Have you heard of Torchlight? It’s a really cool-looking Diablo-like beat-em-up RPG available tomorrow on Steam for $20. It’s got three classes, pets, random levels, and a level editor. Very nice.

Final Fantasy XII is only the second game in the series I’ve ever completed. And it took me forever to play all the way through. I mean, seriously, I think it took me over two years. I put the game aside for 4-6 months at a time more than once while I was playing through […]

After much anticipation, the free promotional game for Dragon Age is out and playable. You can sign into EA’s servers while playing and unlock various items which you can then use in Dragon Age: Origins. There are also five achievements.

Lots of people have apparently been familiar with Alice and Kev for some time now, but I just found out. And I read the entire story in one day. It’s really super-interesting.

Blizzard has released another one. Watching these, I can totally see how Starcraft is a spectator sport in Korea.

I’m kind of half and half on my response here as I don’t completely agree with Greg on the “overrated” status of the games he mentions, but with the exception of KOTOR, I ain’t exactly in love with ’em either, just for different reasons. Now, when it comes to Knights of the Old Republic, I […]

I’m going to piss off a lot of people now by talking about how I think some of the best-loved games in the past few years weren’t actually that good. Much of this might have to do with my personal opinion of Bioware’s game engines, since two of my three example games here are from […]
