And the cheat code for CJ's Elephant Antics was 'HAIRYARSEHOLES' the magazines would have to find creative ways to print that in their cheat sections.

They actually found an old unreleased Dizzy game for the NES last year called Wonderland Dizzy. They released it for free online: http://yolkfolk.com/playdiz...

I was a big Dizzy addict as a kid. Was just £2.99 for a game on the Commodore 64.

I was always secretly jealous of the fact that the in Amstrad version Dizzy had his red boxing gloves which was beyond the C64s abilities for some reason. Treasure Island Dizzy was my favourite one, and probably the most frustrating as well.

No lives or energy bar, once you were dead you had to start over from the beginning.

And the inventory management was the biggest threat in the game as you needed to have the snorkel in your 3 item inventory in order to travel under water. Trouble is that when you pick something up everything in your inventory moves up one slot and the item at the top is dropped if you're already carrying 3 things and it was the easiest thing in the world to drop your snorkel while under water and dizzy would drown, his eggy corpse floating slowly to the surface.

It really feels like a bonus Souls game. But its got lots of it's own really neat systems in play. Very tough so far though, like playing Demon Souls for the first time.

Most of Saturday is going to be spent doing a session of Kingdom Death Monster. But I'll be hoping to play as much Nioh as possible this weekend, it's really very special.

I'd only ever played the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions. I even had the broadband adapter for the Gamecube (Which still comes in handy for 8 player LAN Mario Kart) But I grabbed Blue Burst this evening and sunk a few hours into it, even beating the dragon.

Playing on the EU server for Ephinea. I might just set up a Cool Ghosts team whenever I'm on there, and maybe if anyone else is jumping back in to it then do the same.

Takes a while to get going too. The first episode is mostly just teaching the mechanics and then the second episode is setting up the characters in more detail. Things don't really kick off until about episode 3. Once you've completed it you can choose what episode you want to do though.

The UK price is completely crazy. It's just €40 here in Ireland which works out at less than £30.

Have always been a big fan of Destiny though, it scratches that Phantasy Star Online itch that went unscratched for far too many years.

Loved this game as well. Only managed to save 3 teenagers though. Luckily they were all the ones I disliked the least.

They said I could have my votes reinstated if I wanted to change to a more acceptable entry. But I feel that might be a betrayal to all good people who voted Human Centipede. I'm open to suggestions though.

Remember the clouds from last year? I liked the clouds.
