Pocket Kingdom Review

It’s another review of an N-Gage game, this time for an RPG-ish game called Pocket Kingdom. I think it’s called that because you have a little kingdom that you grow and the N-Gage can be carried around in your pocket, but I’m not exactly sure.

This game is not my cup of tea. (It should be noted that a cup of tea isn’t really my cup of tea, though, either.) I’ve played maybe 6 or 7 RPGs in my gaming life, and three of them were either Star Wars- or superhero-related. These no-name RPGs, if they don’t have a compelling story, just aren’t worth it for me. You spend all your time trying to “level up” your characters, but there’s no real point to it other than being “levelled up.” It seems pointless to me.

At this juncture, many will hop in to say, “All video games are pointless!” Thank you for pointing that out.

Anyway, there’s my review. Read it if you like.

Pathway to Glory Review

It’s my first review of a game for the Nokia N-Gage, a cell-phone/gaming system that does fine on both jobs, but isn’t outstanding at either.

Anyway, the review is here.

Sorry about the lack of updates here lately – I know you’re crushed. It’s the natural ebb and flow of blogging. I’m sure that some day soon I’ll have a flood of posts and you’ll weep from all the reading.

Spy vs. Spy Review

I know this won’t make up for my lack of blogging, but you could also amuse yourself by noting the hot chocolate counter to the right.

I’ve been very busy lately, but I will attempt to get back to regular blogging soon.
