Quasi-Review: God of War 3

I thought I’d be clever with this one, honestly. A few slick phrases, a couple of excessively pedantic words, and we’d be set: I’d tell you that God of War 3 is a Hollywood movie for your Playstation 3. You press these buttons, see, and that big burly man on screen swings his weapons around, […]

Nintendo Set to Take Your Money

In what might amount to the most understated announcement of the year, Nintendo of Japan recently unveiled the Nintendo 3DS, described in exultant tones as “like a DS…but, y’know, in three-dee. Right.” The quote’s pure fantasy, of course, but you could almost say the same for the handheld itself. Given Nintendo’s incredible sway in the […]

The Big Ten of 2010

Mighty big, this. 2010 glimmers with all the potential a new year can bring, but for a reason that extends well beyond the gratification of New Year resolutions: video games. I like them. You might like them too. Which works really pretty well, as we’ll both share good humor over the next ten months as […]

All About the Benjamins

Gamers know that their particular hobby is always an expensive one. The agony we’ll be inflicting on our wallets throughout 2010, however, is of spectacular proportions – God of War 3? Final Fantasy XIII? Mass Effect 2? Bioshock 2? Big names require big budgets. And while I’ve already raved about the service cheapassgamer renders for […]

Semi-blog: Plants Vs. Zombies

Okay, okay – this is the last time I’ll mention it. Promise. My obsession with Popcap’s latest and greatest game is well–documented on Unwind, but this last bit of news warrants delivery, folks, so swallow that righteous disgust and buckle up for some math. 20 > 3. This is true. $20 < $3, however, when […]

Holiday Madness!

Don’t get me wrong, people. I like you. Most all of you. I appreciate you all so much, in fact, that I’m going to spend five laborious minutes here to copy-paste a few tiny links. See how hard it is to be a blogger? Madness! Seriously, though. Click these. For the gamer in your life […]

A Public Service Announcement

Or, less eloquently: whinewhinewhine. Here’s the deal: I got robbed. This post isn’t an invitation to the pity party, never fear, but rather a bit of useful info I gleaned from the whole messy ordeal. Have an Xbox 360? Playstation 3? Nintendo Wii or some other big, fancy box? Drop what you’re doing right now […]

The Holiday Goozex

Remember this guy? He popped up last time I talked Goozex, the popular game trading site that proves an interesting – and rewarding – alternative to selling old stuff at Gamestop. You won’t pull much in the way of cash from it, sure, but the service rewards anyone patient enough to pick up a game […]

Link Dropping: Gazelle

On a temporary (read: this week) hiatus courtesy of some school-related issues this week, but I thought I’d pop in to offer a site I ran across recently: Gazelle.

Review: Scribblenauts (Nintendo DS)

So. Scribblenauts. You’ve heard of it before, hopefully, and maintained that fervent enthusiasm built up by award-show accolades and blogger-fueled glee. You might even have purchased it by now, tearing through the plastic wrap with wild abandon and dreaming of all the delightful treats contained therein. You played it. And then you had the truth.
