Game Review – Monaco
The devs were nice enough to let me take Monaco for a spin early, and here are my thoughts. Â If you aren’t familiar with the game, here’s a brief rundown: Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine is a single player or co-op heist game. Assemble a crack team of thieves, case the joint, and pull off…

Game Review – Tomb Raider
I played bits and pieces of the early Tomb Raider games, but was never a fan of them. I didn’t seek them out. But I kept hearing how good this new one was, at least before everyone moved on to Bioshock: Infinite, and when I saw a good deal, I jumped in and bought it. …

SimCity – My Impressions
If you are reading this, you probably know all the debates on the new SimCity, about always-on (and whether it’s needed), how scummy EA is, the stupid decisions leading up to the release of the game, and so on. I’ll be touching on all of that, as well as the actual gameplay. First, Origin. I…

Game Review – Dishonored
I’ve been playing Dishonored off and on for a while now, and it’s got a lot going for it. The world is a sort of Steampunk+Magic mix that’s right in my wheelhouse. I’m fairly in practice with stealthy fighting techniques thanks to making it most of the way through Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Dishonored has…

Dragon Age III: Inquisition Is Announced
Bioware announced the title for the upcoming Dragon Age game, and it’s Dragon Age III: Inquisition. Further press releases and statements place the game as a late 2013 release, which seems like a long time when they’ve already been working on the game for two years…but we remember the things we didn’t like about Dragon…

Game Review – Home
Okay, just finished my first playthrough of Home, an indie game developed by Benjamin Rivers, newly available via Steam. I’m a lightweight when it comes to horror stuff, but I’m a little freaked out here.  I bought it (for all of $2.54) because of the old school graphics, and the thought that what happened is based…

Vintage Gaming – X-Com Series
The Summer Steam Sale has only gotten me for one thing so far, and it’s the X-Com series of games. I’ve never played them, and I figured it’s time. I’ll be updating this post with thoughts on each of the games as time permits. Feel free to comment with your memories or strategies as you…

Diablo 3 Is Always On, But I’m Not
Of course, Diablo 3 has yet to actually BE always on, but.. I do not yet own Diablo 3. There was a time in my life, years ago, when I younger me would’ve been shocked at older me saying that. I played the heck out of Diablo 2, and it’s one of the few games…

Dragon Age 3 Speculation, Part 3
Part 1 – Part 2 Part 3 of my look at what might come to pass for Dragon Age 3 is a look at what characters may return. Both Awakening and DA2 had some appearances and references to previous characters, in fact they were thick on the ground for me at one point in DA2,…

GamesRadar’s 100 Best Games of All Time – OH REALLY
The folks at GamesRadar threw down their list of the top 100 games of all time, and while I’m not going to comment on every game (I haven’t played all of them), I’d like to point out what I think they got right and what they missed. 99. Â Ducktales – Excellent pull here, actually, as…

Diablo 3 Open Beta Weekend
I said on my forums that I might be more excited for Torchlight 2 than Diablo 3. Considering my reaction this morning to news of an open beta weekend for D3, I might have to adjust that a tiny bit. Heh. I’ve kept myself out of the loop as far as development goes, hoping that…

Continuing Game Review: Dragon Age 2
Note: Continuing means I will revisit this as I get farther in. Of course I couldn’t avoid Dragon Age 2 for very long, considering how much I loved Dragon Age: Originsand all the related DLC/expansion content. So here I am, almost through with Kirkwall (pre-Deep Roads expedition), and enjoying it quite a bit. I’ll put the…
