Normal blogging will be resumed shortly, but to mark the new year, here are the best ten games of 2009… that I played. (So no Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2, for example.) It was hard to whittle it down to a top ten, but I think I got there. Unfortunately, it means that 33rd

I’ve got all the torn letters now. Hooray! I guess I’ll have to go and fight the final boss now, though I’m not sure I have enough lives left after losing a huge amount on a difficult section in one of the levels. Also, I’ve got to Morgan in the boss rush and I haven’t

Finally got the tenth torn letter! Took me a couple of hours, but the second half of the path up to it was far easier than the first, so once I got half-way I got the letter easily. Now I’ve got to decide whether to try the final boss or run away and start over

Fighting the upgraded versions of the annoying twins Kim and Chi over the last few days, I found myself experiencing the gaming equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome.

The first time I faced the Chefbot 9000 he killed me two hundred and fifty times before I finally took him down. The second time I faced him I lost one hundred and twenty seven lives before he died. Last night I faced him for the third time and lost one life, then killed him

Not quite. I got to the final boss, but then in a fit of self-sabotage I used my Prinny bomb attack with wild abandon. Now, the Prinny bomb attack uses your lives to send Prinnies hurtling from the sky. I spent so much time watching the boss’s health bar that I forgot to watch my

Just shy of seventeen hours, all lives lost. But now I’ve restarted with my collection of items intact, all practice stages unlocked and a new move. Hooray!

I’m at the final boss rush – which has checkpoints between bosses, thankfully. Bosses are upgraded versions of the original bosses I fought. I’m not going to make it, as I only have about thirty five lives left. I’m only on the second boss, see. That boss is actually two characters. They’d be easy enough
