Happy trails...
...to you, until we meet again (and I'm sure we will). Just a quick note to say this Friday will be my last day at GameSpot. I hate long goodbyes, so this will be quick. Believe it or not,... Holiday Gaming 2007
Because I haven't posted anything on here in far too long, I thought I'd talk about the gaming I did during the two-week span I was chilling (figuratively) in North Carolina over the break. There... Lofty Ambitions
When the hell did Gameloft become a console game developer, and a good one? Between the way-more-than-competent Prince of Persia remake on Xbox Live Arcade, and now this amazing-looking Brothers... The Comeback Kid
I don't enjoy watching the console makers hit hard times, or take any pleasure when they err. I was saddened by the GameCube's relatively poor third-party support and lack of games... Happy Thanksgiving
Hope everyone at home and abroad has a nice Thanksgiving today. Make sure you tell your loved ones how much you appreciate them while you've got the chance. Not to sound too much like your mom,... Shooter Update: Prey Finished, FEAR Approaching...
I powered through the second half of Prey (the half I hadn't played prior to release) in a day or two about a week ago, and I found it to be...good, if not wildly original. Nothing wrong with it... Shooter Summer Update: Butcher Bay Done, Prey Up Next
Finally finished Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay last weekend after an unavoidable hiatus. It was easily one of the best games I've ever played. They transitioned from one kind of gameplay to... Summer of Shooters
After limping along with an underperforming Frankenstein's monster of a PC pretty much ever since I moved to California over three years ago, I made a considerable investment of blood, sweat, and... In the Next Installment...
Because I said I would, I'll comment on HL2 Episode One, if anyone still cares. It's cheap and short, but utterly dense with satisfying gameplay. I'd almost refer to it not as a first-person... Lite of My Life
DS Lite secured. And what a lovely little piece of personal electronics this thing is! After owning three Game Boy Advances (not bitter, honest) and being initially sort of uninterested in the... From the Ooze...
At this moment there sits beneath my desk a large box full of computer parts. A CPU, a motherboard, two hard drives. A case. Some other things. The primordial soup whence will spring a fully... Late to the Party
Finished Resident Evil 4 over the weekend. Yes, finally. Yes, I'm that behind. Holy shazbot. I mean, I knew it was a good game. I'd already played enough of it by early December to help... Leaving on a jet plane...
...in an hour, to Las Vegas, to cover CES. Early indications are there won't be a whole lot of new information surfacing on the things everybody really cares about -- those being the new... Rock out with your...
...wallet out! Guitar Hero should finally be in stores everywhere today--although Ryan and I have been playing it for a week courtesy of Best Buy--so like, go buy it and stuff. Buy two. Buy... New Faces
This entry should serve as a nice counterpoint to my last one, which was written what must have been years ago. I went into 2005 feeling like I'd be spending the next 12 months playing nothing... Hyped Game 2: The Rehash
The following scenario has occurred more than once over the last several weeks of my game-reviewing career: I'm playing whatever game I'm reviewing at the moment. A coworker comes up to my desk... My Dinner With Reggie
Yeah, so I didn't actually have dinner with Reggie. Bite me. What I did have last week was an opportunity to fiddle around with the hotly anticipated and almost-buyable Nintendo DS (which, I'm... Held in Hand
That PSP is something else. I think those Sony kids might finally be going somewhere with this one. By now, I'm sure any number of post-TGS impressions stories have made it clear that the PSP... Hour 46
It's 11:30 pm in Tokyo. It's 7:30 am in my head. Some thoughts: -Simon and Garfunkel muzak is a popular choice in the hotel hallways of Japan. -McDonald's has proven the rabbit to be an...
