Woo-hoo! I've been to Game and bought the extremely crappy
Paradise Cracked.
Gamespot review here.
What the hey, it's got to be worth 50 pence, even if only in hollow-laugh value.
At the same time I also picked up
Sim City 4 (deluxe edition that lets you drive around the city) and
UFO Trilogy from the "2 for £15" shelf. Both look very promising. I've owned Sim City 2000 for some years now but never figured out how to work it.
Colin was reading the back of the Paradise Cracked case and noticed that it boasts "RPG flavour". Which to him meant it tastes like rocket-propelled grenades.
