Consequences: Heavy Rain Initial Impressions

I’ve been playing Heavy Rain now for two evenings, and I’m probably 5 or 6 hours in. Before they made Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream released a game called Indigo Prophecy, which I absolutely loved despite the game’s severely flawed denoument. I can say now that although Heavy Rain contains no science fiction beyond some advanced [...]

Using the AV output on a PS3

From the day I bought my PS3, I’ve had it hooked up to our flatscreen with an HDMI cable. But recently we had to sell our televisions, and I found need to hook it up to an old standard definition set. The problem I found is that the AV output cables just wouldn’t work. I [...]

Darksiders and the Lure of Easy Criticism

I’ve been playing a lot of Darksiders the past couple of weeks taking a whirlwind tour through post-apocalyptic Earth as War, one of the four Horsemen.  Along the way I’ve killed many the demon, rode many the mile and amassed a collection of armaments and weapon enhancements to make Kratos proud.  I found the game [...]

Trine

My wife and I have been seriously digging Trine. After having played it over the weekend, I’m ready to say that it’s a front-runner for best game I’ve played in 2009. Granted, I have yet to play Dragon Age: Origins, and I’m not sure whether I’ll be playing Uncharted 2 in 2009, but as of [...]

Arguments in Favor of the Playstation 3

Before I begin, let me make one thing clear: I am not a Playstation fanboy. I may have been a bit of a fanboy with the Playstation 2, as it was a console that absolutely dominated the market and carried nearly every game of the era that I was interested in playing. But the Playstation [...]
