I have a lot more to say about the games on today’s list than I have about many others. That’s probably just because I like to complain, and I’ve got a lot to complain about with these three titles.             I got Dead Nation for free as part of PSN’s […]

Part three of my list includes games seven, eight, and nine in my list of the thirty-something games I’ve played in 2011.         The first of these is Bioshock 2. I waited a long time after the game’s release to play it because, honestly, I just wasn’t that excited. In the end, […]

      Lots of good games in 2011, and this portion of the list has some of the best. Picking up where I left off on Monday, Bastion is a game I took no notice of during its previews during Pax East 2011 when I was there, despite my friends’ enthusiasm over the game. […]

The end of the year is approaching, and this year I’ve actually cataloged the names every game I’ve played. By my count, that’s 38 games. Rather than write up one mega-article like I did in 2010, I’m going to split this thing up into a dozen pieces and finish with an article about my favorite games […]

I’m a fan of the Humble Indie bundles. I received the first two as a gift from a friend, and not long ago bought the third for myself. For those of you unfamiliar with the Humble Indie Bundle phenomenon, each is a grouping of games created by small independent developers and sold for a pay-what-you-want […]

This idea has been germinating in my mind since I got my first portable: The DS Lite. When I got my Android phone, I decided to write this article, but never got around to it. Now I have a PSP as well, and I feel like I’ve got a fairly well rounded take on the […]

It used to be that I’d just about never quit a game before I completed it. And while I still derive a sense of satisfaction from seeing the whole game through, I no longer feel an obligation to stick with a game I’m not enjoying just to be able to say that I finished. Penumbra:Overture […]

iPhone games are big business today. It’s all Angry Birds, Words with Friends, and Cut the Rope. But I’ve got an Android phone. Come to think of it, Brandon and Frank also have Android phones too. We Android folks can’t play Cut the Rope or The Settlers, but there are a lot of really good […]

It wasn’t until I looked back at the list of games I’d played in 2009 that I realized just how few games I played in 2010. I guess moving across the country and starting at a new job will do that. While I managed to play twenty-three games and replay an additional five in 2009, I […]

Here’s an interesting topic I’ve never seen explored: video game RPG systems, and what makes each good. I’ll admit that the reason I haven’t seen it discussed much online is probably because most people really aren’t interested. But that’s what makes me different, I guess. The subject is interesting to me. Tally Ho! CRPGs go […]
