My Blog Posts
Everyone's a critic, even that sweaty guy behind the counter.
I went to a local GameStop yesterday with the intent on buying a used media remote for my 360. I looked around for it and noticed they kept the used remotes behind the counter, so I walked towards...
I’m on vacation in Charleston, South Carolina. Since my wife and I decided to take an extended break (more than a week), I thought I’d bring my 360 with me. At home, I play on a 27-inch high-def...
When I was kid, every Friday, my brothers and I would hop on our bikes and ride down the street to the local Blockbuster. For $4.26, we could rent a Nintendo, Genesis or SNES game for three...
That's right, I'm in love. Three weeks ago I bought Soviet Kitsch , Regina Spektor's third (or fourth) album, and today, finally got Begin to Hope . Never have my ears known such joy. Regina's...
Last night I caught the end of the Avatar season finale. Over the past year or so, I've seen a handful of episodes and I've enjoyed them. The animation is high quality, there's a definite anime...
I was cruising the boards the other night and found a topic about filters in Gears of War, apparently you can turn down the gore. For me this is good news, I don't mind the chainsaw to the face,...
I hate office politics. Unfortunately, I like office advancement, and those things don't go hand in hand. The higher up your are, the more you have to deal with it, so it's always a win/lose...
No, it isn't Super Smash Bros., though that would be cool. What I'd like to see on the DS aren't old N64 ports, but PC ports. The unique control of the DS makes it possible to port some great mouse...
As a life long 007 fan I was excited to hear about the Bond revamp in Casino Royale. After seeing it last night, I have to say it is hands down the best Bond movie I have ever seen. In the same...
I've written numerous times on my distaste for the thug themes of open world games, so of course I was excited to download the Superman Returns demo. Overall I have to say I'm a little...
Today starts a new monthly blog feature, the Brutality Break . Studies have shown that video game violence can have an adverse effect on players. Though it might not be true for everyone, you...
What do these men have in common? Yes, they are all created by Square, and yes, they do have spiky hair, and true, they do look like pansies, but that is merely coincidence. These three men...
I downloaded the Sonic demo yesterday, and within one minute, I died twice at the hands of the terrible controls. When I finally did get through the short demo, I felt the same way about Sonic as I...
Uwe Boll wins; movies still lose. How embarassing. As a writer, editor, critic, and a sane human being, I am shamed by this debacle. How can he continue to make movies? Where are the people that...
So I've had my 360 for two weeks now and I've already played almost all the demos. Before work in the morning I'd que up three or four games and when I got home I'd turn my system on and they'd be...
After months of saving I've finally made the leap to the next generation. I got a 360 on Friday, along with GRAW and Fight Night Round 3. I also got connected to Live, and got pwned by some...
Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter Crikey, you will be missed.
So Saint's Row just came out, and to my disapointment, it got a good review. I can't help it, I wanted the game to fail miserably, I wanted it to be another 25 to Life. I admit, I loved GTA III, it...
I'm going to be honest, I've never felt comfortable around Zangief. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's his homo-erotic sway, or his tiny red underwear, I don't know, he just seems so grabby. Look...
So the second issue of TC went to press yesterday, which means I can relax over the weekend before tackling issue three. Each installment is bigger and better than the last so our goal for the...
