Hitman Contracts
May 21st
If it wasn’t for the times that it suddenly says “Your cover has been blown” without me knowing why I’d really love it.
As it is, I just really like it.
I’m trying to do “The Meat King’s Party” cleanly and I just got quite a way in and then a few seconds after talking to somebody it popped up the message about blown cover and everything went to hell.
New Super Mario Bros
May 21st
I am now the winner.
Sort of.
I worked out how to open up the cannon on World One, and the one on World Two. I’ve completely unlocked both of them and got all the special coins.
But I still can’t get to World Four.
New Super Mario Bros
May 21st
I woke up (very late) this morning with Lithuania’s Eurovision entry in my head.
After going out I spent ages trying to find a way to unlock the cannon on World One of New Super Mario Bros. Failed.
I am not the winner.
I’ve moved on to World Two for now, but there’s a fairly early coin I just can’t see how to get to.
Animal Crossing: Wild World
May 21st
A 43.4″ sea bass is my entry in today’s fishing tourney.
Will it be enough?
New Super Mario Bros
May 20th
Well, I’ve gone back and explored World 1 thoroughly. I’ve collected all the coins and opened all the coin doors… but I can’t find out how to get to World Two. There’s a cannon-looking thing on the map, but I can’t work out how to get to it. There’s a suspicious horizontal pipe in a nearby castle, but I can’t seem to enter it.

New Super Mario Bros
May 20th
Well, I got to the end this afternoon. Need to go back and fill in the gaps now.
BUY THIS GAME.
New Super Mario Bros

Oh, this is such a lovely game.
May be relatively short-lived, but it’s going to be replayable and it just feels, looks and sounds so good.
New Super Mario Bros
May 19th
Two levels played on the bus, then I ran back to a gate near the beginning of the world to spend some coins and save. I suppose I should trust the sleep feature, but I just don’t yet.
New Super Mario Bros

I really don’t want to complain about such a lovely, lovely game… but the fact it only lets you save every few levels until you’ve completed it is really rather rubbish.
