My wife and I have always played video games together. Back when we were first dating, she bought a gaming PC and left it over my house so that she could come over and play Neverwinter Nights and Baldur’s Gate with me. Later, we played Dungeon Siege, Champions of Norrath and Gauntlet Legends together. These [...]

Last night was my first real night of video game playing after our big cross-country move. I fired up Uncharted 2 and was forced to spend 45 minutes downloading an update, during which time I played some Dragon Age: Awakening on my PC.
It’s hard to look at Uncharted 2 and call it anything other than [...]

For the past few years, I’ve listened to many XBox 360 owners explain why their console of choice was superior to the Playstation 3. And while some games - Dead Rising, Fable 2, and the upcoming Alan Wake for example - have made me wish that I owned a 360, for the most part I’ve been [...]

It’s been up for some time now, but I feel a need to point out Brandon’s review of Heavy Rain on Gameshark.com for those of you who may need additional nudging to get a copy of the game.

I tend to think of it as good omen for a game if the publisher releases a demo as opposed to forcing you to make your purchasing decision strictly off screenshots and online reviews. Kinda like how bad movies [...]

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 [...]

I just got my first platinum trophy today for finishing every achievement in Trine.Working my way through every experience vial in the game was the part that took the longest, and I’ll admit: I had to consult a few online guides to find a few of the more cleverly hidden ones. But this is the [...]

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 [...]

With Dante’s Inferno right around the corner, why not spend your Friday butchering demons and classic works of literature at the same time?  Ok, so it’s not exactly a free game and you need either a PS3 or an Xbox 360 to play it but hey, I’m new to this whole free [...]
