One quest completed, another begun
I have graduated from college with a bs in poli sci. Pray for mojo.
I watched Silent Hill last night, and I must say that it is the best game to movie translation ever, as well as a hell of a horror movie. I'm so impressed with the translation of this I'd like to...
It's not really surprising to me that people tend to seek out games that parallel their real life tastes. Jocks like sports games, car enthusiasts like racing, etc. What shocked me was how this...
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6147678.html Why oh why can't the GTA obsessed killers get the right person? Christ, this guy is a putz.
My birthday was on the sixth, and my parents were kind enough to shower me with cool gifts, among which were a PSP and 4 games (Wipeout, Siphon Filter, Winning Eleven 9, and Lumines). All of...
I've never been particularly pleased with internet explorer, I've always had the occasional problem that irritates me, but firefox was even worse; constant crashes, pages not loading, irritating...

No, I'm not going to suggest anything along the lines of Jonathon Swift's satirical work, and I know none of you know who he is, but in the interest of keeping shallow garbage away from gaming...
While my addiction to City of Villains was as powerful as an Assault Bot, it eventually was brought down by the lack end game content, a seemingly disinterested leadership for the Supergroup I...

The intent of this blog is to advocate policy change in the gaming industry, no matter how futile this may be. However, I'd like to take a minute to introduce a little mmorpg that truly is a gem....
The entire basis of the console wars lies solely on the subjective argument that "x is better than y for z reason(s)". The argument is generally heated, with clichéd arguments about how y only...
I've always been attracted to innovation in all its incarnations. The DS, for example, doesn't have a particularly amazing selection of titles, as noteworthy as they are. It's the touch screen...
It's certainly easy to measure the popularity of multiplayer gaming, and measure the decreasing trend in single player games. One of the most popular games today, World Of Warcraft, is massively...
I picked up Mario Kart this weekend after I finished all my life related business, as I was sure it would suck up my free time, along with City of Heroes. It turns out I am the chosen one, as my...
I've played many MMORPGS in my time. I tried the first Everquest as well as the second, World of Warcraft and City of Heroes more recently, Final Fantasy 11, Anarchy Online, and many others from...
I've finally managed to procure a Nintendo DS, which I'm very pleased with overall. The technology is well implemented, I've had no problems with the touch screen. So far I've purchased the...
