Yo, these games were pretty rad (part three)

Jan 5, 2012

This rounds out the 2011 releases which I played through to completion or, in some cases, more than 50 hours. I wasn't able to put together a top 10 list - I only played enough of nine new games in 2011 - but this was a good year to be a video game fan. I bought Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3 and Dead Space 2 this year and haven't had a chance to spend more than an hour or two in any of them. I...

Yo, these games were pretty rad (part two)

Jan 4, 2012

Yesterday I wrote about three of the games I played in 2011. Today I'll cover Skyrim, Trenched and Rage. Next on my list of games to write about are Portal 2, Dirt 3 and Renegade Ops. Skyrim Morrowind came out the summer after I graduate from high school. I finally had a computer that could play games and no parents to tell me to go to bed at a reasonable hour. It was the first game of its kind...

Today I'll write about Bastion, Forza 4 and Modern Warfare 3. Tomorrow I'll write about Skryim, Trenched and Rage. Thursday I'll close out with Portal 2, Renegade Ops and Dirt 3...

MW3 and Rage: Two games, one review, no story (just kidding)

Nov 15, 2011

I beat Rage Monday after plodding through it an hour or two at a time for the past month and Sunday I beat Modern Warfare 3 on Veteran in just two long sittings. There's much about both these games that I loved and an equal amount that I loathed but the thing that stands out to me the most is that both have terrible bad guys. I'm going to put down some very mild spoilers here so if you actually...

The best part about Bastion

Sep 7, 2011

I love everything about Bastion but holy damn that music is awesome. Maybe after I play through the New Game + I might write out my full thoughts on the game. Until then I'll just keep listening to "Build That Wall (Zia's Theme)" on repeat.

I guess I get and achievement for this

Sep 10, 2010

Achievements are such a strange concept to me. Sometimes it's fun, but often I find them pointless.
