Now, I don’t usually like to write about gear and gadgets unless I’m being paid off. And I’m not. Unfortunately.
But because a number of very cool things have recently fallen into my possession, I feel the need to endorse them a little bit because…well…they’re friggen awesome.
I have to link to ThinkGeek for this awesome device: the static electricity eliminator. Now, ten bucks might seem a little expensive for a key chain type product, but hell, I’m thinking about getting ten of them period. Basically, you touch this darling to things …

It’s almost to the point where there is not enough time to play all the games that come out. Right now I am going strong with Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect and Devil May Cry 4. There are so many coming out this year that I want that I might just have to find more time to play games
Confirmed to be arriving this year for the Xbox 360 were a number of high-profile titles, including Too Human, Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Fable 2. A lot …

Call of Duty 4, I think I like it
I am going to say something surprising here. I like Call of Duty 4. OK, that may be an understatement, and most people should already know that.
But I am not talking about the on-line part of the game, which is good but I am starting to tire of it. And this is coming from someone who played thousands of Call of Duty 3 matches on Xbox Live, mostly on the poisson level. I mean spending an entire night playing on just …

Some would argue that if God had intended man to play Guitar Hero on PC that he would have included a damn current-gen wireless controller with the package.
Those people are probably right, but the die-hard PC gamer that I am, I was willing to overlook the wired X-plorer controller (complete with the bloody X-box logo on it!) that came with the PC set.
What I couldn’t get past was the constant crashes, the poor online community, and the overall glitchy feel to the game. Even with patches, painful calls …

Anyone who knows me knows I love the game Dead Rising by Capcom, even though the whole ‘text is too small’ thing. Well now the people who own the right to dawn of the dead are trying to sue them. They should die.
“It appears as though the ongoing squabble between Capcom and and the owner of the film rights for Dawn of the Dead (both versions), which started back in 2006, is far from dead. The MKR Group, who owns the rights for both the original George A. Romero classic, …

This game just looks like it will either be absolutely fantastic, or a complete bore. I know I will be playing it to find out myself, anyone else going to pick it up?
It’s been a long wait, but Spore is nearly here. Will Wright, one of the game industry’s most fertile minds and the creator of the groundbreaking SimCity and The Sims, said Tuesday that his biggest project yet will be released worldwide Sept. 7.
Even though the premise sounds daunting (the game was originally called SimEverything), Wright said that it …

I just found this site, and it looks alright. Although I do not play anything besides RTS games on a computer, I think I will continue to check it out. What do you think about this site? Link is to an article I liked disscussing graphics vs. narrative.
“This wordthink originally appeared in the Escapist. It’s an exercise in tackling the graphics vs narrative argument, which perhaps occasionally lapses into cliche. As you’ll see as you read through, I don’t necessarily agree with all my arguments – it was written in …

Ever wondered why Mario is, well… Mario? Just like you and I have a story of how we came into existence, so do our two-dimensional video game favorites. Here’s a tribute to some of our faithful flat friends with whom we all have logged many an un-moving hour.
