I went out last weekend and did a little video-game shopping. While I occasionally punctuate breaks in Halo3 with bouts of Rock Band, I do sometimes crave more singular adventures. So I rifled through the cheap bin at the local EB and picked up Dark Messiah Might and Magic Elements for $29.99. “Dark Messiah of [...]
Remember when the Xbox 360 first came out? Remember how excited you were about the cool new interface? It looked so next-generation with all those panels whizzing around. I believe there were even a few people who said, “I can’t believe this is a Microsoft product it’s soo good”. Two years (and several replacements) later, [...]
No, no, it’s still kinda broken… Worse, I tried watching The Bourne Ultimatum on the HD-DVD player and it crapped-out halfway through the movie. There was an available update for the HD-DVD player which I didn’t dare apply because of all the wonkiness. After some cursing and wringing of the remote, I pulled the disc [...]
Well, sort of. We were still having some issues with it last night, but prod and I were able to sign in (and stay signed in) until the wee small hours playing Halo. I made it to level 30 in Team Doubles! So, thanks Major Nelson and the hard-working team(s) at Microsoft’s super-sekrit Xbox LIVE [...]

Prod and I managed to play a couple games of Virtua Fighter 5 before getting unceremoniously dropped from Xbox Live. At first I figured it was local network problems [...]
This year, especially the latter half of it has been a big one for gamers. Halo 3 made its long-awaited appearance on the Xbox 360. Bioshock was a bit of a surprise hit with its grim, art deco design and creepy atmosphere. Mass Effect from BioWare is a great scifi RPG. Call of Duty 4 [...]
Me’n’my posse have picked up a new game for the xboxes called Forza2. We played the first version of the game and was pretty impressed with the gameplay and physics, but the game sort of petered-out for us because the online game didn’t really have a great mechanism for balancing cars. The new game allows [...]
Back in the ’90s, there were two games for me that represented everything a video game should be. They should be cute and utterly, unapologetically violent with a degree of frustrating difficulty. The first of these games was the now legendary “Lemmings”. Debuted on the Amiga in 1991 (ref. wikipedia), it was some time before [...]
