Assteroidz is a strange but playable Asteroids clone that tries to turn the weirdness up to 11 by reskinning the original game with a Van Halen theme.  It seems a little more challenging after a few levels than the original Asteroids.  Being a not-so-serious game, it’s perfect to fill a few moments of free time […]

I really need to stop titling posts “Thoughts on..” All I apparently do is think meanderingly about games. I just tried out the Playstation 3 demo for Resident Evil 5, and in many ways, it’s a little disappointing. Granted, it’s a lot like Resident Evil 4, which I loved, but it seems to be lacking […]

Although I never played any of the Monkey Island games myself, I was a big fan of a few other classic LucasArts adventures: Maniac Mansion and Labyrinth mostly. Still, I know many folks who’ve loved the Monkey Island games, and I hope this poor attempt at a wallpaper serves them. Download Monkey Island Wallpaper (1024×768) […]

Just a quick note about how I (finally) got my mouse 4 and mouse 5 buttons to work the way I wanted in Thief: Deadly Shadows. I also managed to get the left/right rocker action of the scroll wheel to page back and forth through my items while the scroll wheel itself scrolls through weapons. […]

A couple nights ago, I decided to reinstall Thief 3: Deadly Shadows and give it another spin. The only catch: I’m running Windows Vista, and old games can be very iffy on this OS. My problem was that after installing, any time I tried to run the game, I got the following error: (Microsoft Visual […]

I’m replaying Beyond Good & Evil for the (don’t laugh at me) fifth time with Brainy Gamer‘s Vintage Game Club. It’s true – I’ve played the game four times before, and purchased four copies of the game over the years. But about a year ago, when I made a list of my favorite 51 games […]

This is the best thing I’ve seen on YouTube in a long time. Being a huge fan of Half-Life, seeing a really well-produced fanfilm made in that universe makes me giggle like a little girl. Look at the Combine Airship! From what I’ve heard, the Purchase brothers made this film on a $500 budget, which […]

Yeah, it’s a blatant Zelda knockoff, but it’s a neat little game, designed by some guy at home. Instead of pixels, he used love. The game rearranged the icons on my Vista machine’s desktop, but I expect that’s because I’ve got a dual-monitor setup. Maybe it’s just because today is Friday the 13th. Who knows? […]
