Valve, meet Apple. Apple, meet Valve

Thursday, March 4, 2010 21:10 No Comments

Yesterday Valve released six teaser photos of five PC games that look like they’re coming to the Mac: Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life, Portal, and Steam. I’ve played Left 4 Dead vigorously, trying to eat up all of the achievements, and I’ve had an interest in trying Half-Life and Portal since I’ve known [...]

Deja Vu: More Borderlands DLC

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 20:43 No Comments

There is no doubt in my mind that Borderlands was the best game of 2009, and that it is one of the first games I recommend to customers when I’m at work. Last week the newest wave of DLC for it came out (The Secret Armory of General Knoxx) and I have heard nothing but [...]

Someone at Nintendo is Thinking

Monday, March 1, 2010 20:21 No Comments

Since the Nintendo DSi’s debut last April, not much has been made to accommodate the camera they so heavily marketed. Up until now it was just another electronic object that had a camera on it – and what doesn’t in our day and age? But finally, Good-Feel, the same developer who gave us Wario Land: [...]

Returning to Magic: The Gathering…

Saturday, February 27, 2010 11:25 2 Comments

Was not by choice.  Not at all.  As a matter of fact, the entire idea of playing Magic again spurred from my friend, Jon, who’s having a TCG weekend at his house starting today.  In preparation, he swung by to pick up Nicole and I last night to hit up The Guard Tower to pick [...]

Bioshock 2 Burrito Challenge

Saturday, February 20, 2010 11:25 1 Comment

I’m going to break down the following sequence of events in time line format.  You see, my friend, Jacob, claimed I could finish Bioshock 2 on hard with vita-chambers turned off by noon the next day.  What followed was one man’s epic battle against machine.
10:00 PM, Friday – Nicole and a group of our friends [...]

Heavy Rain Demo Impressions

Today I downloaded the Heavy Rain demo for PS3 and figured I’d finally take a peak at Quantic Dream’s next outing.  the download took a bit and the install took around 20 minutes or so, but after the wait I was immediately plunged into a portion of what will be a very, very immersive environment.

The Rise and Fall of Duke Nukem

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 1:11 No Comments

Wired had an excellent article a while back that I’d been meaning to post  chronicling the now vaporware that is Duke Nukem Forever.  Yes, I know that the game’s release has been a running joke, but some of you have been ferociously dedicated.  Now that 3D Realms has closed its doors, all that’s left (besides [...]

BioShock vs. BioShock 2: What’s Missing?

Monday, February 15, 2010 0:09 1 Comment

Wha… what’s missing?! But it has multiplayer, plasmid/weapon dual-wielding, new enemies, a sweeter hacking system and you’re a Big Daddy! If you’re thinking these things, you’re completely right. To be fair, I haven’t even finished BioShock 2 yet (my excuse is I’m playing on hard without Vita-Chambers), and I hear the story towards the end [...]

My 2010 Gaming Resolutions

Thursday, February 11, 2010 1:16 No Comments

The following post was blatantly ripped off inspired by Kraid’s post over at Destructoid.  When the 2010 started it didn’t even occur to me to set gamer resolutions, but after thinking about it there are a lot of games I wish to complete and achievements I wish to unlock that I haven’t gotten around to [...]
