My vocal capabilities, at least in the opinion of SingStar 80’s, fall into the range of Erasure, Flock of Seagulls, and Madonna (in her Material Girl phase). I don’t know whether to be proud or frightened of that fact, but I do know that I then stole the game, a set of mics and […]

My Internet is not cooperating with me, so let’s hope I can get at least this post out there during a window of up time, since I can’t access the Internet at the moment.
I’ll take the opportunity to break down my experiences in The Burning Crusade so far.
Leveling:
After a week, I’ve managed to get my […]

Cooking Mama is a Nintendo DS game that teaches you how to cook! Well, it teaches you how to cook Japanese. Mmmmm. I want sushi now.
I fail at cooking, so maybe I should pick this one up.
You are given real recipes and they can actually be made after you are done playing the game. I […]

I spent my weekend playing Street Fighter. Street Fighter Alpha Anthology actually, which is the latest in the never-ending string of franchise fun. I’ve been a huge Street Fighter fan since the original, which I am both old enough to remember, and also old enough to proclaim was one of the most purely […]

Yesterday I succumbed to the morbid curiosity that is Second Life. Everywhere I turned, someone was writing about it, and I decided it was time to see what all of the fuss was about. So I went to the site, sighed up for their free membership, and got rocking. The setup was amazingly easy and […]

Well, Matt was kind enough to put himself through the torture of BloodRayne and email me a short review of the experience. Needless to say, he wasn’t very impressed with the film. How disappointing - though not at all surprising.
lol was awful. Utterly just…bad.
The best part was Kristanna Loken’s gratuitous if not oddly positioned […]

Well, I couldn’t let Next Generation have the last word. Here’s a list of my favorite games discovered this year. I’d love to hear what yours are. I won’t go as far as to say these are the BEST games of 2005, cause who the hell am I to say that? But here’s my nod […]

Finishing good games is depressing. Sort of like finishing a good book. You know it’s coming, and yet you don’t want it to. I dragged this game out as much as I could, and I’m still sad that it’s over. I miss my character, Ysuran, saying, “Let the shadows take whatever player […]

I’ve been playing the demo for an older game (2001) called Fate of the Dragon and if you’ve wondered why I haven’t posted yet today, well now you know.
Developed for Eidos by Overmax, Fate of the Dragon is a PC-based strategy game that can best be summed up by saying it’s a mix of Warcraft […]

I was a huge fan of the Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter style games in my youth, with their gory fatalities and hot-shot characters. I liked Rayden from the original, or if I wanted to cheese off my brother, I would beat him up using Sonya Blade. I saw Shaolin Monks on the […]
