SimCity Announce Trailer

I love the SimCity Franchise. Sure it has had it’s up’s and downs. It has been over shadowed by it’s cousin The Sims, but it’s the Maxxis franchise that started it all. This trailer just gives us a glimpse, but it has me wanting  to see more. So are you looking forward to building cities […]

Etrian Odyssey

General Overview Etrian Odyssey is a game neither for sissies or those expecting instant gratification. It’s “rape me in the ass” difficulty presents the player with ever-frustrating floors that increase seemingly exponentially in difficulty and prides itself on forcing you to grind as well as deal with constant trial and error. While it may not […]

Medal Of Honor Sequel News

Then it came out…and I was thoroughly disappointed. Seriously, […]

Down On The Bot Farm

Uh oh looks like someone is screwing with the app store. According to this news post from Joystiq. People are employing a bot service to alter game rankings. First off, I’m surprised we don’t hear about this more than we do. iTunes and the app store are a crowded market to break into. As someone […]

Under the Scope – Stealth in Videogames

For me, stealth is a very mixed bag. I really appreciate games that allow you to use stealth, but don’t completely shove it down your throat with unnecessary and unforgiving trial and error sequences. The early Splinter Cell games were a perfect example of this in action. It’s very hard to get stealth “right,” especially […]

5 Things I Hate About Skyrim

Skyrim has hit most gamers’ Game of the Year for 2011, if not their personal top 10 list. In saying that, I must admit it’s one of the finest games I’ve ever played. There are a few problems, however, that could have been ironed out to make the game even more fantastic and unfortunately these […]
