New DS RPG: Orcs and Elves

September 28, 2007

Winner of the most uncreative game title of the year goes to EA, who have just released a fact sheet for their upcoming Nintendo DS title, Orcs and Elves. The game looks like a classic RPG style game, and I’m crossing my fingers that it will be turn based. Here’s the facts:
Orcs & [...]

Folklore Character Contest

September 28, 2007

Sony Computer Entertainment have announced a contest in which people can submit their own original art to potentially be used in the game for a character model. Folklore, for those who don’t know, is one of the only games that has made me consider getting a PS3. It looks snazzy as can be. [...]

Funny Peggle Review

September 27, 2007

Okay, seriously — this review cracked me up immensely. First of all – if you haven’t downloaded the trial of Peggle and played it yet – do it. It’s the most addictive ‘casual game’ ever (I should definitely kill Scott for introducing it to me) and you will regret having spent so much [...]

Heroes Season Premiere

September 26, 2007

Warning: This contains spoilers (do not read if you haven’t seen)
Hilarious video (not a spoiler):

So I thought this weeks episode was a bit slower than most. Random thoughts:
* Molly is adorable, and what a good little actress playing her. Her plotline + Parkman was the most interesting in the episode.
* I’m interested to [...]

Gamers as parents.

September 26, 2007

I wanted to highlight this good post at Channel Massive that claims that great MMO players can’t be great parents.  (Keep in mind his definition of “great MMO players” is  referring to the end game raiders)
I personally fully agree.   Coming home and raiding after work until bedtime 4+ nights a week is absolutely asinine [...]

Games I suck at.

September 25, 2007

I feel like someone needs to take away my gamer card. First Bioshock launches and I don’t care. Now Halo 3 came out today and I don’t care one bit. I really do wish I could get into those kind of games, but there are a few genres that I am just [...]

Metaplace – Why should gamers care?

September 18, 2007

I wrote this up for the folks at the RLMMO Metaplace fansite — but their site is having errors and won’t allow me to post – so I’ll post it here for now.
Hey guys!
Now that the cat is out of the bag and our Metaplace website has gone up to the public – I wanted [...]
