t count. Puzzle games, sports games, racing games, and any other genres not specifically mentioned which do not have actual storylines have been excluded.
He's currently working on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA) and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wii). FFTA is his last GBA game, so it will be satisfying to cross off a whole console, I guess.

Halo - I'm Back Again


If you've been living under a rock, or been in a coma, or you've stumbled across this blog completely by accident after googling for images of large black dildos, then you might not know that Halo 3 is coming out this autumn (September 25th to be precise.)

This will be my first real glimpse at the Halo world (disregarding Larry Niven's pale rip-offs of the concept in his derivative Ringworld novels) and short of playing Halo and Halo 2 single player missions through between now and then I'm going to be rather short of backstory when I load up Halo 3.

That's why I'm glad I've found A Brief History Of The Halo Universe. Now I can get up to speed on the storyline without having to play all those tedious last-gen games.

Hail Eris!


Noobz this morning announced their Illuminati exploit. A pan-firmware homebrew enabler for PSP. This works on every PSP out there, and only requires the Lumines UMD.

So far there's only the de-rigeur Hello World proof-of-concept, but the walls are crumbling.
