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. I’ve never played a Sims game, but the story of a mean-spirited homeless man and his young daughter as told by this video […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

Playing Thief: Deadly Shadows recently, I was struck by how well the game would work with achievements. The game practically screams for them. In each mission, you can select from four difficulty levels, and in addition to increasing enemies’ perception and lowering your own resistance to damage, the higher difficulties will require you to collect […]

I’d never before played an import game. This whole thing was really kind of an accident. Wait – I’m not making any sense. Lemme ‘splain. No, there is too much. Lemme sum up. I’d been wanting to play Prototype for a while, and when I found a copy the PC version on EBay for $20 whereas it’s […]
