Happy New Year!
Today I’m going to write a little about five 2009 releases that I got to play for a very short amount of time, not really enough for a full review but enough to give some (quick) first impressions about. Also it will help me feel like I made up for lost time.
Dragon Age [...]

Changes…
Things are getting a little crazy lately. Got some major transitions happening in my day job so I’m a little behind. I did manage to play and review another game from the awesome folks at The Game Crafter but I am still polishing that up.
I WAS going to write today about my first impressions of [...]

A friend of mine told me told me via Twitter about this newfangled game called Borderlands that he’d been playing.
He described it as “exactly what I expected from a game billed as first person Diablo. Loot, quests, and co-op play.” And, having grown up with this person and knowing that we grew up with [...]

Well, since I haven’t relented on my WoW hiatus, I decided to download and fire up the shiny new Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited. Allegedly the “unlimited” is to represent how the MMORPG is now free to play for as long as you wish, no purchases required, CD-key or otherwise.
Before playing, I steeled myself [...]

Starcraft II Exclusive

August 21st, 2009

We got our first hands-on experience with Starcraft II Earlier this evening, and it was beautiful. The game looks and feels ready to go.
A nice dude with Q/A named Jon talked with us for a while, but he wasn’t allowed to discuss release specifics with us, but apologized because he would “go on for [...]

It’s been a pretty slow week (unless you’re a celebrity, holy crap. Stop dying. Seriously.) so I thought I’d poke around at a new platform I promised some review action on, the iPhone.
Besides the thing being a bastion of free entertainment, most of the quality games you have to pay for (and usually for good [...]

Nippon Ichi Software has made some fantastic games, the best of which being the Disgaea series. When I heard they were making an action-platformer, starring the lovable Prinnies nonetheless, I was officially stoked.
I finally got around to playing “Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?” for the PSP last week, in between playing Final Fantasy [...]

Hello everyone, I’m back in town from my trip and it’s time to get back into the swing of things.
I’m sure everyone has been digesting and subsequently pants-shitting over all of the superb E3 announcements recently. I’ve taken a look at what the expo had to offer myself, and I must say I am pretty [...]

I hope you’re all enjoying your E3 coverage, which can be found, well, everywhere. I’m not there, so I am going to talk about something different for now! (Yes, I am posting a lot! I will be out of state for five days starting friday so I’m getting lots of stuff out of the way [...]

This weekend, I decided to take a trip over to Kongregate to see what’s new, and I found something quite alluring.
There is a new game called Hero’s Arms. Labelled as a Zelda-like adventure game, this game delivers and far exceeded my expectations.
The game is a top-down RPG like the original Legend of Zelda, but [...]
