Review: The Beatles: Rock Band

Paul does not need a fur coat with that beard

I have been surrounded by music lovers my entire life. My father gave me my first guitar, and my uncle, who lives across the street, hung his classic LPs across the walls of his basement. I’ve always had an appreciation for good classic rock because [...]

Review: Batman: Arkham Asylum (X360)

Ha! More like "The CHOKER."

Go back through the annals of gaming history and I’m sure you’ll find a long standing trend in which games created from licensed properties have generally not been well accepted or well made. So the first murmurs about Batman: Arkham Asylum didn’t inspire too much excitement in me. But as [...]

The Mii Effect – Ripples in a Pond

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 [...]

Groundhog Day

I don’t know why I do these kinds of things to myself. I know full well that I am not going to like a game, but I play it anyway, and continue playing it. However, as a part of my quest to play the big name titles of 2008 I never got around to, [...]

Hero’s Best Friend

Fable 2 managed to grab me because of its world, and that kept me interested in the story, which got me involved with the characters, namely, my fellow Heroes. Or, at least I tried to get involved with them. Since the support characters are very sparse, and exist only within the story based missions, [...]

Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (The Caulk of the Walk)

[Again, late to the draw, but Gamefly sent it out, I finished it, and again feel the need to post my opinion. The results are as follows. Fanboy disclaimer: I love Star Wars, but I think that’s mostly a prerequisite for playing this game, so I feel that kind of bias is necessary for this [...]

Review: Fallout 3 (Three Dog is my Homeboy)

[I know I’m a little late in the game here as far as reviews go, since anyone who is anyone has already posted theirs, but I feel as though my thoughts on the game have to go somewhere, and this is my place for musings on games. After finishing a conversation with my friend Josh [...]
