Star Trek Game Moved to Q1 2013
I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Star Wars, but I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Firefly, but I LOVE STAR TREK. I love Stargate, but I LOVE STAR TREK. When I discovered that the Paramount appointment my darling wife Lindsey had on her schedule for last year’s E3 was primarily for a new Star Trek game, I traded her any of my appointments that she wanted to get my ass in that chair. I can’t recall which...[Read More]

Another anticipated title from last year’s E3, however, was Ghost Recon Online. A free-to-play, microtransaction supported online multiplayer PC game, Ghost Recon Online enters closed beta March 5th (you can si...[Read More]

Review: Quarrel (XBLA)
Growing up, I loved playing time-intensive board games. Monopoly? I’m down. Clue? You know it. Risk? At the drop of a hat. I also loved playing word games. Boggle? Oh yeah. Upwords? Of course. Scrabble? I’m a Scrabble fiend… Half a year ago, Quarrel, a beautiful combination of Risk and Scrabble, was released on iOS, and I was instantly enamoured. Now, the original XBLA concept be...[Read More]

Fantastic Four: Season One Now Available
I remember recess being one of the highlights of the day when I was but a mischievous little lad in elementary school. We would run out to the field in a direct line to what we referred to as the “big toy,” and disappear. In our places, the superheroes we loved and adored became reality, battling each other around our “big toy” in clashes of epic proportion that would be sp...[Read More]
Skylanders Follow-up Takes a Giant Leap Forward
I know, that’s a terrible title. We generally go for more informative titles, but I’m feeling a bit saucy and wanted to make a stupid title joke, so sue me.Let’s get to the point. Skylanders was a fantastic game for kids and adults, and has spawned an incredibly powerful addiction to little RFID toys that have resulted in sold out shelves and inflated eBay prices. Only a fool wou...[Read More]
