Review: SkyDrift (XBLA)

Review: SEGA Rally Online Arcade (XBLA)
I hate racing sim games. I can’t stand Gran Turismo, and I’m not a fan of Forza. There’s one major element in a racing game that I look for before anything else, and unfortunately it is absolutely lacking in the simulation racing genre: FUN. Arcade racing games have that one crucial element in spades, with games like blur, Burnout, Need for Speed, and the classic SEGA Rally serie...[Read More]
Discuss: Overwhelming Lack of Local Split-Screen in Online Multiplayer
I am both blessed and cursed with a wife who enjoys video games as much as I do. I am blessed, because she is my enabler. I don’t have to justify buying video games, consoles, or other electronics to her, because she understands the compulsion, and revels in it. I am cursed, because we only have one gaming setup, which means that we must learn to share time with our games. As only children, ...[Read More]

Last week we had a blast during our Left 4 Dead Community Game Night. It was so much fun we decided to have another one, but this time it will be for the, sadly overlooked, Activision and Bizarre Creations racing game Blur on Xbox 360.

DC Universe Online – Save the World this January
Last month, we took you to the Sony Online Entertainment studio in Austin, TX to get a good, long look at their upcoming action-MMO, DC Universe Online. When the original November release date was pushed to “spring 2011” at the eleventh hour, it left many interested players wondering when they could get their hands on the game (outside of beta). Now, thanks to an IGN interview with Gam...[Read More]

Our Sunday Snafu
Sunday was a crazy day. We were both exhausted from our Anniversary celebration the night before, and I was even more tired because I went to sleep feeling a little sick and with a migraine. That morning, Chris made us a delicious breakfast and then we found out about that fantastic Blur game deal, so we were off to do that. Afterwards we cleaned in preparation for his family member who would star...[Read More]
