Syp of BioBreak is one of my favorite fellow bloggers. He’s funny, drops tons of pop-culture references and has an adventurous gaming palette. All things I hope I am as well. In addition to those “professional” credentials, we’re both short and bearded. Peas in a pod. Enough bromance. The reason I mention the BioBreak, other [...]

Hmm, only 22 games completed this year. That’s a far cry from the 36 that I completed in 2009. A whopping 39% drop in games completed. I wondered why that was, so I decided to make this post a lot more visual with tasty pie charts. What immediately jumped out was the amount of games [...]

F.E.A.R.: The Stupidest Subtitle Ever was one of the few games that I really played while I was on my WoW binge.  Between November 2004 and the launch of The Burning Crusade in early 2007, few PC games managed to be completed.  F.E.A.R. mesmerized by coalescing a horror plot with a deep first-person shooter experience.

It was a sad, sad day when I was informed that Project Lore would be closing its doors at the end of February.  It was a project that I poured my heart and soul in to for over a year, and I was crushed to find out that it’d end, especially the way it did.  [...]

I know it’s two months late, but here’s my recap of my gaming endeavors for 2009.  I managed to beat at least one game every two weeks, which means that I played a lot of video games.  The titles are fairly diversified, with my custom built gaming PC obtaining the most games played, and by [...]

I spent some time scouring the Internet for the best deal on Aliens vs Predator this weekend.  One of my friends was doing much the same, only he was paying more attention to the details, rather than the final price which is my wont.  During his comparisons he realized that GameStop’s “exclusive” pre-order bonus, a [...]

I’ve almost completed The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for DS, and I am absolutely loving the dungeons and puzzles in Link’s newest adventure.  But there’s one aspect of the title that is absolutely frustrating, the title’s musical element that is known as the Spirit Flute. As has become the staple of the franchise, Link [...]

Borderlands doesn’t offer deep customization to its characters – one of my knocks on an incredibly fun game – but the talent trees can differ one person’s Brick from another.  During my trek through Pandora I spent an awful lot of time analyzing and playtesting a wide range of specializations.  I thought it would be [...]

I’m sure everyone has heard about the massive Xbox Live banning that happened this week.  It’s kind of hard to miss the news that over 600,000 modded 360s have been kicked from the service.  I understand that some people mod the console for purposes other than pirating, but those completely honest homebrewers are few and [...]

Every class in Borderlands is given a unique melee weapon to fend off those pesky midgets and skags that come charging at you. Brick, your tank archetype, has an entire specialization based around pummeling your opponents. Other characters have certain melee talent skills to invest in, but not enough to build your character around. With [...]
