2008 or Bust
So my presents are unwrapped and the Christmas tree's been packed away for another 11 months. 2007. Some year for gaming, huh? The games I'd been waiting for did not disappoint. In fact, I just... I hate my wife
No. I really love my wife. But, man... she got me Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed, showed them to me, and said, "Sorry honey, they're going under the tree. You can play them on Christmas."... GH3 Demo Impressions: Dusting off the bullhorns
So I downloaded the 500-ish MB demo from Xbox Live, remembering how much I loved the first one. I won't pretend to be fretboard master by any stretch of the imagination. I just really enjoyed the... Shooter fatigue
I really like shooters. First person, third person, doesn't matter. But honestly, I think I'm suffering from a little shooter burnout. From the Halo 3 multiplayer beta this past summer, the COD4... Halo 3, finito (cue chorus of angels)
So I just finished the Halo3 campaign tonight. I haven't felt this sense of accomplishment in a videogame in a long time. Bioshock was excellent, but was a bit too easy. I felt that Halo 3 really... My first snapshots from Halo 3
Bungie's video clip and snapshot feature is really fantastic. Once I put them in what's called File Share, I was able to see them on the website and download them. Here's one cropped and... Halo3/Red vs Blue easter egg
I noticed this in the 2nd level running to the hangar. One guy was standing at a closed door trying to get the guy on the other side to open the door. Hilarity ensues. It's the Red vs Blue guys... I'm gettin' too old for this ****
Sgt Roger Murtaugh never spoke truer words. You kids, look it up. I came to this realization after contemplating going to the midnight launch of Halo 3. Yeah, midnight... Your Halo 3 multiplayer stats on Bungie.net
What I really liked about Battlefield 2 Modern Combat was the stats EA gathered and displayed on their site for you. The only downside... and a pretty big one... was that the EA site was too... Halo 3 first impressions...SPOILER FREE
Through some wierd stroke of luck, I got the chance to play Halo 3 today. I've only played the first level or so, but it should give you some indication on how the game is shaping up. It picks... Spoilers... WTF
I'm sure you've seen at least the reports of people that have played Halo 3 early. And I'm sure you've seen that some of these people have posted the game's story, including critical plot points.... Sales vs Games: part 2 - resolution
It just doesn't stop. Fanboys, when faced with trying to one-up competing fanboys, turn to game scores. When game scores don't fullfil their fanboy rantings, they turn to.... wait for it... wait... 1, 2, 3, 4 - I declare a thumb war

We've all been through it at some point with any online FPS. Buy a game maybe a month after release, log in, start a multiplayer session... 3... 2.... 1... run a few steps and BLAM! Dead already.... Bioshock: and they lived happily ever after
So I just finished Bioshock with the good ending. I haven't been this satisfied with finishing a game since KOTOR. The boss battle was pretty easy. But, the ending cutscene was very touching and... Bioshock - I feel used, but in a good way
So I'm past THE major plot point in Bioshock. I came away stunned and amazed. Not that is was a monumental surprise of KOTOR proportions. But it was so well-written, I sat up in bed a bit to... Sales vs Games
There's been lots of talk about the "success" of the Wii since it recently surpassed the Xbox 360 in global sales. Of course, the Nintendo fanboys are going to dance for joy. But what does it... Big Hair and "Gag me with a spoon"-like: Rock On!
I have to admit, if it wasn't for my wife, I wouldn't have my 360. In fact, she bought me all my consoles last gen (which I still have),as well as my 360 and Wii. In the spirit of feeding my... Bloggerific
So I just posted my first blog entry even though I've been on these forums for years. Heck, I just updated my owned games after not having touched it since 2005. So here goes... I'll be using... Bioshock-ed
I picked up Bioshock Wednesday night and popped it in. The opening scene reminded me of Breakdown or the tram sequences in Half Life. Of course, the graphics were as gorgeous as the demo on Xbox...
