When Michel Ancel announced that he was working on a sequel to what may be my favorite game of all time, I was ecstatic. But upon seeing the hyperrealistic look of the teaser trailer, I became a bit uncertain. This game might have been a better fit for the Wii than for the XBox 360 […]

Hexaggon is a kind of Othello remake. It’s incredibly addictive, and the AI on the computer player is very well done. I’ve been playing this game on Neave for many years, and I’m glad to bring you such a solid recommendation. Play Hexxagon

I happened across this recently: Traditional Christmas music done in the style of old 8-bit video games.

If you’ve never tried Raptr, now may be the time. The site actually seems to be improving. The gamercards I coded for Lungfishopolis are great in that I can add all games I’m playing on any platform, but the drawback is that everything’s manual – I have to add games myself rather than the card […]

At this point of time, I think it’s safe to say that I’m done with Gears of War 2. I’ve fought through the campaign multiple times, finished all 50 levels of Horde mode and ground out every achievement that I can reasonably expect myself to get.  I have no desire to play the game’s multiplayer […]
