Dungeon Defenders: This is MY house

I was going to celebrate the end of bad movie month by reviewing a bad movie, just for old times sake, but then decided that I’ve had quite enough of that, thank you very much.  I mean, when was the last time I reviewed an honest to god VIDEO GAME?  As someone who is a [...]

Plants Vs. Zombies: Aim for the shins

Okay, I’m gonna do a shorter game review for today, because there are too many shenanigans going on.  The shenanigans aren’t important for the purposes of this review.  Well, except for the fact that ants are apparently hell bent on living in my keyboard for some reason.  There may be frequent pauses as I, ahem, [...]

Free to Play: Incomplete entertainment

Don’t know how many of you out there have been paying attention, but several free-to-play games launched on Steam this month. Four games launched in one chunk, with Champions Online, Spiral Knights, Global Agenda and Forsaken World taking the stage first, and Valve’s ever-popular Team Fortress 2 joining in shortly after.  The first chunk of [...]

Terraria: More like Metroidcraft

Portal 2: This one’s for science

Stronghold: A series of games that I hate

This post may or may not make much sense to anyone outside my head.  That’s okay by me, I am waaay beyond the point of caring now.  I’m feeling a bit delirious and unsure if I might throw up sometime in the next 12 minutes, and to offset this unfortunate turn of events I spent [...]

Civ5: It’s good to be the king

It’s been a while since I could do any straight up PC gaming, but I finally had a chance to pick up Sid Meier’s Civilization V (or five, for those of you who don’t speak Roman) this weekend.  As someone who has been playing Civ games since I was too young to really understand what [...]
