Today I continue my list of my top fifty games of all time. 35- Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (Silicon Knights, Nintendo Gamecube, 2002) The Nintendo Wii plays GameCube games. When I got my Wii, the only GameCube game that I eagerly hunted down was this one, because I’d heard so much about it. It did […]

This week, the five games I’ll be covering in my top fifty list include many newer games – games that didn’t exist at the end of 2007 when I last composed a top fifty list. 40-Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (Arkane Studios, Windows, 2008) Dark Messiah was panned in reviews because the plot was lame […]

I do remember specifically being asked a question about which of a number of options I’d most enjoy doing in a game and selecting “Fleeing from a terrifying enemy”. I totally admit to being a fan of […]

I’ve made no secret of the fact that Dragon Age: Origins is the best game I’ve played in years, due primarily to the writing. The storyline and the characters are absolutely stellar.

With the huge number of games that were released over the 2009 holiday season and the 2009 games that were pushed into early 2010, I’ve got a to-play list that’s just way too long.

For me, 2009 was like eating at a good buffet: chock full of tasty selections, comfort food and some guilty pleasures you just can’t resist. Let’s see what was on the menu for this year! Appetizers Trine – Although this is a very meaty dish for a downloadable game, it was still over with a […]

I’m gonna rock this category style because that’s just how I roll. Best Game That Ended Up Being Heroically Awesome Batman: Arkham Asylum – if you had told me at the beginning of the year that a relatively unknown developer would end up making the best superhero video game ever and that said game would […]
