Thoughts on the Importance of Demos

Game demos aren’t generally something I’ve put much thought into. I’ve tried a game demo on occasion, but when I’ve been excited about a game, I generally haven’t made it a point to try out the demo before playing the game. I generally rely on online reviews, friends’ opinions, and metacritic scores. But as I’ve […]

Keepers: Brain Age 2

Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge […]

2009 – The Year in Review

Now that the end is in sight in terms of 2009’s video games, I thought I’d look back at all the games I played this year. I’ll definitely be playing Scribblenauts, Dragon Age: Origins, and Borderlands before the year’s over, and I may also be playing Uncharted 2 or Brutal Legend. But they’re all games that I’ll […]

Raptr Rising

Their new desktop client, combined with their new gamercards and their use of Sony’s new PS3 API brings Raptr from a neat curiosity to a seriously useful application.
