The Aisle is a very different type of game. It’s a text adventure, but the entire game consists of a single decision, and thus takes less than a minute to play. You’re in a supermarket looking at pasta. What will you do? Pick up the pasta? Move away? Eat the pasta raw? Sexually assault other […]

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 […]

I’d never before played an import game. This whole thing was really kind of an accident. Wait – I’m not making any sense. Lemme ‘splain. No, there is too much. Lemme sum up. I’d been wanting to play Prototype for a while, and when I found a copy the PC version on EBay for $20 whereas it’s […]

I’ve been trying to limit my posts about Street Fighter to one per week, but I’ve been playing the crap out of the game, so it occupies a good bit of the video game namespace in my mind. And although I’ve been having a lot of fun with it, I do have some complaints I […]

Video game documentaries aren’t very common. Many people are aware of King of Kong, but how many people can name even one other? Enter Tetris: From Russia with Love, a documentary about Alexi Pajitnov and his creation of the classic game Tetris. You probably know that the game was created by a Russian in the days […]

I’ve been a big fan of Desktop Tower Defense for years – I even bought the DS version, which is great. But it wasn’t until recently that the “pro” version came out online. It’s free, and there are tons of scenarios and levels to play out. Desktop Tower Defense is inarguably amongst the best of […]

While I didn’t love The Witcher, it did have some fairly decent music. Probably the main reason I didn’t like the game is because it uses the same engine as the original Neverwinter Nights – the engine was my main complaint about NWN too. Complaints aside, I hope you enjoy listening to the music from […]

It’s been a couple weeks since I finished playing Ghostbusters, and I figure that if I don’t write down my thoughts on it now, I’ll probably forget entirely. My take on the game is some good, some bad, like most games. What the game really nails is the feel of the original Ghostbusters movie. When […]

As I may have mentioned, I’ve been playing a good bit of Street Fighter 4 of late. I’ve always enjoyed switching up characters, and always held a disdain for those who refuse to play any character other than Ken, Ryu, or maybe Akuma. Guile is arguably my best character, but I’ve always loved playing the […]
