Bah, you two must be too young

Haly · 13-07-2007, 18:35

My youth doesn't usually make a difference because I'm that much of a gaming geek I still know plenty of C64 games let alone NES games

I'm disappointed in myself now

I sat down and played Feeding Frenzy last night for the first time properly (kids and Mrs. Feek have been playing it). I got through to level 14 with only losing one life, did a bonus stage (didn't clear it) and it flashed up with an 'end game or cancel' whatzit. Chose cancel and it bombed me back to the menu

I wasn't happy.

Haly · 18-07-2007, 10:18

Ooh I hate menus that don't properly explain themselves.

Think I might be getting bomberman shortly

A post on Bomberman from AVF...

Quote:

Ok, I've only played bomberman a few times before today so if there is anything missing from this game that made it special to people I won't know. With that said...

There is 8 different arenas to play in, the standard one and 7 with different features and graphics, all of these 7 can be played without the feature if you just want to play the standard game with different graphics.

There is options Galore, different game types, like paint bomb, zombie and bombing run and you can chose pretty much anything you want about your games. length, number of people up to 8, difficulty of the ai, revenge mode or super revenge mode (lets you earn your way back after death) as well as choseing which powerups and powerdowns you want in the game.

Achievements look challenging, varied and a few amusing ones like you must win a game with all of you dressed as girls.

Graphically looks great, bright colourful, widescreen (no box in the middle of the screen like many clasic games).

A Blast (literally ) on live, there is ranked matches and ranked tournaments as well as normal player matches.

There is no single player campaign or anything, you just start a game, chose how many ai you want to play against and away you go.

There is lots of costume options for your bomberman and they can be mixed and matched, you earn them by picking up an item while playing. Some of these are needed for acheivements like for the cowboy or girlpower acheivements.

Overall game seems alot of fun, I don't see any reason people would be disapointed with spending 800 points.

Excellent. Bomberman really excels at multiplayer and over live it'll be brilliant. Nothing like hearing the reaction of other people when it all hits the fan

We'll have to get a game going with the BD lot at some point.

Desmo · 18-07-2007, 11:47

Aye. I'll deffo have it by tonight so hopefully there'll be at least 3 or 4 of us at some stage

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
