Star Wars: The Old Republic – Revan

Posted on September 9, 2016 by Cat

Thanks to the fantastic ‘Knights of the Old Republic’ [KotOR] game [fun fact: it’s the main reason I got into and love gaming], my favourite era of Star Wars is the Old Republic. Yes, the seven films are great, but … Continue reading →

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Cat

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Cat

I recently completed Mass Effect 2 and then straightaway played Mass Effect 3. In fact, Mass Effect 3 and my worry about being unable to avoid spoilers for any longer were the reasons I decided to buy a new 360 … Continue reading →

Happiness is..

..finding that the 360 hard drive with my games saves, particularly my Mass Effect 1 and 2 games saves, wasn’t stolen after all. Now I just need to read through my posts about Mass Effect 2 to remind myself what … Continue reading →

Need more soundtracks. Need them now!

Posted on November 15, 2010 by Cat

Having just started a “normal” 9-5 job again I have discovered I’m in need of more orchestral soundtracks from either films or games. Whilst my iPod has over 70GB of music, a large part of it is unsuitable as it’s … Continue reading →

Where have all the gaming posts gone?

Posted on October 12, 2010 by Cat

Amongst several others there’s a draft sitting in my, well, drafts, lamenting on how I jump from interest or hobby to another to come back to it at a later time thus effectively proving my nomadic nature. In that post … Continue reading →

Dragon Age: Origins. Who would have thought a dog could save the world?

Posted on March 20, 2010 by Cat

I’ve finally completed Dragon Age Origins and overall it’s the first BioWare game I’ve mostly not enjoyed, despite wanting to like it all the way through. The last three hours were painful and, although final bossfights tend to let me … Continue reading →

Mass Effect 2 – Oh yes, there was that whole saving the galaxy thing.

Posted on March 17, 2010 by Cat

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last played Mass Effect 2 and yet it feels much longer. I don’t really have any valid excuses either, though there was the annoyance of losing two hours of gameplay when … Continue reading →

Mass Effect 2 – “Oh no, here comes disc 2”

Posted on February 13, 2010 by Cat

As soon as I started carrying on from where I left the game earlier I was prompted to change discs. Even though I know that Mass Effect 2 only uses the second disc for it’s middle section, or at least … Continue reading →

Mass Effect 2 – Some more thoughts

Posted on February 9, 2010 by Cat

As I’ve mentioned in my last post I met Garrus and the conversation has been brilliant. Upon returning to the Normandy, Shepard smiled which is one of the first times Shepard has smiled all together and it was quite nice … Continue reading →

It’s time for Mass Effect 2!

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Cat

Knights of the Old Republic is the game that got me into gaming. I remember playing it at work [in Spanish!] not understanding a word and not really knowing what was going on. All I remember is walking around in … Continue reading →

Posted on January 23, 2010 by Cat

It’s only eight days to go until Mass Effect 2 is released and due to it including a character import I’m playing through the first one again to create the ‘perfect’ save. Ideally I want my character to be a … Continue reading →

Dragon Age: Alistair

Posted on November 29, 2009 by Cat

BioWare’s writing has always been brilliant and Dragon Age is no exception. In addition the voice cast is the most divers and almost best out of all their games. It would have been the best if Raphael Sbarge [Carth Onasi, … Continue reading →
