Jurassic Park: Childhood Trauma In a Cartridge

It’s hard to find anyone that takes licensed titles seriously these days. With a couple of noteworthy exceptions (Spider Man 2, Goldeneye 007), they’re almost always poorly made cash-ins accompanying some movie or television show. Nevertheless, during the late 80s … Continue reading

The Gears of War trilogy: Instant Fun, Just Add Friends

I hope you’ll forgive the laziness of critiquing an entire series of games in a single review, but I didn’t feel compelled (read: motivated enough) to analyze my thoughts on each game in separate posts. Over the last weekend I … Continue reading

I am a grumpy, old gamer who lacks any sort of imagination. Well, at least that’s what I felt like playing Scribblenauts. I bought Scribblenauts on its launch day, deliberately visiting a GameStop just to pick it up despite a lifelong proclivity … Continue reading

Review: Burnout Paradise

I don’t necessarily feel worthy (for lack of a better word) to play … Continue reading

Review: Mirror’s Edge

Geeze, a week without a single post? Yes, it’s been a busy time for me lately, but thankfully I’ve been in the middle of beating two (yes, two!) games, and I just finished up one of them. Earlier this week I … Continue reading

Review: Call of Duty – Black Ops

I put some heavy playtime into Call of Duty: Black Ops on Thursday, but didn’t get the chance to write anything up for it then. I made it to about three levels from the end of the game before putting … Continue reading

Progress Report: Call of Duty – Black Ops

Progress Report: Hard Reset

Today is Sunday, which means two things: a new Game of Thrones episode, and some down time to get some gaming done. For my first progress report I’ll naturally be jumping into a game I’m already in the middle of playing. I received Hard … Continue reading
