SubscribeI stumbled upon GamerDNA the other day and thought the concept was pretty neat. Basically it works like Facebook but for the gaming community. One of the activities it uses to build DNA is adding games to a profile, so I took that opportunity to answer the unanswerable: What are my favorite games of all [...]

A Review Experiment
Today I was listening to the latest Giant Bomb Bombcast (which if you don’t already, you really should give it a listen), and I was struck by Jeff Gerstmann’s take on the new Sonic game, Sonic Unleashed. To paraphrase, he didn’t like it, and his reasoning behind that opinion was the game might not have [...]
Page Flippin’: December 22, 2008
For those who say, “print is dead,” I reply:
“…really?”
Just because Ziff-Davis is shuttering its remaining publications like CGW and PC Magazine, and the once-great Electronic Gaming Monthly, or EGM to you young-ins, is anemic to the point of flatlining, doesn’t mean it’s all doom-and-gloom for the rest. Page Flippin’ is going to be a somewhat-regular [...]

A Bad Cliche
I’ve been playing Viva Pinata for the DS over the past week, and I just wanted to reap praise on this little title that could. What, you say, little? Hasn’t Rare’s franchise been in the critical limelight for years already? Yes, and well, I thought the original Viva Pinata game for the Xbox 360 was [...]
A PR Nightmare
Well if this isn’t the neatest idea I’ve seen in quite some time…
TechCrunch has waged war on PR firms and their increasingly disturbing trend of news embargoes. I applaud them for their position, but unless other blogs and publications band together for this, I see it as a lost cause and only hurting them in [...]
Another “How To Fix the PSP” Post?!?
Yes, I’m afraid so. As I mentioned before, Adobe Acrobat and Custom Soundtrack support would be nice. But as I’ve been spending more time with the DS, here’s a few more that have come to mind:
Remove the UMD drive. Sell games on flash memory and via download from the PSN store. That’ll help with battery [...]
Ghosts of Christmas Past – 1998
I had just returned from my parents’ house for Christmas with a goggle (is that a word?) of new N64 games but had made plans to visit my friend in Dayton, OH for New Years. The local news was threatening some imminent snowfall to hit the area in the days ahead, but the forecast at [...]
PSPlease
Ah Sony. Remember a couple of years ago when I wrote how much I liked my PSP, only after loading it with custom firmware? Well, recently I purchased a PS3, and thought with all the cool things it can do with my PSP, I found a way to go legit with it and the Sony [...]
Ghosts of Christmas Past – 1991
It was Christmas Eve, 1991, and some high-school friends of mine all got together during Winter break for midnight mass. After church, one person in the group who worked as a manager at Little Caesars invited about 10 of us all back to his store at the local strip mall, cranked up the ovens and [...]
