Fable 2 and Gender Empathy Part 2

Sorry for the continued pieces on Fable 2 but it’s all I’ve been playing outside of Puzzle Quest: Galactrix.  For the record, I’m a woman in PQ as well, however it has no bearing on the story.  The woman in the picture is just pretty to look at.  I’m also a unicorn at times in […]

Free Game Friday: Super Jail Escaper

Super Jail Escaper was programmed for a competition. The goal was to make a game in under an hour. This one took 45 minutes. As simple as it is, it’s fun, and the music is really pretty good. Give it a shot – You don’t even need to install anything. My best score was 186 […]

Keepers: Mechwarrior Compilation

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 […]

Starcraft II Battle Report

I’m looking forward to the release of Starcraft 2 quite a lot. Blizzard just released a new “Battle Report” showing a multiplayer game between two Blizaard employees, and it’s one of the best Starcraft battles I’ve ever seen. Take a look – very entertaining.

Monday News: A New Fallout, and a the DSi

A couple things I felt obligated to post about on this Monday afternoon. Firstly, in London today, at “Bethesda Gamer Day”, Bethesda announced a new Fallout game. This isn’t downloadable content for Fallout 3, or even a sequel. This is a different game. Part of me is hoping madly for a non-FPS title, but nothing […]

Braid Hints: World 3

This is the second part of my series of Braid hints. It’s not a walkthrough, because simply giving the puzzles’ answers would ruin the game. But I got so frustrated at the game that I gave in to temptation and looked online to find answers to a puzzle in both world 2 and world 3, […]

Fable 2 and Gender Empathy

For some reason I usually play as women when playing RPG’s.  Maybe it’s because I’m a man in real life, so playing as a woman represents a new experience.  Maybe it’s because if I’m going to be staring at someone’s ass for 40 hours, I’d prefer it to be a female one.  I truly have […]

Free Game Friday: Legends of Zork

Only give this one a shot if you’ve got a lot of free time. This is a full-fledged RPG in a browser. Sure, it’s simplistic, basically a reimagining of the old text games, but they’ve been pretty thorough. It’s got the same tongue-in-cheek feel as the Penny Arcade game, only without the rated-M humor. Play […]

Wii MotionPlus

Nintendo has announced the date and price of its new MotionPlus controller. On June 8th, you’ll be able to get your hot little hands on the wiimote add-on, which clips to the bottom of your existing controller and provides a “dual-axis tuning fork angular rate sensor”, which apparently adds to the motion-sensing goodness by determining […]
