Well, it happened. I fell off the wagon, thanks to my wife and her coworkers dragging me back kicking and screaming I’m back on World of Warcraft. The last time I played was in 2010 before we had our son Ethan. He’s almost 3 now and for some reason we thought it would be a [...]

Final Fantasy Dimensions challenged the way I thought about mobile device purchases, and it did so before I even made the purchase. Even to the point where I might consider it a moral dilemma. Let me explain: Final Fantasy Dimensions launched initially for iOS; the prologue chapter (about 1-2 hours of gameplay) was free, but [...]

Long-time readers will know that I have spoken well of Borderlands the first. Twice, in fact. And looking back, it makes me wonder why I hesitated to try the sequel. In hindsight, after I wrote those review and kept playing Borderlands 1, and kept playing it like crazy, I discovered some of the weaker points [...]

I don’t know why I completely failed to mention the first game, because it was absolutely amazing in every way, but Orcs Must Die! 2 is even better. If I had to classify what kind of game OMD is, it would be best described as a “Tower Defense” game, but that would still be something [...]

Take one part 80′s era NES, one part MMORPG, one part Flash, put it in a blender with a brick of crack, and you get Realm of the Mad God. RotMG is a web-based free to play MMORPG that I can best liken to a graphical MUD. It has all the essential components that make [...]

As most of you already know, I’m having something of an affair with deck building games at the moment…and have been for the past couple of years. Penny Arcade The Game – Gamers vs Evil takes the best aspects of Dominion and Ascension and creates something light-hearted, and ridiculously easy to play. You have a pool [...]

Every time I wind up shopping at GameStop for whatever reason, I typically end up vowing never to return. Then someone will get me a giftcard or something for my Birthday, and I’ll wander back in to see what I can get without giving them any more of my money. I’ve felt this way for [...]

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, or Festivus, or whatever you chose to celebrate. It’s been long enough, and the suspense I’m sure has been unbearable (because my opinion matters to everyone.
