Here's the dealio; I think the original X-COM is overrated. I think it has fantastic atmosphere, and I love the art style, but I think it gets too much praise just for being in the hard game club. There have been countless attempts to recapture X-COM through spiritual successors, and direct rip offs, and they've all been met by a fanbase that refuses to accept anything but the same exact game t...
Crysis is one of my new favorite games of all time. It's not new at all but I only bought it within the last year, because I finally had hardware that could run it maxed out. It is amazing graphically, but I was surprised by just how much of a fucking PC-ass PC game this is. The controls are basically flawless. It is unbelievably smooth to transition between suit modes, drop prone, get up, crou...

It had pretty graphics, fun weapons, and clever robots. But you sp...
No, I'm not deployed again, I'm just playing Clive Barker's Jericho! Ha! Seriously. Can this game get more brown? I'm in the World War 2 period of it and I'm not shooting undead nazis, I'm shooting big brown monsters with chainguns and flamethrowers. At one point I was shooting a dead woman with a German accent named Lichthammer whom I assume was in nazi regalia but I can't be sure because ever...
I game at work. Big shock, right? Only when there's really nothing going on though. Today I was revising the original System Shock. I've never beaten it but maybe I will this time. It's amazing. I get back to my room and I'm still hungry for more System Shock. I don't want to start over so I figure I'll fire up System Shock 2 and beat it again. I couldn't get the disc ripped properly so I downl...
It's called Dream of Waking . I've been blogging for a while. It's mostly just mindless crap about whatever I'm doing at the time. Maybe I'll do more games blogging here though. My wife says the gaming entries on my blog bore her to tears.
