What, you thought it was a one time thing?
Fable: The Journey Demo Available on Xbox Live
There are very few people who haven’t heard of the classic Fable franchise. I first got hooked during the classic Xbox days with Fable, then on the Xbox 360 with Fable II and Fable III.

The demo for Fab...[Read More]
PAX Prime 2012: RaiderZ
In the leadup, I was working out my PAX Prime 2012 scheduling with absolutely one solid goal: Neverwinter. As long as I could see more Neverwinter, I would count my PAX experience complete. While I did see Neverwinter, and count it as the best thing I saw at the event, I found myself pleasantly surprised at the experience that other games were able to offer me. One that I had not thought to enjoy ...[Read More]
PAX Prime 2012: Loadout
I have no qualms about free-to-play games. I am immediately wary of free-to-play games that are supported by micro-transactions, however.

I will not be kind.” I was guilted (like a boss) into taking the appointm...[Read More]
PAX Prime 2012: Rise of the Triad
~ dipstick<enter> badtrip<enter> homerun<enter> There was nothing quite like running around a Rise of the Triad map under the mind-bending influence of Shrooms Mode while swinging Excalibat around with wild abandon. This is what I did at home almost to the exclusion of all else, and this is what I spent half of my computer classes in junior high school doing. The other half of my...[Read More]
PAX Prime 2012: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
As I’ve said before, I’ve never been a huge fan (or really, any kind of fan at all) of the Metal Gear franchise of games. I find the forced stealth gameplay through extreme punishment for derivation from that gameplay to be contrary to my enjoyment of the experience. I appreciate all that it has accomplished and what it means for its fans, but it’s not a game/series that I can si...[Read More]
