Gamer Apathy

Everybody and their brother is going on about the next gen consoles and I can’t help but think “meh.” A lot of people don’t understand this attitude, so I’m going to help explain it based on an overwhelming sense of apathy and the fact that it really doesn’t matter who wins the next console war […]

Steamed! – McPixel

McPixel Current selling price: $4.99 McPixel is…well, very…VERY…weird. It can best be summed up as a WarioWare-like title where there are several minigames, but it’s more than that. You have to find the correct solution based on different items and people to interact with in order to ensure a bomb of some sort doesn’t blow […]

Steamed! – Quantum Conundrum

Quantum Conundrum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg97ZEkqhzE Current selling price: $8.99 So imagine Portal, but instead of using portals to get around, you manipulate gravity, time, density, and various other things. QC is a game that will constantly test your mind, often to the point of frustration, but in such a way that you’ll keep coming back, especially for […]

Steamed! – Recettear

Recettear Current selling price: $19.99 By the point, I’m not sure there’s anyone that exists that DOESN’T have this game, but here goes. Recettear is, at its core, a trading game. It’s also a fun and funny JRPG that has a lot of elements to it such as day planning, dungeon crawling, store management, and […]

Franklin is the Man.

I finally started up GTA V today. I got it for $11 on drop day thanks to some trade ins, but wanted to finish Borderlands 2 before I started it. Once I got past the intro, and intro free-roam mode, the first thing I did was go to the strip club and walk into the […]

RPG of the Year – 2011

I was hoping this year would be a little more eventful and tough to pick a top 5, but it really isn’t. Sure, the top 5 are EXCELLENT and there are a few good runner ups, but there are also a lot of terrible MMOs and poorly thought out mobile games. There are 81 games […]

Sequels I Would Love To See

Sometimes you play the fuck the out of a game to the point that there’s literally nothing else, you’re left still wanting more. Sadly, if there was more, it probably wouldn’t be as good, maybe some tacked on at the last minute DLC or whatever, but what about a sequel? Ahhh, but only if it […]

PatMan Picks Free iPhone Games. Swordigo

  What is going ON, People? PatMan is back again with another fun iOS game that you can pick up for absolutely free, if you download it soon. This time around the game is a great little action/ platformer by the name of Swordigo.  It was 1.99 and now it is free , but for […]

RPG of the Year – 2010

Same rules apply. I’ve cross referenced and double checked all the games on this list to confirm where and when they came out. North American release dates only and if I was unable to play the game, then I can’t count it. Again, I apologize if your favorite game didn’t make the top 5 and […]

Grand Theft Auto Series

GTA has been an interesting series that I’ve had a love/hate relationship with for many years. For many, when they say GTA, they’re referring to GTA3, 4, or possibly something along the line of San Andreas or Vice City. To avoid any confusion, I’m looking at the series as a whole and dishing out what […]
