    8 Reasons I Quit Playing Facebook Games

    Two years ago, I ranted about the need for more challenge and chance in social games. Since then, the entire gaming industry has drastically changed. If I sound like a broken record on that note, it’s because in a fast-paced, high-tech market, it’s always true (and thus worth reiteration). It seems ...

    Pay-What-You-Like.  You’ve sometimes seen it called Pay-What-You-Want.  You’ve seen it while leaving your local museum or hippy café as a big box that says “Donations.”  You’ve also seen it for Radiohead’s In Rainbows or with Humble Bundle, the collection of indie games offered for however much you’d like to pay ...

    Hardcore and Back Again: Video Games in a Nutshell

    The SNES was a young kid's dream (in the early 90's). Every game felt brand-spanking new, because it was. When video games first came along, "copycats" were neither a logical thing to consider, nor an option. Video games were casual. They were made for mainstream audiences. And back then, even the ...

House of the Dead on the Network of the PlayStation

When visiting The House of the Dead, the question is never “why are these creatures attacking you.” The real question is, you know it’s called “The House of the Dead,” and yet you insist upon visiting anyway, and then you have the gall to act surprised when unspeakable horrors jump out at you. Even if you thought [...]

Xbox LIVE Becomes More Quarrelsome

Liquor tours anew! Er, excuse me. Quarrel is out now! I always get those two things mixed up.

Quarrel players are presented with an 8-letter anagram, and challenged to come up [...]

R.A.W. Video is Actually Full of Post-Production

This isn’t raw video at all! I feel deceived. Granted, it’s a very nice video, with all kinds of action-y role-playing-y fantasy going on, and it looks like a lot of fun, but it’s clearly not a raw video. There are logos, and edits, and all of the earmarks of post-production. Still, don’t let that stop you [...]

House of the Dead Somehow Unaffected by Housing Crisis

For the last four years, property values have been plummeting, and foreclosure rates have skyrocketed. It’s a little baffling, in the face of this turmoil, how the House of the Dead — a terrifying mansion atop a secret occult laboratory, in “fixer-upper” condition at best — continues to attract residents and keep its mortgage. SEGA, [...]
