So there I was, watching the Daily Show at about 3am in the morning on a Saturday like I tend to do because I’m mostly conservative and I hate Fox News, and Jon Stewart is funny. Now that I have typed that out, I realize I have particular issues that I need to deal with [...]
Point and click adventures have come back pretty recently in a very strange way thanks to developer Telltale Games. They have actually become the primary reason I have finally jumped on board this type of game thanks to their recent re-release of Lucas Arts’ Tales of Monkey Island. It appears that now that I have [...]
The large percentage of people reading this are those who like to read gaming articles on the internet, they like to stay informed and be a part of a conversation on varying topics within the industry. They tend to seed through all information provided and look for all the latest news and trends, so I’m [...]
You know what makes doing work at home on a computer difficult? Video games. I love video games, and TV, and movies. That’s why I write about them, the problem is, I love them so damn much, that I can easily get wrapped up in them and lose track of time. Which can cut in [...]
Jurassic Park: The Game is a title that has gotten mixed reviews since its release. On one hand, it is made by Telltale Games, a company known for its many excellent titles and its adept ability at re-introducing the mainstream market to the point and click adventure game.

However, To The Moon has more talented people involved, a better budget, and is a game [...]

The leading contributor to the buzz on the film was George Lucus’ claim in an interview with Jon Stewart, that Hollywood wouldn’t back the production because [...]
Record of Agarest War Zero is a prequel to the ever-popular game, Record of Agarest War. This Role-Playing Game (RPG) has some elements that work well, while there are others that don’t. As far as RPGs go, there are two main types. The first are games which cut directly to their gameplay, making all their [...]
It is funny to me how every time I hear the word “casino” I can’t help but think about George Clooney, Brad Pitt and the Ocean’s Eleven team getting ready to make their outstanding heist; sometimes I just think about that old woman lurking Phoebe, from the TV show “Friends,” at the slot machines when [...]
I have long been a fan of Starz’s Spartacus, the performances and the plot told within a story so violent and adult is a god send to someone like me who has never quite understood our culture’s aversion to nudity, sex, and all things inexplicably Roman. While the show itself has had its detractors thanks [...]
Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure was likely on everyone’s christmas list. At least, everyone with a seven-year-old who fell for merchandise driven gimmicks. Skylanders, by Toys for Bob (not kidding, Activision partnered with a company called Toys for Bob), has the unique gimmick of having little action figures that can be used to control different characters in [...]
