Retro Game of the Week - 12/09/2018
RETRO GAME OF THE WEEK - 12/08/2018
SPYRO THE DRAGON
This week's Retro Game is Spyro the Dragon.
Released on the 10th September 1998 (yes 20 years ago!) on the PlayStation. The game featured a purple dragon called Spyro who had to go and rescue his friends who had been frozen in time by the evil Gnorc.
There is also a dragonfly who also helps Spyro called Sparx. He is cute. Spyro has always been one of my favourite characters since playing the game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He was one of the figurines that came with the game.
That sums up this week's retro game of the week. Hope you all enjoyed it!
So until next time,
Peace Out - Geekette

Game of the Week - 09/09/2018
GAME OF THE WEEK 09/09/2018
LEGO HARRY POTTER YEARS 1-4
This week's game of the week is Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4.
A game that truly represented my childhood (sort of). Released in 2011, Lego HP was a game for all HP fans, including myself. I use to have the game on DS many years ago when it was first released, but now own it on my Xbox 360. It was also released on the Wii (I think I have that copy lying around somewhere), PS3, iOS, Android, PSP, Mac OS X and Windows. A revamped version of the game was released on PS4 called Lego Harry Potter: The Collection. It is soon coming to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
The aim of this game is like any other Lego game. You run around shooting bad guys and collecting the studs. What's not to like? The only difference is that in this game you attend classes like Charms and Potions, and you earn new spells and other abilities that can be used against the bad guys.
My favourite part of this game is that the cutscenes are still priceless. I know majority of people do not like the classic Lego cutscenes with no talking in as they are annoying, but for myself, as long as I could remember, I played the Lego games with no talking in the cutscenes. This is why I always have and will find them funny.
That's it for this week's game of the week and thanks for reading.

Retro Game of the Week - 09/09/2018
RETRO GAME OF THE WEEK - 09/09/2018
STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC
This week's retro game goes to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
This game was released in 2003 for the Xbox, but has recently became available for backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It was also released on Windows, Android, Mac OS X and iOS.
The game itself is set 3,000 years before A New Hope and is a RPG game. You can customise your character to suit your needs. I have recently started to play this game myself and I have chosen to be a Female Soldier. You start off on a Republic Ship which has been taken over by the Sith. There your actions and choices affect whether you are on the light side or on the dark side.
Another fun bit about the game is that you can choose attributes to suit your needs. My attributes are computer use, demolitions and stealth.

Game Soundtrack of the Week - 30/08/2018
GAME SOUNDTRACK OF THE WEEK - 30/08/2018
MEDAL OF HONOR GAME SOUNDTRACK
You join me today with the next installment of Game Soundtrack of the week. This week's Game Soundtrack is Medal of Honor.
The game itself is a first-person shooter set during WW2. You play an OSS soldier who is tasked with infiltrating different enemy positions and destroying them. It is mainly targeted at the Nazi's (enemy-wise). The game itself was released in 1999 in the EU for the PlayStation.
The soundtrack was composed by Michael Giacchino, who recently composed the Rogue One soundtrack. The soundtrack is composed of 20 tracks which can be heard throughout the game. My favourite track is 'Rescuing the G3 officer'. This is because it was my favourite level of the game.
You can have a little listen here: https://youtu.be/C3dYiawUXJA
So that does it for this short but sweet game soundtrack of the week. Join us next time for another Potter walkthrough :).

Game of the Week - 29/08/18
GAME OF THE WEEK - 29/08/2018
STAR WARS: FORCE UNLEASHED
Today brings you the game of the week! This week's game of the week is the game, Star Wars: Force Unleashed.
This game was released in 2008 and it is an action-adventure game. You may be wondering why is this the game of the week and not retro game of the week? Well that is because the game itself was released on Xbox 360, which still has games which are currently being produced.
The plot of the game is that you take on the role of Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice. The main character is usually sent in to undertake missions which have been set by Vader. Vader's only concern is that he has to keep Starkiller a secret from the Emperor. This is because Vader wants Starkiller to help him kill the Emperor.
What I like about this game is that there is an option to choose between the light and dark side right at the end of the game. I like this because it allows you to choose the side that you love the most (the light side will always be my favourite).
That end's today's game of the week. Stay tuned for my next blog post which is most likely going to be Game Soundtrack of the Week.

Retro Game of the Week - 28/08/2018
RETRO GAME OF THE WEEK 28/08/2018
THE SIMPSONS: HIT AND RUN
It's that time of the week when we cover this week's retro game of the week. This week it is the classic The Simpsons: Hit and Run game from 2003.
The game was released on the PlayStation 2, Windows, Xbox and GameCube. The game itself was modelled after the Grand Theft Auto games but it featured the Simpsons family as the playable characters.
The plot to the game was that there were mysterious vans appearing in Springfield and this led to stranger things like Crop circles. The Simpsons became curious, so them and their friend Apu decided to investigate the strange goings on.
In the game itself you can play as Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Apu. These characters all had their own 'episode' so to speak in where they would drive around and complete missions to finish their episode. Not only do you drive around in your car, smashing objects and hitting pedestrians, but you can also walk around and explore Springfield.
You can earn coins and spend them on clothes for the character or on new cars. One of the cars that you can purchase is Homer's Plow King truck.
Personally, I love this game as it has some of the best quotes such as 'I am Evil Homer' or 'I have no insurance!' I give this game a 5 out of 5 as it is one of the classics that everyone played as a kid.
That does it for this week's retro game of the week. Stay tuned for the next blog post.
