4 out of 5 starsOriginally posted on my blog Suspense horror is not my wheelhouse. I’m a naturally jumpy guy, so I avoid most horror in general, but suspense...that’s the granddaddy of all horror. Suspense sticks with me long after the experience is over thanks to its best friend unease. Thankfully, true discomfort, true unease, true terror, they’re not reliably easy things to create. Why else would garden variety horror media lean…
Final Fantasy XIII2010
3 out of 5 starsOriginally posted on my blog In their last show as a band, the Sex Pistols played one song and left the stage. Before leaving the stage, Johnny Rotten quipped, “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?” The thing is, I don’t feel this way for the reasons everyone else might think I might. I suppose we’ll go after the biggest point of contention first. Linearity “Final Fantasy XIII is The Worst Final Fantasy Ever…
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater2004
5 out of 5 starsOriginally posted on my blog . <strong>SPOILER ALERT</strong>: This review may cover plot points that will spoil MGS3. "<em>Whoever wins, the battle does not end. The loser is set free from the battlefield, while the winner must remain there. And the survivor will live out his life as the warrior until the day he dies.</em>" -Big Boss to Solid Snake <strong>The Story</strong> Metal Gear's story completely revolves…
Mother 32006
5 out of 5 starsOriginally posted on my blog . Wallpaper courtesy Pet-Shop on DeviantArt Ruminations on video games as an art form – this could very well become a Mother 3 review. There will be spoilers here. Seriously, don’t read it if you want to play Mother 3 and not have the plot spoiled. There’s a trite comparison that floats around the internet almost every month that always gets my eyes rolling. Inevitably, someone will call…

All articlesXCOM: Hero Moments
Oct 15, 2012
tl;dr version: XCOM giveth and XCOM taketh away. Had an epic moment in XCOM that I couldn't not write about. I wish I'd filmed it, but instead I'll have to create a word picture for you guys. You know those side chambers in UFOs? The really small ones with a power core and an L-shape in front of an alien door? Six guys positioned (thankfully not clustered in grenade range) in that room to burst...
XCOM: Enemy Unknown First Impressions and Let's Play
Oct 10, 2012
Man, I am loving XCOM! I played the original for a few missions back in the day, but it was nigh impenetrable without serious FAQ usage and it felt like such a "solved problem" that I wasn't really able to get into it. Cue the new XCOM with its new mechanics, no Time Units (thank god!), and strategic tone. I've never had so much fun nearly losing every mission before. Things I love: The palpabl...
Dan Plays: FTL: Faster Than Light! Episode 1: To Boldy Go!
Sep 14, 2012
Finally got around to filming some Let's Plays, so here's my first episode. Pardon the slight clipping on the mic. I'll try and get it fixed for subsequent vids.
Uncharted 3 First Impressions (Light Early Game Spoilers)
Nov 2, 2011
Everyone's favorite treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, is back once again for his third journey! What's it like? I'll tell you. I'm about eight chapters in, but you can expect some degree of story spoiler if you read this post. I don't think anything huge has happened yet, but if you don't want to know about which characters are in the game or what happens at all, DON'T READ THIS ! - Transitioning...
Dead Rising 2 Impressions
Oct 13, 2010
He hasn't covered wars (you know), but he can do mean things with duct tape. Dead Rising, how I’ve missed you. You first charmed my heart in Willamette, Colorado along with Frank West’s camera, your punishing save system, immense difficulty, and utter insanity. Within the first two minutes of actual gameplay, you can bet that I died. I fell in love right there. Oh, Dead Rising. Now you’ve retur...
Dragon Questing V Part XVI
May 21, 2010
Originally posted on my blog . I have no idea why I've been sitting on this completed installment. Just remembered it was done and decided to post it this week. At the top of Talon Tower Dan, Dave, Beca, and Sancho meet up with a very familiar face. Slon the Rook, the second third of the duo that murdered Pankraz. Dan already killed Kon the Knight right before being turned into a statue, so I w...
