Castlevania: Symphony of the Night1997
5 out of 5 starsNov 26, 2010
Please note: This is a reposting of a review I had written in 2006. Its content has not been altered in any way. Subsequently, it is in no way indicative of my current writing style, observational prowess, or critical standards and opinions. For all we know, this was the zenith of my game critic career. Above and beyond the standard for downloadable games lies Symphony of the Night, a PlayStation classic much more a…

Please note: This is a reposting of a review I had written in 2006. Its content has not been altered in any way. Subsequently, it is in no way indicative of my current writing style, observational prowess, or critical standards and opinions. For all we know, this was the zenith of my game critic career. Let's get two things out of the way before I start: 1.) I was never a fan of any sort of the Ghost Recon series.…

(Video) Dissing the Bomb Squad (and other PAX misadventures)
Mar 14, 2011
An experienced convention-goer knows that it is vital to make a schedule, or at least a list of places to stand in line, and to have enough time to see everything. This was my first PAX. I was not an experienced convention-goer. Touching down at 6:00 PM Friday, with only a day pass, I made a mad sprint to the convention center. There were small streams of PAX-peoples walking in the opposite dir...
Concerning "Concerned" (and Gaming Webcomics in General)
Jan 26, 2010
This is partly a reposting of my comments from this thread , which in part voices my dismay over the decline of gaming webcomics, in relation to their steady uprising. I have, however, added substantial commentary in this blog post. No webcomic will ever fill the void left by Chris Livingston's " Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman ." Its secret, I've found, is based on two pri...
A Rousing Success or a Magnificent Failure
Aug 19, 2008
Giant Bomb reminds me of the power/danger of Wikipedia, perhaps the single greatest achievement created on the internet. It is almost entirely dependent on the community and its willpower to work towards a common goal: creating a site for gamers by gamers. Only time will tell if Giant Bomb reigns supreme, and if it will survive the plague of spammers and trolls soon to come in the upcoming year...
