Okay, I admit, I’m excited about the upcoming Star Trek MMORPG. And not just because I love Star Trek, but because I’ve been playing the same game for the past few years, and I could use something new. Here’s hoping there’s more to this game than Bethsoft’s Star Trek game that was, while absolutely hauntingly [...]
I don’t really have anything else to say about this. That’s 5 gold stars, a perfect performance, on expert difficulty level, in Rock Band on the Xbox 360.
Now you know why I haven’t posted in a while. Er, sorry.
It’s been 18 years since I first sat down with my NES and popped the Super Mario Bros 3 cartridge in. I played the absolute hell out of that game, through it multiple times, alone and with others. It was a fantastic game that literally consumed all my freetime for years.
This past week I bought [...]
BioShock: The Movie? Okay, I’m interested. Gore Verbinski has done some good work. And I certainly enjoyed the game.

I cannot say enough positive stuff about this game. First, it’s an Xbox Live Arcade game. Second, it only cost 800 Microsoft points (roughly $10). Third, it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long, long time with a video game. I don’t mean it’s [...]

So by now you should know that I’m a fan of video games. I’m particularly a fan of video games that utilize a sandbox approach towards the game development. Oblivion, one of my favorite games, emphasizes sandbox play perfectly — there’s more storyline outside the main [...]

I suppose it’s time to talk about BioShock, the FPS (First Person Shooter) just released on the PC & Xbox 360.
The gameplay is the best I’ve had in an FPS. Ever. The story is engrossing, the challenges many and varied, and the choices meaningful in how [...]
So, this guy gives an interview about writing a Flash game that ends up netting him $8,000 a month from advertising revenue and I get all confused.
Who the hell are you people that go to play a game and then end up clicking ads? Apprently 20M pageviews a month = $8k/mo. People do that? The [...]

I feel as though I can really speak with some degree of authority now when it comes to this game. I’ve finished it a total of 3 times, amassed a pretty large sum of played hours on it, and I was initially hesitant to play [...]
