Spreading The Love
I, like many of you gamers out there, have tried and failed when trying to share my love of games with others. While all of us may have the best intentions from the beginning, we usually meet failure because of lack of forethought or over enthusiasm for our hobby. Instead of adding new gamers to the gaming community’s numbers we usually only succeed in solidifying their… Continue reading 8 Tips for Gaming With Loved Ones
Far Cry 2 – An Exercise in Overachieving Mediocrity
I will start this semi-review with a caveat, I did not finish Far Cry 2. While Far Cry 2 is a very competent shooter, there seemed to be way too much working against me ever beginning to enjoy it. Whether it was the lack of a quick travel feature, the random battles, or having malaria, there were things in this… Continue reading Far Cry 2 - Initial Impressions
First Person Platforming
Mirror’s Edge reminds me more of an old school platformer ala Mega Man than it brings to mind any other games that use the first person viewpoint.

Prologue
Flashback to my 14 year old self sitting in a hospital lobby trying to pass the time until my 10 minutes of viewing time with my grandmother would come around.

Yes, last year’s tops games were for… Continue reading Bioshock - Does it need a sequel?
Around 1 AM last night I fired up my freshly downloaded copy of the Resident Evil 5 Demo that recently arrived on Live Market Place. Right off the bat I can say the environments look absolutely amazing but the character models seemed like they were plucked straight out of early 2002. I’m trying not to be too judgemental but I have to ask Capcom, Why are Chris Redfield’s arms so… Continue reading Resident Evil 5 - First Impressions

1. My best experience thus far with the game is that I’ve barely scratched the surface of the original World of Warcraft content. There’s also the fact that I will also be able to grab the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King expansions sometime down the line if/when I want more content…scales are continuing to be tipped towards ponying up for a monthly subscription. Damn you Blizzard, damn Continue reading WoW Update - Top 5 Experiences Thus Far in World of Warcraft
With Lost Season 5 finally starting this Wednesday I was happy to also see that the Official Lost Podcast will also be releasing their shows again. I was checking out 1/21′s vidcast and was Continue reading Official Lost Podcast AND Games Journalism - Geekgasm anyone?
Last year around this time I felt the need to go on Vacation. I had no idea where to go but I just knew that going back home to NY was low on my list. Seemingly out of nowhere the idea of going to 2008′s Penny Arcade Expo popped into my head.
I had always heard coverage of the event being nothing but positive and the thought of being right Continue reading Penny Arcade Expo - I miss you already
