2009 – The Year in Review
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:15am

Now that the end is in sight in terms of 2009’s video games, I thought I’d look back at all the games I played this year. I’ll definitely be playing Scribblenauts, Dragon Age: Origins, and Borderlands before the year’s over, and I may also be playing Uncharted 2 or Brutal Legend. But they’re all games that I’ll […]

Comparing Crysis to Far Cry
March 9th, 2009 at 3:00pm

One of my first impressions when I started playing Crysis was that it was a heck of a lot like Far Cry, albeit better looking. Aside from standard FPS mechanics, both titles let you toggle lying prone, and both contain a meter next to the mini-map to indicate enemy awareness of you, not unlike the […]
