Keepers: Psychonauts

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 […]

Comparing Final Fantasy XII to Ultima V

Of all the big holiday game releases this year, four have become standouts to me. I prepurchased Dragon Age: Origins in early 2009, back when I thought the game was going to be released in early 2009. I don’t regret that purchase, because the game looks amazing. Mikeyface‘s hype machine has got me sold on […]

Not So Marvelous Ultimate Alliance 2

As a lover of comic books, the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance was excellent fan service. Not only did it give you a diverse roster of heroes to play with, along with great abilities and unlockable costumes, it also gave you some RPG like attributes where you could level up your character and abilities however you […]

Thoughts on Game Ports and Re-releases

Lots of the games I play are not new. While perhaps not all of them may qualify as truly “retro”, at least half of the games I’m normally playing are more than 2 years old. Porting games to consoles on which they’ve never before appeared or re-releasing older games as downloadable titles is a good […]

Top FPS

This is just funny. I’m not the hugest machinima fan, but this tournament-style competition between eight FPS characters pits them against each other reality-show style. Very funny.

Free Game Friday: Little Wheel

Little Wheel is a point-and-click adventure that’s much more my speed than the others in the genre I’ve played recently.  You can finish the whole game in about 20 minutes, and it’s relatively easy. It’s a really cute and engaging little story. Check it out. Play Little Wheel

Keepers: Freedom Force vs the Third Reich

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 […]

Thoughts on Tweeting Gameplay Information

I’m big on social networking – I like to share my media with anyone who cares to look. On my personal site, I’ve written software to share what book I’m currently reading and what games I’m playing. I even wrote up a php script that parses Netflix’s XML feed to show what movies I currently […]

Scribblenauts Dark and Bright

Scribblenauts gives most people some truly transcendant moments of emergent gameplay – that’s what makes the game so great. This is the bright side of Scribblenauts – when you first realize that an elephant is afraid of a mouse or that a mirror really will cause medusa to turn to stone. But Scribblenauts also has […]
