SOUL CALIBUR 2 SCREENSHOTS

Hi! Voldo here – burrrrzzzzhisssss! Opps, sorry about that but ever since my master created me I’ve been sadly unequipped for talking and can make only frankly bizarre whooshing and heavy breathing sounds.

Oh and the odd weird vibrating noise which although I’ve never been to keen on, the master seemed to love – god rest his soul.

Yes my master is no more, the great man (who always rather reminded me of the late great rock star Freddie Mercury) who left me in the little white box with nothing but my Queen poster for company for Sega, sorry I mean ages, has called to me from beyond the grave and has sent me to a new home, in fact 3 new homes – Voldo feels loved!

The first of my new homes is a strange tower like block with flashing lights which at first I found a bit different, but my fears were soon allayed when I saw that all the old gang are here!

Yes me, Ivy, Nightmare and the rest are free to wrestle away to out hearts content, but still with all our clothes on – humph! Everything looks pretty much the same but it’s just that little bit better and brighter and I have a new gimp suit – buzzzzzz!

Soul Calibur 2 does the job if you're after a fight!

Over in the big black box things look even better still (slightly) but this vast new domain is home to a rather frightful chap who wears black from head to toe and ponces around in a cape!

A Cape – I ask you, some people just try too hard. But of all the new homes the purple box is my favourite. Things look slightly better here than they do in the tower and not quite as good as the black box but it’s the shiniest one of the three and it was here that Voldo found true love.

It all started when I heard a strange childlike voice say the sweetest thing; "Oh scissors hands – fancy blowing my Ocarina!" I stared at the sunkissed blond hair of the Elf beauty and replied; "shut it pixie boy or I’ll kick you (Ze)he(lda) outta here!"

At least that’s what I would have said if I had the ability to talk, which I don’t, but I think he got the point as he wasted no time in throwing a butterfly net over me (oh he’s so elegant!) and at the risk of sounding cheesy I’ve been caught ever since.

In fact my new master has been most helpful in the writing of my memoirs. It’s not easy typing when you’ve got knives for fingers you know! Or using electrical equipment in general – shocking! Until next time – whoooossssssssh!

8/10
