Keepers: Star Wars: Masters of the Teras Kasi
March 4th, 2010 at 1:00pm

Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss the games that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I’m a self proclaimed pack-rat and collector, but if I ever had to sell my gaming collection to feed my family these are the games I’d hang onto. If my wife let me, anyway. I know, […]

Overrated
October 20th, 2009 at 10:30am

I’m going to piss off a lot of people now by talking about how I think some of the best-loved games in the past few years weren’t actually that good. Much of this might have to do with my personal opinion of Bioware’s game engines, since two of my three example games here are from […]

August 21st, 2009 at 11:23am

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 […]

The Problem with a 1:1 Lightsaber Game
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:47pm

At E3, Nintendo announced their new “Motion+” controller, and developers expressed “annoyance and betrayal” at having not been given advance notice of its existence. It will be at least six to nine months before outside game developers are able to produce games that utilize this technology. Only Nintendo first-party games will use it any time […]
