Towards the end of last week, I got restless with the games I had to play. Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins were still a couple weeks from release, and although I still had Final Fantasy XII to finish, I really just felt like playing something else. I played halfway through Half-Life 2 episode 2, I […]

There’s a new trailer out of Dragon Age Journeys, a browser-based tactical RPG from Bioware. It’s been created to promote Dragon Age: Origins, which releases in early November. Not bad, as far as browser games go.

World 5, The Shoreline in Scribblenauts is perhaps the most fun I’ve had yet with the game. I got a gold star on nearly every puzzle level. Partially because they were easy, but primarily because the levels were so damn interesting that I kept wanting to go back and complete them in different ways. I’ll […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.
