All reviewsDarksiders II2012
4 out of 5 starsPut quite simply, Darksiders II is a fantastic game. But no game can claim to be perfect, and Darksiders II proves this quite handily. Between weird pacing issues and terrible console optimization on what most people would consider to be the game’s primary platform, the game has its issues. These flaws take an excellent game and somewhat chip away at the finish, but these small blemishes are not anywhere near enough…
Microsoft Flight2012
4 out of 5 starsSimulators are great ways to have experiences that you will probably never be able to have in your day-to-day life, and creating those experiences is where they really shine. I could go on all day about how much I love highly detailed cockpits that make you go through endless checklists to take off and land, and realistic flying mechanics that put you into a stall at the slightest movement of a stick, but at the…

All articlesTraveling the Trails - Part Three (The Oregon Trail Deluxe)
May 8, 2012
I know it’s been quite a while since I last took a journey into the world of the Oregon Trail, and to be quite honest, I took this particular journey a long time ago, and I’m just finally getting around to posting it. For those of you who aren’t aware of what I’m trying to achieve here, I was “inspired” after watching the Oregon Trail 3DS quick look to try and figure out where this series went...
Taking my Flight Sim Obsession into Orbit
Mar 12, 2012
All this talk about flight sims and flight sticks and related paraphernalia around the site has gotten me into flight sims again. I dusted off the stick and played some DCS A-10C and went back to IL-2, while peppering in something a bit more casual with Microsoft Flight. I’m not here to talk about boring atmospheric flight simulators though. While going through my Flight Sim revival, I rediscov...
Traveling the Trails - Part Two (The Oregon Trail - 1985)
Feb 26, 2012
It’s been a while since I did the first entry in this series, but I’m back, and its time to continue my search for the point where The Oregon Trail games jumped the sharks. Today, I’m going to play the first ‘real’ Oregon Trail game, the 1985 edition. After the widespread success of the teletype edition of the game, in addition to the simple standalone version I played last time, MECC released...
Traveling the Trails - Intro & Part One
Feb 1, 2012
Just like everyone else of a certain age or older, I played Oregon Trail when I was younger, and watching the Oregon Trail 3DS quick look made me both nostalgic and sort of sad. In my memory, I remember Oregon Trail as a game that required strategy and critical thinking, neither of which the 3DS version had. So, what I’m going to do is attempt to discover where the Oregon Trail series went off...
Watching a Galaxy Implode: Day Ten / The End
Dec 15, 2011
LUXURY YACHT CRAWL PARTY There’s not much I can actually write about content wise for my final blog about my experiences in Star Wars Galaxies, since most of you saw it all on the live stream, and if you didn’t, you can see it when the archive goes up. I will say, however, that as much as I have enjoyed pointing out the terrible flaws in this game throughout this series of blogs, I think hiding...
Watching a Galaxy Implode: Day Nine
Dec 12, 2011
Woooo! More pointless memorabilia! While I was working on the quest from my last blog, I reached level 14, and doing so popped a class quest for me, from Boba Fett of course. At this point, I’ve just accepted that any quest that is even remotely interesting is going to be given to you by a major character from the Star Wars universe, just to keep people somewhat interested in what they’re doing...
