The best game of 2008

In: Games

I’ll be doing some “Best of” lists over the holidays as I do every year when I look back on the year that was, best comic, best website, best gadget, and best movie are still to come, but this one is an absolute no-brainer.  The best game for 2008 in my opinion totally ran away [...]

PS3 vs Xbox 360

In: Games

I picked up a PS3 a few weeks ago, and I’ve been playing quite a bit of PS3 since then, but I recently installed the New Xbox Experience on my 360, and I have to say that…ummm, wow.
The PS3 is a beautiful piece of hardware, but the 360 is a much better experience overall.

How did games become my new movies?

In: About Me, Games

I don’t know when it happened exactly, but at some point in the last 5 years, I stopped being a huge movie nut, and transferred some of that love over to video games.  I used to read Premiere magazine, and Entertainment Weekly.  I would surf Film Threat, and Cinematical, Rotten Tomatoes was a weekly pilgramige, [...]

Game Review: Star Wars the Force Unleashed

In: Games

Star Wars the Force Unleashed as a game is a good, but not great game.  Star Wars the Force Unleashed as a cannonical movie is incredible.  The gameplay at times is fantastic, but at times so broken and repetitive that it’s almost not worth playing through another level to get to the cutscene and story.
Almost [...]

What I’m playing - the summer edition

In: Games

I managed to get a fair amount of gaming in this summer, much to my wife’s chagrin.  The majority of it is all casual, or quick games that I can play for ten or twenty minute stretches in between all of the other stuff I do, but it’s fun nonetheless.
Here’s my list of games I’ve [...]

How to get a job in web design

In: Games, Internet

I recently hired a junior web designer who will work with me to deliver awesome web projects.
Here’s the thing though, I’ve got pretty high standards, and when I’m looking for someone to work with me, I’m looking for something very specific. I want someone who’s basically a junior version of me, a mini-me if [...]

Initial Thoughts: GTA IV

In: Games

GTA IV is out, I picked mine up on Tuesday, but didn’t get to play it right away. I’ve got a ton of stuff on the go this week, but I decided to make some time to play it anyway Wednesday night.
This is the first new GTA game for the current generation of consoles, [...]

What I played, Q1 2008

In: Games

Since the first three months of 2008 are almost over, I thought I’d go over the games I played this quarter, what got the most of my time, what I liked, what I didn’t, and what rocked my world (pun intended).
Here’s the brief list of the games I played in the first 3 months of [...]

Rock Band: Better with a group

In: Games

I’ve been playing Rock Band off and on since Christmas, and other than one night with the guys, we usually play just Char and I. We have a great little two person band ala The White Stripes going on we’re known as “Chip and the Dips”. The two of us have fun together [...]

So long City of Heroes

In: Comics, Games

Sadly, today I let my City of Heroes account expire. It wasn’t really a tough decision, I just wasn’t playing the game that much, and when I was playing it, I just couldn’t play for as long as was apparently needed to get anywhere.
City of Heroes is a massively multiplayer online role playing game. [...]
