I've been playing a lot more than I've been blogging even if I did promise myself that I was going to keep my blogging up. Ah well! :)So what have I've been playing lately. Let me think...I've got a chance to do a review of "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" for Girl Gamers UK. Check it out here. JRPGs are not really my usual style but I've actually enjoyed playing it on some level. Still not completed

I downloaded A Kingdom for Keflings a while back on Xbox Arcade. I had heard someone mention it and I thought it sounded a bit like my type of game, so I thought I'd give it a try.I finally unlocked all 12 achievements today and got my full 200 points. Yay! :) Who would have thought that walking around as a giant in a friendly little town could be so addictive? I also think the happy sounding in

Haven't been blogging a lot lately but I'm feeling inspired again - so here I am. :)So what's been happening since March? Well - I've been playing a lot of games, mainly on the Xbox and Wii. Never really thought I would get hooked on the Xbox being a Nintendo girl at heart, but I have. I think it's the gamepoints collecting that I'm hooked on. :) I like this extra addition to the games that give

Dug out another one of our old DS games - Trauma Center Under The Knife. Never really spent a lot of time playing this game when we first bought it so I thought I would have another go.You have just finished your internship and have to perform your first procedures as a young male doctor. The game teaches you the variuos steps that have to be performed during surgery and you of course have to do

Looks like the Wii jOG is being released in April and will be priced around £19.99. If only I knew someone who's birthday was in April... oh hang on - ME! :D Can't wait to actually run around as a little Lego Princess Leia. ttfn

So we bought the Mystery Case Files MillionHeir a couple of weeks ago after seeing it advertised on the TV. I have to admit I had pretty high expectations after the commercial and was hoping for a cool little puzzle game. The game has both a single player and a multi player option. I have not yet tried out the multi player option so I can't really make any comments on that. The single player

Just watched Jason try out the Wii jOG on the Gadgetshow and he liked it - so how bad can it be! :) Looks like great fun and gives you a chance to burn off some calories at the same time. It is SO made for the Lego games. Can't wait to try one out. Wonder when the release date is? Can't seem to find it anywhere.Anyway - I want one :)

So my other half is in the US at the moment and I haven't really felt like playing any games this last week. Anyway - I'm getting itchy fingers now so I thought I would have a look at some of our DS games. We haven't exactly got the biggest collection but I'm sure there will be something in there that I can play. He did of course take the best games with him when he went (Professor Layton and

So I was browsing the internet on Monday trying to find some inspiration for the logo and I went onto Deviant to have a look there. I found this great image of a girl in a penguin suit by Linistic that I thought would be perfect and he was happy to let me use it. Yay!Messed about with the layout a little bit and found a font that I thought suited the image.Anyway - I hope you like it. :)Now -

So I am trying out a new layout. Messed about with the template a bit and created a sidebar on either side of the main text. This is the first time I have ever tried changing a blog template so please let me know if something is not working. However - from what we can tell it seems to be working ok in both Explorer and Firefox at the moment.The colours are also a bit different but these will

Geekini! Now here is a good reason to get fit before summer. All the girls on the beach will think it's stupid and ugly, and all the guys will secretly love it.I want one :)ttfn

Flickr is a great place for pictures of all things weird and wonderful, and I have a habit of browsing the place for completely random things just for a bit of fun.Just did a search for Nintendo cufflinks and these are some of what I found: NES Cartridge Cufflinks by Acletras NES Cufflinks by MrQuint15 Gameboy Cufflinks by Figerrific Mushroom Cufflinks by Jula Julz Triforce Cufflinks by

So we're still trying out Kororinpa. We've been playing a bit in 2 player mode and are now trying to unlock a few more balls and also the secrets that you only get in 1 player mode.Anyway - I thought I'd make Steven pose in some of his games t-shirts this morning. Not too sure how much he was loving the experience but hey - he's well trained. :)As you can see there's a is a Lego Star Wars theme

Kororinpa it is!Other half finally decided on which game to start with. He pretends that a little bit of thinking went into him picking Kororinpa but I'm not so sure. Funny how it just happened to be the first one on the list... :) Anyway - Wii is powered up, game has been loaded and we're about to start. Been a while since we tried this game out last time so I can't really remember it all that

So it's finally the weekened and we can do some gaming. Yay! It's weird really 'cause in work yesterday I was thinking to myself that this week had flown and that I could have used a few more hours to finished off some of the things I am working on. However - when I look at the game consoles collecting dust next to the telly I feel that it has been so long since I've played that I'm not sure that

Felt like making a blog today and thought - hey, why not? :)So here I am feeling the urge to write something about "girls who game". We are supposed to be the rare species but we all know that this is NOT the case. Don't we? Plenty of girls love to play games however - I just don't know any! lol At least not outside the online world of "strangers".So how did I get into gaming? I can't really
