It's only the fact that I knew my credit card would have to come out to play if I visited, that has kept me away from the new(ish)
Apple Store on Regent Street so far, but I cracked last week, deciding that an iPod Mini was
exactly what I needed to replace my stolen MP3 player. I've already filled 5Gb of it's 6Gb capacity (Doh!), but that's another story, what I really wanted to say is that if you're in central London you have to visit the store. It's like a geek dream made real and impossible not to browse around unecessarily. *joy*
Can
Lord Vader read your mind? You better get those Jedi mind tricks at the ready if you want to try and beat him [
thanks Hazel].
Judging by the number of people that have managed to mail me a link to
Hapland 2 in the short amount of time that it has been out (
thank you all) this is going to be one of the most popular
point'n'click games ever. Time will tell. Now stop mailing it to me. Seriously. Stop it. There's only so much my inbox can take and you're making it really hard for me to find all the really great deals on Rolexes I get sent.
A great find for me, as while I prefer
The Bourne Identity over the
The Bourne Supremacy, I'm a fan of both films (each making their way into my limited DVD collection), so the fact that the 2nd film has a
point'n'click game attached to it, seems like they had me in mind when they made it. Nice to play, but not overly hard, you can unlock DVD extras if you're into it, and (take note here games designers) there is a
choice of languages to play with.
I really wasn't sure whether or not to post
The Ink Quest as a
game, but even if it is very weird I know it will appeal to all you
point'n'clickers, you'll want to find all the hidden scerets and try to find a 'solution'. I'm not even sure there is one, at least not one you can find without being on some kind mind-altering drug. Personally I'm still enjoying the entirely unexpected
Kylie bit.
Are you drawn to the light or dark side of the force? If you don't know already (your plans for intergalactic domination might be a subtle clue) the
force-o-meter will tell you. I won't tell you my result, but let's just say that if I
was to become manager of an ice-hockey team I
would insist that they wear identical shiny body armour.
You're going to have to make do with basking in the superb style of
T-310V, because I'll be damned if anyone will know what's going on. Being in a language you don't understand certainly makes a
point'n'click adventure harder.
I challenge you not to feel good after watching and listening to "
Good To Be Square, it's exactly what I need halfway through what's turning out to be a particularly tough week. "
Oh child, things are going to get easier..." I certainly hope so. The cynic in me says this is probably a viral for something, but it could just be a thing of genuine lovliness.
The strangely surreal and beautiful world of
Shanabea is certainly a departure from your regular
point'n'click. Nice.
Phew! I'm a little hot under the collar after endulging in some
geek fantasies. I mean look at those tickets! [

Winooz really is a very cute
point'n'click adventure. As far as I could tell you have to gather as many points as possible before you wake up and discover it was all a dream, or maybe that's just what happens when you aren't doing very well...anyway my recommendation for this one is to not be too shy about using the tab key, finding some of the items is very tricky without it. Enjoy.
My Monday has been as grim as Mondays usually are so the weird and disturbing world of
Pu's Tota suits my mood down to the ground. Great animation though.
