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 [...]

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 [...]

The other night I finished Fallout 3, and when I say finished, I mean finished.  Every achievement point gained, all five DLC packs completed.  Are there still a few unnamed quests and places to visit in the Wastelands?  Oh sure, it wouldn’t be a Bethesda game if there weren’t, but for me, Fallout 3 is [...]

I’d let you know my opinion of the engaging Ghostbusters (gave it away a bit there), but I’m sure Greg will let you know his feelings about that game once he’s gotten through it, so I’ll throw in my opinion of a game he’ll be unlikely to comment on instead…
It’s easy to take the gains [...]

Malaria’s most prominent symptom is sudden-onset dizziness and blurred vision which disappears almost instantly when you take a malaria pill. Still, if it hits when you’re just about to cross a bridge, expect to smash through the guardrail and face a watery death.
In Africa, guns rust in a matter of hours.
As long as you have [...]

Sorry for the continued pieces on Fable 2 but it’s all I’ve been playing outside of Puzzle Quest: Galactrix.  For the record, I’m a woman in PQ as well, however it has no bearing on the story.  The woman in the picture is just pretty to look at.  I’m also a unicorn at times in [...]

For some reason I usually play as women when playing RPG’s.  Maybe it’s because I’m a man in real life, so playing as a woman represents a new experience.  Maybe it’s because if I’m going to be staring at someone’s ass for 40 hours, I’d prefer it to be a female one.  I truly have [...]

Microsoft did a hell of a thing when somebody there thought up achievements. Although born on the 360, they’ve come to be fairly ubiquitous amongst games today.
Not being an XBox 360 owner, my first real experience with achievements was in Team Fortress 2, which I tried briefly during its beta testing. Soon after that, the [...]

Seeing how Greg so eloquently laid out what he’s playing right now, I figured that I’d do the same, even though the pickings are slim indeed.
1.) Rock Band 2 - I am always playing Rock Band 2, even when I’m not physically playing it. If I’m in the car, I’m either singing songs that I’ve [...]

I’ve mentioned previously that I thought Oblivion was a better game than Fallout 3, despite the fact that both were created by Bethesda on the same engine, and despite the fact that Fallout 3 is a more recent game. Now I’d like to give you some concrete reasons as to why.
I’ll totally agree that Fallout [...]
