All reviewsContrast2013
2 out of 5 starsContrast is an interesting story that I haven't seen told in video games. Its told around a young girl and her family struggles. You play as her friend that only she can see. The game that comes with that story is also a novel idea of shifting into shadows to solve puzzles and reach places you normally could not. The problem is that gameplay is a buggy mess. Frustration can set in pretty easily due to the number of…
DeathSpank2010
3 out of 5 starsIt's a fun, goofy, hack & slash with some dry humor thrown in. It lost a lot of it's charm about half way through but I was invested enough by then to see it through to the finish. The block and combo mechanics are pretty forgetable and I didn't even use them most of the time. Equipment management is saved by an auto feature which keeps you out of menus for the most part. It's a fun time waster, but nothing to laud…
Battlefield 19432009
4 out of 5 starsBattlefield moments are truly a hallmark of any title with Battlefield in the title. My favorite from playing 1943 was as I was running alongside a friendly tank as an enemy airplane swoops down to bomb it. The tank exploded right next to me making me wonder how I even survived. Just to my right is an anti-aircraft gun that shot down the enemy aircraft in an explosion above my head. The resulting debris from the…

The past I've had my launch Oculus Rift since day-ish one. (That initial launch/shipping thing for the Rift was a mess.) I've loved VR. I haven't played as much VR as I thought I would, but I've enjoyed it. If you asked me before I got the Rift, I thought I'd end up living in VR and only play VR games. Why not? I'd say it was mostly down to the types of games plus the resolution and fov weren't...
Giant Bomb in the iRacing Blancpain Endurance Series - Monza troubles
Sep 30, 2015
Endurance racing and Controversy This past week was the first week of the new iRacing Blancpain Endurance Series for 2015 season 4. This season is special though because over 300 teams are competing to finish in the top 40 teams to qualify for a pro license and eligibility into the iRacing Blancpain GT World Series in 2016 which will offer up real prize money. The iRacing series is modeled afte...
New sim racing pedals
Aug 12, 2015
New pedals! I finally upgraded my racing pedals. I’ve been racing with a Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel and pedals since 2005. At some point I did add a Leo Bodnar USB pedal adapter to increase the resolution of the pedals but while that was an improvement it was a spit shine on a rusty car. The new pedals I got are the Heusinkveld Engineering Sim Pedals Pro 2 pedal set with their baseplate....
In-between games
May 2, 2011
I finished Portal 2 single player. I even went back and got all the single player achievements. Now I'm just waiting on my co-op partner so I can finish that story. I didn't go back and pick up any of the other games I'm halfway through. I just kind of grazed across my game pile of games that you can't really finish. Torchlight endless dungeon, Fifa 11 and a lot of Rock Band 3. I did have peopl...
So long gamefly
Apr 28, 2011
I canceled gamefly again today. On this latest stint I've had it for 11 months. I still really want to get through my backlog of games and gamefly was just preventing me from doing that. It wasn't exactly giving me all these great games I saved money by not buying and I would keep them for usually 2 months at a time. The way amazon has been pricing games I'm pretty sure I could have bought ever...
DAII Prep course complete
Mar 7, 2011
Dragon Age spoilers in this blog post, FYI. This week it was all Ferelden all the time. With Dragon Age II coming tomorrow I went back and played through the Dragon Age Awakening expansion, plus the Leliana's Song, Golems of Amgarrak and Witch Hunt DLC. Awakening was a lot of fun. It was almost 16 hours of playtime for me to do all the quests except the special weapon item quests. The world cha...
