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, […]

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-Indie: Plants Vs. Zombies Online

You still haven’t played it, have you? It’s okay. I understand. I only provided some miserable half of a review last time we discussed it, after all, and that’s hardly sufficient to form an opinion. Sure, the aggregate review scores on Metacritic list it with a sterling 88, but you can’t rush into these things, […]

Indie: Canabalt

You know what? I get it. You’re busy. Life gets in the way, right? Schoolwork steps in, your job starts cracking down, and all of those precious free seconds vanish in an instant. This is part of that whole adult thing, I’ve been told (hint: it sucks). So I don’t blame you for not downloading […]

A Glorious Return!

And a new (school) year, people. Isn’t that exciting? It’s also my last, a sobering realization which completely robs the joy out of that opening. But steady that quivering lip, ladies and gents, and take heart — I’ ve still two semesters to delight, entertain, and (on rare, vaguely mediocre occasions) inform you on all […]

Odds and Ends: GOG

These last few weeks of class always drag on and on, don’t they? Final projects, final papers, final this and that and blah blah blah. But fret not, dear friends, for there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s all warm and pleasant and awesome. How are you going to spend your […]

Big Boom: Red Faction: Guerilla

Man. That’s a lot of colons. Ever heard of Red Faction? Don’t feel bad if you haven’t. I completely glossed over it myself when it first debuted back in 2001, though hopefully I can rectify that by blabbing on and on about the upcoming third title in the series. Red Faction: Guerilla hits the market […]

Indie: Knytt

How about that headline, eh? Incomprehensible. It’s a piece of work, if I may say so myself, and it’sĀ all for you, dear readers, ye few who haven’t gone off and been productive and stuff. A little mystery never hurt anyone, I’d say, but let’s put aside the smoke and mirrors for now and break out […]

Nintendo Makes Money

Breaking news, right? The sky is blue, grass is green, Qdoba is better than Chipotle — all obvious truths, provided you go outside sometimes and also have a pulse. But an even more obvious(er) truth is the fact that Nintendo, purveyor of magical white boxes of all shapes and sizes, is raking in the dough. […]
