Tick tock….

Jaki Crush

I was lucky enough to stumble across this relatively unknown Japanese SNES/Super Famicom release back in the golden days of the Super Wild Card. It’s still one of my favourite games of all time (I’m playing it on the GP2X these days), it’s also one of the best SNES/Super Famicom soundtracks I’ve ever heard (up [...]

R.I.P 1Up Yours, long live Rebel FM!

With the sad passing of what we all came to know and love as 1Up Yours, comes a phoenix from the flames…

Goodbye 1UP Yours

Goodbye 1UP Yours, it was a wild ride – we’ll miss you.

Call Of Duty 4 – bye bye America :p

Posted by: Kerosene on: March 26, 2008

In the last few days (thanks to the new PS3 mute patch), playing COD4 has been a much nicer experience. With the Americans muted out of the game, there’s finally enough clear airtime to hear the rest of the world talking – and more importantly, to hear the twigs snapping…

Call Of Duty 4 – welcome back to gaming

Posted by: Kerosene on: March 7, 2008

I bought a PS3 about a month ago. Long story short – I love it, I love GT5 Prologue, but most of all, I love COD4. I have NEVER played a game with anything remotely like the depth of immersion that this game has. The Chernobyl levels in COD4 are stunning – I’ve always had [...]

Duck Hunt – for real (well… kinda)

Posted by: Kerosene on: October 8, 2007

I just got myself a cheap and nasty Namco Guncon2 light gun for AUD$30 (delivered). I bought it primarily to use with my PS2, but also to use with emulators – specifically FCE Ultra running the Nintendo classics Duck Hunt and Hogan’s Alley. To my surprise, it actually works! I’m using the WinGun driver, which [...]

My all time favourite game

Posted by: Kerosene on: August 9, 2007

I’ve been playing the excellent GPSP2X Gameboy Advance emulator on my GP2X for the last few weeks, purely with the aim of unlocking Fire Attack in Game & Watch Gallery Advance. As far as I can remember, Fire Attack and Parachute were the first computer games I ever played as a kid.

Rediscovering gaming

Posted by: Kerosene on: November 28, 2006

About once every two years I’m reminded why I like gaming. And Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy is my latest reminder. This is the first PS2 game since ICO that I literally haven’t been able to put down. The music, the humour – Luke, Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, Han, Chewbacca, and Lego! – it’s [...]
