I just finished a video walkthrough for the 2001 GBA version of Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion. It's just like the PC version with toned-down graphics, as little animation as possible, and almost no voice acting besides a three second sound clip.
If Nancy Drew isn't your cup of tea, you might want to check out my Phoenix Wright walkthrough page on IGN FAQs. It's pretty fancy-looking, and provides easy access to all the videos at once. However, if you're looking for the full-sized videos, the GameCola YouTube page is still the only place where you can find them.
Both of you who read the "What Games Are Coming Out This Week" posts on this blog will have noticed that Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy came out on Tuesday of last week.
Well, after a lot of work, I have now finished my video walkthrough for that game. All those who are interested, feel free to check it out.
The plot of this game bears an odd resemblance to Drama Queens for the DS at some points. One girl steals another girl's boyfriend, there is BFF drama, and the final puzzle of the game is based off Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum. That happened in Drama Queens, right?
Good news! I have finally finished my video walkthrough for Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Six hours long, containing solutions to all 135 puzzles in the game.
That was way more work than I expected.
News! My walkthrough for Mega Man: Dr. Wily\'s Revenge is officially completed. This comes about one month after my video walkthrough for the same game. Yes, it took me a month to type up a walkthrough when I had video footage showing what to do. I am apparently very lazy.
In other walkthrough news, I think I might try making a walkthrough/guide for Treasure Mathstorm! or another Learning Company game (provided I can find a copy). Maybe I\'ll do The Oregon Trail, just for the heck of it. I\'m not sure.
I've just finished making a video walkthrough for Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy, a game where Nancy goes to Ireland and solves a mystery. Along the way, she does a bunch of stuff like shear sheep, mix drinks, play a drum version of Guitar Hero, and use a jetpack to help find a crazy bum who lives in the middle of a bog.
Now all I have to do is use the videos to write a text walkthrough, and submit that to GameFAQS. But nobody tell Paul, all right? Otherwise he might not buy my excuse that I can't write a Ten Reasons about the game this month. So don't let him know I've got access to all the game's screenshots and that I have the game fresh in my mind.
