Ever find that one of your DS triggers is refusing to work? It's happened on two of mine so far, and I was about my black lite in until I read a helpful post by SonOftheSky05 , who, astoundingly,...
Finally! Well. It's taken four months of on and off playing, but at last the dawn rises and the sunlight glints (with radiance) off of my shiney new Katana. That's 1,000 hard-earned...
I read an article today by the BBC. Six people today have been killed by a US airstrike nearby the Iraqi town of Samar ra. Several witnesses, including the local police, state that the dead...
The idea of non-linear gameplay is not actually a "new" idea - MYST in 1991 offered choice to the player in allowing him or her to choose the order in which the five MYST book-worlds would be...
I'll just let Yahtzee speak for himself . Here he covers the Orange Box. Yours, revelling in lazy half-arsed posting, ~poetsoul
Front Mission actually provides a modicum of complexity and mature themes. So! I purchased myself an Xbox 360 for Christmas, and the only reason that I'm able to write this blog at is...
Interesting. Like most other DS users who have completed puberty, I spend much of my time on the net looking for a grim, or at least, un-Chibli-esque, adventure title. In the forum...
Behold! For mine roommate has experienced a revelation! In sooth he has converted, and joined the masses of the 9-11 conspiracy theorists. All of ye art fools, to hold such faith in the world that...
After listening to the recent HotSpot podcast, I believe the guys when they say that the Gerstmann firing was not "just Kane and Lynch." They sound so genuinely remorseful about the questioning of...

Venting my frustration. I've been at the Tarzan vine section for two hours. And haven't managed to get past the first cutscene with Kerchek. God Damn (that isn't a swear, it's an instruction)...
I got up today and went out to buy the DS lite. You all have seen the specs so I doubt I need to go into detail about the differences, but I've seen a few You-Tube videos floating around which...
Odd. I spend a month going from level one to five, and in the space of a single day, I make a quantum leap from five (96%) to six (99%). Maybe I've reached the Gamespot event horizon and am...

I suppose it was too much to hope that Brett Ratner could seemlessly produce an X-men film of Brian Singer calibur. X-men III was Rush Hour 2 with mutants... a decent film in its own right, but...
A players level of satisfaction with a video game is affected by many factors, such as story, graphics and control scheme. For me, paramount to the other factors is the element of mood. Without...
