Tweet I have too many damn games. I also just bought a house and am slowly turning it into a home. Part of that transformation lies in setting up the consoles. Part of setting up the consoles is connecting them to the TV, putting the controllers next to the consoles, and, of course, putting the games in a...

Tweet It’s that time of the year.  Flowers are blooming, rain is falling, and hardcore gamers are once again whipping themselves up into a frenzy over the industry-wide hype train known as E3. Here we go again. This year’s E3 should be interesting for a variety of reasons.  The industry has...

Tweet Gamers rejoice! Not only is the PSN back online, but two huge games debut this week. The PC crowd gets The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, a must own for fans of Action RPGs.

Tweet It wasn’t much more than a year ago when I first saw Brink. I got to see a demo at E3 2010 where I customized a character, shot some bad guys, and spilled my drink all over the carpet in Bethesda’s booth. Not one of my finest moments and one that I would rather forget. I did not, however,...

Tweet Darkspore is the latest game from Maxis Software, the developer powerhouse behind Sim City, The Sims, and Spore. An Action-RPG may seem like a strange genre leap for Maxis, but once you see the game, it will make sense. Think of it as a cross between Diablo and Spore, with a hint of Pokemon for good...

Tweet Well, well, well.   That didn’t take long. We’ve all noticed a severe lack of activity from Nintendo on the Wii, contrary to Reggie’s promises about additional content before E3 in June. Nintendo’s Q2 lineup was released earlier this week to the typical groans and sighs of...

Tweet GLaDOS is back! The surprise hit of of Valve’s Orange Box is finally getting a sequel, and it’s a full length one at that! While the original puzzle game can be beaten in a few hours once you get the hang of the mechanics, Portal 2 promises many more hours of both frustration and hilarity....
