Review: LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (X360)
Last Friday, Chris and I rented the recent title to hit the LEGO video game franchise, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4. I guess you could say I’m a fan of the LEGO game series. I played through LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for regular Xbox, and then we got LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the 360. Months ago we rented LEGO Batman, but weren’t impressed. P...[Read More]
Dragon Age 2
Back in 2009, BioWare released a game called Dragon Age: Origins. Since that time, it has been enhanced with four playable DLC packs and a full on expansion pack (not in that order). Come to think of it, we may have mentioned them before. Today, BioWare announced Dragon Age 2, coming to us sometime in March 2011. Dragon Age 2 introduces a new character to the Dragon Age world: Hawke. From the ...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins Leliana’s Song (X360 DLC)
Back in June, during the excitement of E3, BioWare announced new DLC on the way for Dragon Age: Origins titled Leliana’s Song. Of course I was excited, but after the semi-bland Darkspawn Chronicles, Chris was very apprehensive. On Tuesday morning, the day of launch, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new DLC, but I also was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed. From watching the...[Read More]
Review: Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air (PC)
Today, I spent a good portion of my time playing, and completing, Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air by PlayFirst. Well before the game was released, I knew I wanted to play it. I’m a huge fan of hidden-object games, so the recent installment to the Dream Chronicles franchise was a must-have. I will admit that The Book of Air is the first Dream Chronicles game I’ve ever played, so I was...[Read More]
The Death of a Genre
Not all stories have happy endings. Once upon a time, so called “spoof” films were intelligent, well-written, relevant, and genuinely funny. Some parody films have become classic films in their own right. Films such as Blazing Saddles, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Naked Gun, and Airplane! have provided phrases that are still quoted to this day, decades after they were released. ...[Read More]
Real Names for Blizzard Forums
In some ways, the Internet is like a medieval fantasy story. The incompetent fools provide entertainment for the savvy much like a jester would for a king. Websites build nations of loyal followers who take a fierce pride in their group, much like a king’s subjects would have pride in their kingdom. Helpful communities provide assistance and guidance with technical issues in the way a shi...[Read More]
2010 Xbox Live Summer of Arcade
Last month, E3 announced a few details for the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade games we could expect to see this summer, only one of which am I visibly excited for. While we have been in the dark over the last few weeks as to when we could get our grubby little paws on some of these titles, our long, dark tea-time of the soul finally has an expiration date set. Release dates and pricing have just bee...[Read More]
Street Fighter High
It’s been about a week and a half since I posted anything (I’ll explain why in a post later this week), but I knew I would be remiss if I did not make this post now. Back in May, I wrote about two Street Fighter fan films I found on the internet. They were released within two days of each other, and were both very respectable efforts, to be sure. What I missed, however, to both my d...[Read More]
Thank You Activision!
Alright friends of Meh, I promised that today we would be getting something special in the mail for our One Love for Chi/Blogathon fundraiser, and it’s here! Originally the delivery was slated to arrive around 3 in the afternoon, so I was surprised when the FedEx guy came around 11. Each box weighs about 26 pounds, and it reminded me of the days when I worked at GameStop as an Assistant Mana...[Read More]

More packages are expected any day now, so check back often!** Hey there readers! So I know that on July 1st we were supposed to start with our Blogathon fundraiser, but there was an issue with their site and servers. We were told to wait until Monday, and it’s...[Read More]
Review: Chocolatier: Sweet Society (FB)
For the past 48 hours, I’ve been binging on Chocolatier: Sweet Society by PlayFirst for Facebook. I’m already hooked, and I know that no good can come of this. I know, it was only a couple of weeks ago where I ranted about people playing games on Facebook, but I stayed true to my word and I haven’t been flooding my friends with status updates. Had I chosen to do that, my friends ...[Read More]
