Dark Knight the new Bioshock? And other news…
Posted on August 24, 2009 | 2 CommentsJust got back from a weekend down in southern California where I totally forgot that Blizzcon was being held. I take it as a compliment to my evident geekiness that I got asked multiple times if that was what I was down there for, though.... -
The Dark Knight rides again
Posted on August 15, 2009 | 1 CommentSo I just got finished checking out the Batman: Arkham Asylum demo, and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I’d heard this game had potential, and now I’m seriously excited for its release. Combat is visceral and smooth, once you get the hang of... -
Review – The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
Posted on July 27, 2009 | No CommentsSomewhere in the last year or two, video games had their 2oth birthday. Now, I’m not referring the anniversary of the creation of Pong’s ancestors or anything quite that Genesistic. It wasn’t until the mid eighties or so that games really started taking off and... -
iTouch, Therefore I Game
Posted on July 26, 2009 | No CommentsSo I had a birthday recently, and found myself the fortunate recipient of an iPod Touch. Besides the fringe benefits of no longer feeling technologically inadequate, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find that the device is quite the respectable gaming platform. And I’m not just... -
Classic Review – Call of Juarez
Posted on July 15, 2009 | 3 CommentsDust rises in swirling cyclones, whisping over the hot desert. A man in a black hat surveys the horizon, his sweat-beaded face rough with stubble and pinched in gritty grittishness. His horse nibbles a cactus in the background and his spurs jingle in cliché harmony... -
Review – Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason
Posted on May 20, 2009 | 1 CommentPerhaps it was the money I got from selling books. Perhaps it was the wave of B-game euphoria I got from playing Alien Shooter. Perhaps it was just late and I wasn’t thinking clearly. Whatever the reason, I bought Cryostasis. I knew it wasn’t going... -
ROFLCOPTERS
Posted on May 17, 2009 | No CommentsIn yet another sign that gaming is going mainstream, “noob” has the the honor of becoming the 1,000,000th word in the English language. While this story is a bit lollerskates, it could have dire consequences for the gaming community. If people everywhere begin calling each... -
Windows 7 coming in October?
Posted on May 1, 2009 | 1 CommentWindows 7 might be released this fall. I’m excited for this. I currently have the beta installed on my computer, and it’s has some pretty sweet features. Best of all, it won’t require much in the way of hardware or software updates, so the transition... -
Preview – Star Wars: The Old Republic
Posted on April 26, 2009 | 1 CommentI’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m not a huge fan of mamorpaguhs (otherwise known as World of Warcraft). I’ve tried a few times. I gave WoW a whirl once just to see if I could understand what all the hype was. I... -

Posted on April 20, 2009 | 1 CommentA new game review on Duality? A game reviewed by the Blade nigh a week after said game has been released to the wild? Such punctuality is a thing unheard of. Enjoy the timeliness of content while it lasts, faithful followers. My funding will only... -
Review – Alien Shooter: Vengeance
Posted on April 14, 2009 | No CommentsI haven’t gone out on a limb and purchased a game I don’t know much about for quite some time. Back when I first got into games, I didn’t know anything about ratings or which developers could be relied upon to serve up a good... -
Review – F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Posted on April 2, 2009 | 1 CommentSo, in general, I'm not a big fan of the horror genre, in any medium. On a surface level, I just don't enjoy horror movies and books. Having the pants scared off of me just doesn't fall under the heading of 'fun' in my big book of things that I do. -
Pirates, File-Sharing, and the End of All Joy and Happiness
Posted on February 23, 2009 | 6 CommentsSo let’s just get this out in the open. I’m a pirate hater. I’ve been known to launch into verbal tirades when confronted with those nefarious types who download illegally. I’ve even killed my share of them by tracking them down and firing explosive computer viruses to their IP addresses. -

FEAR the sequels
Posted on February 5, 2009 | 1 CommentIn spite of the lack of new appearances on the gaming scene, however, there have been two events of note—the release of the FEAR 2 demo and the Dawn of War II multiplayer beta.
