It'll Always Be Tuesday

Jul 8, 2013

I've never been one to open up publicly. But then again, I've never felt this way before. On July 8th, 2013 I learned about the death of Ryan Davis. He was the co-founder of Giant Bomb, a videogame website, he was a videogame journalist and he was one of the two biggest inspirations in my life. Back in the early 2000's I was way into videogames, a fact I became comfortable with. I started watch...

What I'm Playing: Numen: Contest of Heroes

Sep 3, 2011

Numen: Contest of Heroes surprised me on Steam the other day as it was fun looking RPG that was only $2.50. Obscure cheap games often scare me because it means they're either absolute garbage, great games with a few major flaws, or something completely out of this world. With the ever growing free gaming market taking over I decided to see what a $10 game on sale for $2.50 had to offer. Numen:...

Orange Envelope Get! (Vanquish)

Aug 1, 2011

Vanquish showed up in the mail the other day and completely took over my life...for a few hours. Everything from the ridiculous characters to the giant robots to the incredibly strange dialogue had me hooked. Weird in-game mentions of eBay, explosions, a main character who smokes mid-battle, it's all here. Coming from the studio that developed Bayonetta all the craziness came off as completely...

Finally Played the Damn Game

Jul 21, 2011

So Alan Wake showed up in the mail the other day. (Yes I have Gamefly, it works for us college gamers) After hearing Brad's praise of the game and watching enough quicklooks and gameplay footage of the game to make me feel like I had already played it I decided to give it a whirl anyway. As somewhat of a side note I hate survival horror games, I'm not a huge fan of being tense while gaming and...

Terraforming the PC Landscape

Mar 28, 2011

This weekend I played primarily PC games in my free time, and I couldn't remember the last time I had done so without it being an MMO. I love PC games, for a while they were the only games I would ever play. Growing up on Diablo and Team Fortress had me focused on building a gaming PC in order to keep up with the new releases. Over time my Xbox took priority and the PC slowly became a platform...

Perhaps "Arcade" is the Wrong Term

Mar 23, 2011

Back when I first bought a Xbox 360 the marketplace was filled with silly arcade games that I primarily used to waste time while other videos or games were downloading. It was all about the blockbuster hits and massively entertaining games I paid $60 for each month. The $10 games I bought every few months or so were just time killers in between short periods of boredom or uncertainty as to what...
