After having actually managed to download Braid, I’m really enjoying it. But when I got really stuck on one of the puzzles in world 2 and looked up an online walkthrough, I found that the official Braid guide says Some of the puzzles will be hard. But when you manage to solve those hard puzzles, […]

Braid for PC ostensibly releases today. I say ostensibly because earlier today, I logged onto the game’s Steam page, and it said “This game will unlock in approximately 2 hours”. Fine. Good. I logged on a bit later and saw that it said one hour. When it was supposed to release, the message disappeared, but […]

This week, for Free Game Friday, I’m not bringing to you just any old game. I didn’t have huge expectations for Tag: The Power of Paint, but it absolutely blew me away. The game feels a lot like Portal, in that you’re using an odd gun, in this case a paint gun, to navigate an […]

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 […]

It’s a sad truth that I’ve been let down by a great number of games recently. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I’m having more fun with Final Fantasy XII and Thief: Deadly Shadows now than I have with most of the newer games I’ve tried. I haven’t gotten very far into Far Cry […]

A lovingly-crafted parody of Oregon Trail, themed to Fallout Boy. There are some nice attempts at Guitar Hero like play, and some really poor attempts at shooter mechanics, but the game sure is funny. I died on the side of the road after my van was capsized by surf zombies. My chicken nuggets sank and […]

The DSi launches on Sunday and I am giddy with excitement. When the DSi was first announced, I was pretty ho-hum about it.  At the same time, I knew I would buy one as the need to purchase new Nintendo hardware is coded into my very genetic code.  I was ho-hum about the original DS, […]

Note: I’m aware that this stuff stays on the internet forever, and so I’ll change the subject and preface the original content with the note that this was an April Fools gag. Just yesterday, Bioware announced that it’s working on a sequel to the 1999 RPG Planescape: Torment. After what happened with The Nameless One […]

There are a number of already-released games I’m dying to play and just haven’t had the time to get around to. Resident Evil 5, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, and Far Cry 2 are amongst them. Likewise, games like Street Fighter 4 and Braid have been out for a while, but only on consoles. I’m awaiting the […]
