That's short for situation report, which is what this post is intending to be as it's been over a week since my last post, which is well naughty of me. Where am I right now? Well, smack bang in the middle of a bunch of ideas. I recently bought a capture device for the Xbox - plan is to record…

Galaga Legions DX

By Iain 16 July 2013Reviews, VideogamesNo Comments

The original Galaga is a classic. Sure, it is a spin on Space Invaders, but man, what a spin.

One of Claire’s rabbits died earlier in the week. They had been smelly for the past few weeks now, and when she finally got around to cleaning the hutch out, the poor thing had a huge abscess full of maggots. It was really quite something to behold. She rushed off to the vets with it, only to be told it had to be put down as they had eaten all the way through the rabbit’s abdomen and up to it’s lungs and was pretty much gonna die anyway, whatever they did. So that was exciting.

I sold some stuff on the eBay earlier in the week, so had a bit of cash to spare which I used to get some Microsoft Points. I had it in my head to get 5 Arcade games that were 400 points each, and a new song for Lips. Here’s what I ended up with and what I thought of them:
