Rating: 5/5

This is the first Lego game I have played – and it wont be my last!
I enjoyed playing this game – and even enjoyed going back and doing the free play to unlock all the characters.

At first I wasnt sure how the spell casting would work, as come on you just know there are going to be a lot of things to do with spells.
I needent have worried – that is all taken care of by “drawing” the shapes with the stylus on the screen – sometimes it was a bit glitchey for me and needed it to be precise like on the Alohamora spell, also found the response for the stunning spells to be a bit slow on the uptake as to what I wanted it to do – but think I may need to clean my screen more than anything else.

You can fire through the levels at some speed and it isnt very challenging or hard in the slightest, though that is probably why I liked it – no fear of dying and having to start from the begining again. As you go you collect coins, hats, red bricks and cards all of which help you unlock over 100 playable characters. You even get Moaning Myrtle =)

The only thing I didnt like was the save mode – you couldnt play part of a chapter and then save it as you always had to start again, so in the wee small hours when I played it one my son went to bed I had to make sure I had time to play through a whole chapter.

Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir

Category: DS,completeFee @ 7:27 pm

Shortly after returning from six months on his ultra-plush yacht visiting the far reaches of the globe, eccentric millionaire Phil T. Rich mysteriously disappears from his mansion and is presumed dead. Hired by Mr. Rich’s estate, a highly skilled Master Detective is brought in to solve the case and find the rightful heir to his fortune.

Rating : 4/5

I completed this in about 2 days manily because it wasnt one of those hard to think about puzzel games. You get the option to follow the story line and find out what happend to Mr Rich and who the heir is or quickplay where you can just hunt for thestuff in the pcitures.

I played on story mode and thought it was quite funny at times – the names of the characters and their dialogs for example. The items you need to find can be quite hard to see depending on the scenario, but you have hints you are able to use in each scene – had to use a few when I just couldnt for the life of me find an item

Over all it was easy to play not to long and not to short either, they story was fun and the hide and seek kept it intersting.

Love fool

Category: Achievements,WarcraftFee @ 7:01 pm

Today marks the start of “Love is in the Air” holiday event for Valentines on WoW.

I have noticed since the dawn of acheievments that everybody and anybody comes online and causes serious lag – well for me and my little netbook 1fps is shite!- for these kinda events. Everyone competing to get the title before everyone else.

Its caos in the major cites where most of the quests can be done – most of which are pretty to gain.
So far I have clocked up the easy ones – but being daily quests I have to wait until tomorrow to attempt them again to try the other achievements.

=( bah I hate dailies – Will probably take me until next year to complete the whole of this one, but every little counts.

Xmas brings games

Category: DS,General,PS3,Warcraft,WiiFee @ 4:23 pm

Had a very successful year this xmas for games – be it presents or bought in the sales.

Ok most arent for me as my partner has first dibs on the PS3 but one day I might find a game to play on it lol

DS – Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box
Mystery Case files: Millionheir

Wii – Mario Bros

PS3 – Assasins Creed 2,
Call of duty 4
Street Fighter

The PS3 ones I will never touch – though i do like watching my partner playing Assasins Creed. Cant wait to get home and play the Mario one on the Wii I have heard people raving about it, but sadly the in-laws dont have a Wii – need to rectify that I think one day lol.

I am so chuffed that this little netbook I got for Xmas plays WoW so I might be able to get a sneaky game in once the wee fella is sleeping and the in-laws dont notice =)

LFG PUG

Category: WarcraftFee @ 6:55 pm

Since the new patch I have been making use of the new Looking For Group dungeon system. I am not one who likes dungeons or grouping with others, but I am loving this!

I have manged to get Einin kitted out in full Tier 9 gear and i got a cute little pug pet which helps towards my pet collection achievement.
Using this new system of finding other players I have managed to also complete loads of dungeon acheievemnts, which I never ever thought I would get.

Teaming with Leeman and Lathe has been great and looking forward to many more groupings in the new year =)

Loremaster Achievement

Category: Achievements,WarcraftFee @ 12:26 pm

This is one of the main achievements that I want to get out of the way with Einin so I can concentrate on my other Characters.
I finally after weeks and weeks of grinding running all over one island to the other looking for low level quests managed to get Loremaster of Kalmindor on 24 Oct then 4 days later got Loremaster of Eastern Kingdom on the 28th Oct.
Now all i need to go is complete 140 quests in Icecrown to get Loremaster of Northrend then I can retire from this acheivement when I get my Loremaster Title and Colours!

Sounds easy but really there are a ton of group quests and I am very much a single player kinda gal apart from when I am grouping with my fiance. So it might take me longer than I think to complete this area.

Will have to see…..

New expansion

Category: WarcraftFee @ 6:23 pm

Ok in the world of WoW this is now “old” news, but at the recent Blizzcon they announced yet another expansion – Cataclysm.
Just when I thought that I had so much to acheive from Burning Crusade and Wrath they throw this in the mix.

From what they are saying they are doing a total re-haul of the main contenients and changing the whole look of certain places. I have been bust taking screenshoots of my main Einin in every possible location I can think off that is going to looki totallt different in ordrer to rememeber what it was like once this comes out.

Im quite dissapointed that the changes will affect new players, so they will never know what the games looks like currently if they decided to start playing WoW after cataclysm comes out. I thought once I heard the rumours of this expansion that it would effect only those that had the new expansion and not everyone, I can see why they need to have over the board, and cant actually wait for it to come out.

In the mean time I am busy doing all the acievements with my level 80 hunter to get as many complete that may not be available when the new one comes out.

I am typing this one handed as left wrist in a cast =( so applogies for any spelling errors that i have missed.. will blog more on this later.

Purpose

Category: Random,WarcraftFee @ 1:22 pm

So this blog is going to be a bit of a gaming blog now =)

I am heavily into World of Warcraft at the moment but would class myself as a total gaming girl – just yet…

Going to use this blog to tack my WoW progress and any other games I should come across that I like… which probably wont be many.

Warcraft..

Category: WarcraftFee @ 9:15 am

In the 3 months that I have been off work so far, I ahve spent alot of time playing Warcraft.

Mainly because when the wee man is sleeping and i have done what I need to do aroundit is a little bit of me time. I love the game and it is so addictive. I aim to have another 2 level 80 characters by the time I go back to work in January, whihc at the moment is going to be easliy do-able as sitting with a  level 60 and a level 36 which are now classed as my main-alts.

I realise people reading this who dont play WoW or have no idea what it is all about when be thinking what the fuck is she on about?

You just need to lump im afraid =D lol

It is down the now for weekly maintanence so keeping the wee man occupied – actualy he is now fallen asleep so taking his morning nap, hope the servers are up soon so I can get a wee bit of game time before heading into work to see the girls.
