Here’s a thing. I’m actually getting better at this. Yes, yes, I know that’s how games are meant to work, but I tend to find that once I’m through the tutorial for a game my skill level is set. Games where I feel myself improve are rare things – Bayonetta is one, Super Monkey Ball

I’d like to talk to about bananas. Bananas are good, because collecting ten of them gives you an extra life. Bananas are also good, because if you collect all ten on a level without losing a life you get a little crown icon for that level. (I think that getting all the crowns would result

It’s been a long time since I played any Monkey Ball. Too long, I reckon. I love the little simian chaps and their crazy floating worlds. Also, some of my fondest gaming memories are of playing Monkey Bowling, drunk, falling asleep between each throw. So why it’s taken me quite so long to get the

Important Fact 1: This has nothing to do with sparkling vampires. Important Fact 2: It doesn’t have much to do with golf, either. You’ve got a ball (or disc). You send it flying around the level until it hits the other ball (or disc). That’s the gist of it, anyway. Of course, there are a

The next game I tried was the mini golf game Adrenaline Golf Online, because that was the other game that wasn’t working at all. It, too, worked as soon as I started it up. As I’d only bought it to test out my iPhone, I wasn’t really bothered whether it was any good or not,

They’re lucky I put the “PGA Tour” on the end and didn’t just call it Tiger Woods, quite frankly. I’ve been eyeing it for a

Played a few rounds as Sackboy, in an awesome example of gaming crossovers. (Or cross-promotional marketing, if you have horns and a tail.) It’s a very relaxing game to play on a Saturday morning. No great revelations – it’s the same game it’s always been with a few tweaks and new, slightly different, control scheme

Another game from Goozex that I had to test out before leaving feedback. The install was lengthy, I played an “Advanced Shots” tournament, which I won by miles, then I went to the online section to get the latest updates. Left it on overnight, got up at half five to feed the cat, checked the

I played the demo of this a while back. But it timed out before I could try designing a course and, until I got a helpful comment on the post I made about it, I didn’t realise you could restart community game demos. Anyway, it’s taken until now for me to try it again. Since

Another community game, which costs a whopping 800 points. Seems like it might have quite a lot going for it – a basic but reasonably enjoyable golf game with a built in course designer – but after playing three holes I decided to check out the course designer, but didn’t manage to try it before
