When that first footage of Ubisoft’s Jade Raymond playing one of the first demos of the original Assassin’s Creed came out, I was immediately interested. In fact, it’s the game that convinced me to buy an Xbox 360. The game had some really interesting mechanics like the passive and active modes of the face buttons [...]

Red Faction: Guerrilla
We’ve been meaning to write more around here, but as we’ve both been taking summer classes and working, those opportunities are fewer. Hell, for me, even opportunities to play games are limited to late night sessions that I usually regret as I wake up the next morning to head in to work. [...]

If game characters had their own personal ad section on Craigslist, I can imagine that as of the past few years a lot of the postings would sound a little like this:

Today was a beautiful day here in Michigan. So, when class got out early, I decided to take a bike ride. On this ride, I decided to listen to the Experience Points podcast. It’s always a short podcast, but that’s because Jorge and Scott usually pick a topic, give it a “serious, but not humorless,” [...]

In today’s generation, you are hard pressed to find games that do not have any sort [...]

The harbinger of death, now for the whole family!
Earlier this week, the National Institute for Media and the Family chided Nintendo for losing its family friendly image because Sega is publishing the hyper-violent action title MadWorld exclusively for the system. I first read about this over on USAToday’s Game Hunters blog, and I had [...]

Here in the lovely realm of Communication Studies that I call my home, as well as in the world of some other social sciences, we’re pretty big on stereotypes. Stereotypes give us these preconceived notions that tell us how we’re going to act with other people. Yes, stereotypes are often painted in a negative [...]

I originally wanted to just write a short post on how I was pleased to see that Microsoft was using the Avatars as a system of advertising, but not making it horrifically blatant. I’m just glad I was able to get a top hat and dress my guy up like a geeky, white version [...]

So, apparently I don’t have a good understanding of the word “tomorrow”. I started writing about Prince of Persia monday.
