Before I begin the actual list, there’s something you need to know first: I am REALLY bad at finishing games. My Pile of Shame has countless games at 75% percent completion that I swear up and down I will get around to eventually. I honestly could not tell you why this happens. In some cases it’s this weird psychological thing where I’m enjoying it so much I don’t want it to end, therefore I ne...
By now I assume everyone has seen the leaked screenshots of what purports to be the upcoming content for Destiny. If not, Kotaku has a good post about it . And if you're worried about spoilers, come on. It's not like Destiny's story makes any sense anyway. In fact, that's the whole point of what I'm about to say. A lot of people have postulated (Reddit, of course) that a large portion (if not t...
Time for an update! I've done fuck all to catch up on anything. Sorry. Well, that's not entirely accurate. I have been playing Skyrim, but just the Dragonborn DLC. Full disclosure on Skyrim's inclusion on my list: I have put 150+ hours into Skyrim, but have not yet completed the main quest. I don't know why I've been so reluctant to do it, especially since I'm more than happy to spend 2 hours f...
Alright, buckle up, because this is a long-ass list. Context for this found HERE . Any suggestions for some kind of name for this project would be appreciated. So anyway, in no particular order, here we go: Xbox 360 Vanquish The Witcher 2 Fez Fallout: New Vegas Halo: Anniversary Alan Wake's American Nightmare Saints Row: the Third Skyrim Beyond Good and Evil HD Oblivion Shadows of the Damned Cr...
I had an idea at the end of 2011, then completely failed to even give the barest hint of trying to do it last year. So I'm committing to doing it this year. The idea was to write about all the games that I've started but haven't finished, and there are a lot . I'm also trying to incorporate an idea I had early (early) this morning, and that was to try get something written every day this year....
Uncharted 3 was one of my most anticipated titles this year. I fell in love with the characters (especially Elena ) back in the first game, and have wanted to see the conclusion to their story ever since. So when I popped the disc in last week, I was expecting a wonderful adventure, full of exotic locales, hair-raising action set-pieces, and loving characterization. What I didn't expect was to...
Yesterday I put up my Top Ten list for the year. I used that to talk at length about each game, so I won't redo that here. I also wanted to talk about some other things that have been on my mind lately about other games that came out this year, and I guess give out some awards (or more appropriately, shout-outs). Not that my awards have any cachet to them whatsoever , but hey, it's my blog, so...
So today was about the shittiest day I've had at work in quite some time, and it made me realize that, boy, I better get a life. I need to stop settling for my piddly-ass job and find a job that I actually like doing. Granted, much easier said than done, but you have to have a goal, right? I figure stretching my writing legs, so to speak, will at least help me get back on track. It's been my dr...
In the last day or so, a lot of people have been weighing in on this debate, mostly due to the latest Penny Arcade comic and its attendant news post . I thought I'd throw in my two cents as well. It seems like everyone is saying that they have no problem buying games digitally, but kind of hit a wall when it comes to buying physical games at full price. Some might say that there’s a discrepancy...
Certainly no other game has pissed me off as much as Prototype did. Part of the problem was that I had just finished playing InFamous, which was so well done in every way, and Prototype was just half-finished mess of a game. Which I suppose is fitting for a game called PROTOTYPE. I know a lot of people really liked it, including the guys here on Giant Bomb, but damn, I seethe with rage whenever...
