It took me three evenings to finish Limbo, and I’m glad to say that I did it with no walkthrough and no hints. In fact, I plan to get all the game’s trophies with the exception of that one that would have you complete the game in one sitting with five or less deaths. […]

Here’s the second part of the Lungfishopolis Limbo hints extravaganza. Remember – this is not a walkthrough. If you want walkthroughs, there are plenty on YouTube. But I urge you *not* to use walkthroughs. Limbo’s puzzles can be very challenging, but if you can suck it up and just spend some time and experiment, you […]

Because I don’t have an XBox, I don’t have access to XBLA games until they’re released on other platforms. This is why I never got to try Braid until it was released on Steam. When I eventually got access to the game through Steam, I found out just how hard its puzzles really were, and […]

Back when we were first dating, she bought a gaming PC and left it over my house so that she could come over and play Neverwinter Nights and Baldur’s Gate with me. Later, we played Dungeon Siege, Champions of Norrath and Gauntlet Legends together. These […]

Last night was my first real night of video game playing after our big cross-country move. I fired up Uncharted 2 and was forced to spend 45 minutes downloading an update, during which time I played some Dragon Age: Awakening on my PC. It’s hard to look at Uncharted 2 and call it anything other […]

For the past few years, I’ve listened to many XBox 360 owners explain why their console of choice was superior to the Playstation 3. And while some games – Dead Rising, Fable 2, and the upcoming Alan Wake for example – have made me wish that I owned a 360, for the most part I’ve been […]

It’s been up for some time now, but I feel a need to point out Brandon’s review of Heavy Rain on Gameshark.com for those of you who may need additional nudging to get a copy of the game. Here’s my own review: “WOOO!”
