I grabbed the demo for Death Tank which is now live on XBLA. The “Worms in real time” concept of this game is appealing, but at first I didn’t think I was going to like it. After playing online for 30 minutes or so and getting used to the controls, I have changed my mind. [...]
I came across these Xbox Live sweat pants in local Kohl’s department store. Most troubling to me was the fact that the pants were sized for adult men, not for kids. I simply cannot imagine an appropriate venue for sporting these gaudy trousers. If anyone out there wants to perpetuate the “gamers = nerds” stereotype, [...]
There was a lot of buzz and speculation this weekend about amazon.com’s big gold box video game sale that took place on Monday. Amazon released clever little clues hinting at which games would go on sale at various time throughout the day. The clue I was most fixated on was for the 6:00p.m. (Central Standard) [...]
The promotional sign in front of Burger King reads, “HEY KIDS WE HAVE WII TOYS!” I’m not hungry, but I go inside anyway and ask the kid at the register if I can buy the toy without buying the kiddie meal. Ninety nine cents he tells me. At first he hands me the Mario Kart [...]
Microsoft and Epic are puffing their chests out with pride over the 2 million copies of Gears of War 2 that sold during the game’s launch weekend, but did anyone else notice that said companies seemed to have stacked the deck in their favor with unusually gracious giveaways? When was the last time you bought [...]
GameStop does not give you a good deal when you sell them your used video games. That may seem like a statement of the obvious, but it’s clear from the amount of used game business the store does that many game-sellers either don’t realize how bad a deal they’re getting from GameStop, or just don’t [...]
Exploration of the post-apocalyptic world begins this morning after Gamestop’s midnight distribution of Fallout 3. With all the great games releasing over the next couple months, you might expect Gamestop would have cause to open at midnight every Tuesday until Christmas. Not so, according to the twenty-something Gamestop employee slinging copies of Fallout 3 this [...]
For the past several months, the only video game I have played has been Halo 3 multiplayer. There literally hasn’t been another disc in my 360 tray since July. Meanwhile, the PS3 and Wii have gathered dust. The funny thing is, I really don’t know how it happened. I used to make fun of the [...]
From a historic perspective, most of the hundreds of video games released every year will be largely forgotten by the masses. There has to be something special about a game for it to become etched in the forefront of gaming history. Lair is one such “special” game.
Whether it deserves it or not, Lair has [...]
Based on the positive buzz it has been getting, and the fact that I have an abundance of Wii points at the moment, I decided to give the new Wii Ware title Lost Winds a try. I was expecting it to be good, and it is, but there is something more. For me, Lost Winds [...]
