Blogathon Announcement: And Our Charity is….
Hello there World of Meh! readers. Last month I told you all that we would be doing the Blogathon again this year. I also hinted at what our charity would be. I did get a couple of guesses, but nobody got it right. With sign-ups officially starting on July 1st, I figured I should let you all in on who we have chosen this year. Think you know who it could be? I’m proud to announce that this y...[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]
Review: Blur (X360)
Back in March, I was fortunate enough to grab a code for the Blur multiplayer beta. I tried it out, and enjoyed it immensely, but didn’t play more than a couple of days due to time restraints. Eventually, Blur fell out of my thoughts, and it seemed long forgotten. Forgotten, that is, until yesterday, when Lindsey found this gem. With the opportunity to get a $59.99 game for the low, low ...[Read More]
Missing Monday
Some of you may have noticed that our recent streak of weekday productivity was broken yesterday. Do not take this as a sign of things to come! We had a catastrophe on Sunday (which Lindsey will go into more detail on later in the day), and we had a family member come to stay with us yesterday after a minor surgery, so our attention has, unfortunately, been directed elsewhere. But hey, this cou...[Read More]
Xbox Live Arcade ‘Inventory Blowout’, Deal of the Week, and More!
Now through Tuesday, June 21st, get massive discounts on many Xbox Live Arcade titles. Sadly, we own most of the ones listed so we can’t fully take advantage of this deal, but this is fantastic for those of you who are wanting to expand your XBLA library.
Resident Evil: Afterlife Trailer
Well I’m a little late to the zombie party. Apparently back in April the trailer for the new Resident Evil movie was released, and I’m just now getting around to it. Oops! Resident Evil: Afterlife takes place in Los Angeles. Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, got a tip that LA was a safe haven from the infection, but when she arrives Alice quickly discovers that the entire city has been ...[Read More]
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
Castlevania is one of those series that has stayed with me since childhood. I can still remember playing Simon’s Quest as a kid, then Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow on my GBA Micro, and Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin on my Nintendo DS. The music, the gameplay, the graphics…It’s all still visible with my mind’s eye. And now, with the Konami E3 announcement of ...[Read More]
Portal 2
From the delightful song during the end credits, to the simple, yet absolutely addictive gameplay, Portal was a true gem. Portal was followed by Portal: Still Alive on Xbox Live Arcade, which contained the full original game, 14 new challenges, and new achievements. Portal 2 was announced earlier this year for release in 2010 (delayed to 2011), and E3 has brought us news and videos.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
Earlier this month I talked about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Collector’s Edition. Lindsey and I both played Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on PS2 way back in 2008, and while we both enjoyed it, we both thought it was too short, among other small complaints. Overall, however, it was a great Star Wars game. With Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, many of those complaints...[Read More]
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
I remember my elementary school book fair vividly. My most fond memory of the book fair comes from first grade, where I purchased my first (of many, over the past 20+ years) box set of The Chronicles of Narnia. Unfortunately, I no longer have this set, as it disintegrated with use over the years, but I can still see the box, and the books, in my mind as if they were sitting in front of me right no...[Read More]
Nintendo E3 Press Conference News & Details
The Nintendo E3 Press Conference may be over, but that doesn’t mean the excitement has waned. From the get go, Nintendo blew us away. Reggie Fils-Amie came out to debut a new Zelda game, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and it got fans really excited. We were originally led to believe that a man named Bill would be the one doing the live demo, since Shigeru Miyamoto, a mad genius, seemed like...[Read More]
