I have a love-hate relationship with gaming these days. As I’ve gotten older and my free time has been eroded by the demands of adulthood and my own bull-headed ambitions, I’ve become more picky about the titles I play. Nowadays, I shy away from the expansive digital game worlds that implore you to explore them…
As the launch date of World of Warcraft Classic rapidly approaches (whoa, is it mid-August already?), I find myself getting excited to dip my toes into Blizzard’s reincarnation of their megalithic MMORPG smash-hit. November’s WoW Classic announcement definitely piqued my interest, but ultimately, I was ambivalent. At the time, August 2019 was far away, and I…
I’ve always liked video games. I’m not exactly sure when I started playing them or what my first video game experience was, but video games have always played some sort of prominent role in my life. Over the 25 years I’ve lived thus far, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on gaming software and hardware, played…
Anyone who has played World of Warcraft will admit to the game’s undeniable, alluring charm. That coin jingle every time you loot a corpse. That dopamine-inducing yellow beam of luminous light upon leveling up. Those iconic sights and zones that serve as friendly reminders of all the time spent – for better or worse – in the…
Despite garnering the attention of gaming sites everywhere for being plagued with various glitches and bugs, I’m having a hell of a time with Battlefield 4. Bad Company 2 was the game that really made me fall in love with the series. It was intense, chaotic, and loud, with soldiers screaming and cursing loudly set to a backdrop…
BioShock Infinite seems like a pretty swell game so far. I was late to the party with the original, but after catching up, I found it to be one of the best modern-day single-player shooters out there. BioShock brought plenty of creativity to the table, with hulking Big Daddies and the awe-inspiring, DNA corrupting plasmids.…
After posting a rather lengthy write-up about my hopes and fears for the Gears: Judgment release yesterday, I got a good amount of time in with the game’s multiplayer. Such a good amount of time, in fact, that I put off doing this post until now – probably a good sign, eh? Well, yes and…
So, here’s something exciting – Gears of War: Judgement comes out tomorrow! Wasn’t that fast? First of all, let me get something straight, especially because I don’t think I’ve ever written about Gears before on this blog. I friggin’ love Gears of War, but I’ll be honest here, because the series doesn’t exactly deserve applause all…
So, while I was trying to figure out just how I would tackle my seemingly insurmountable school workload, Activision announced a new TMNT game. Why am I never around when these things happen? Luckily, I saw a tweet about it, did a quick google search, and was presented with this: Now, obviously I’m a big…
The final chapter, the final confrontation – the final moments of a legendary hero. On this week’s backlog update – this is Metal Gear Solid 4. BUT FIRST! Roll out the obligatory numbers. This week’s stats: Last week’s stats: Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) I’ve gone on and on in previous blog posts about how…
