I’m done with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I can sum up the bulk of my frustrations in two words: Bad Platforming. It’s funny – I don’t remember quite so many bottomless pits in any of the Star Wars movies. Sure, there was the part in Empire Strikes Back where Luke lost his hand and […]

I played and enjoyed the first game from Penny Arcade shortly after it came out. I guess I was a bit surprised by its vulgarity, but I enjoyed it. Now, I’ve just finished the second game. I suppose that it was a bit of a disappointment that the second one is also titled “On the […]
