LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

January 31, 2023February 1, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

If there’s two things that is probably abundantly clear by now that I adore (if not, they ought to be, after 6 years of this waffling), it’s LEGO and Star Wars. Like many kids I played extensively with Denmark’s greatest gift to the world, endlessly building humongous mish-mashed creations from whatever sets I had lying … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

June 28, 2022June 28, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 7 Comments

If you grew up on the Internet during the early-to-mid aughts, you almost certainly remember escape-the-room games. These were an absolute staple of early Flash gaming, with titles like The Mystery of Time and Space, Don’t Escape, and (perhaps the one most deeply resonant for me, with its screens well and truly burned into my … Continue reading Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

Pokemon Black / White

April 26, 2021May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

After the lack of interest I had in Pokemon Platinum, I can remember wondering if I’d simply reached the end of my time with the long-running franchise which I had followed since childhood. I passed the success of HeartGold / SoulSilver off as largely down to nostalgia, ready to accept that the next generation of … Continue reading Pokemon Black / White

Kingdom Hearts re:Coded

January 4, 2021December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 2 Comments

Even for fans of the franchise, Kingdom Hearts Coded may not be a game you are familiar with. It’s probably because it saw quite a niche release, as a Japan-only episodic mobile phone game. Released 2 to 3 years after coded, this version of the game is, like re:Chain of Memories, a full remake. This … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts re:Coded

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

June 22, 2020December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

The gap between Kingdom Hearts II and III was spectacularly long. To tide us over in that interminable wait, Square-Enix decided to release a plethora of interquels, prequels, and semi-sequel things, in turn creating a vast and labyrinthine miasma of plot. 4 years after Kingdom Hearts II this process began with the awfully-titled 358/2 Days … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver

May 25, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 1 Comment

Diamond / Pearl / Platinum might have arrived at a time where I wasn’t as invested in Pokemon, but that phase was never going to last. The hints had been dropping that remakes of Gold / Silver / Crystal were forthcoming and when they did arrive I won’t even deny I was ridiculously hyped. But … Continue reading Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver

Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum

April 6, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ 4 Comments

I can still remember getting Pokemon Platinum for the first time. In my mid-teens, I’d grown up with the franchise; it had felt inevitable to me that I would play it. I completely missed the first pair of games in this generation, Diamond and Pearl, so I’d been hankering to catch up to what my … Continue reading Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

February 9, 2020May 17, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

We all know what LEGO is, yeah? Of course we do; the tiny plastic blocks you can slap together and build anything you want are ubiquitous and it’s no surprise at all that they’ve made their way into the land of video games. In fact, it’s almost certainly cheaper to play the LEGO games than … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
