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]
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]
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]
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]
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]
Resident Evil: Revelations 3DS Trailer
So I was browsing around this gaming press site I am a member of, looking for press releases and what not, and all of a sudden I saw this little blurb about a Resident Evil trailer for Nintendo 3DS. Oh reallllllly….. Resident Evil has always been a favorite for me, but they lost me with RE:5. I just wasn’t feeling it, but I think Revelations might be something pretty awesome. The trail...[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]

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]
