Being a person with more than my fair share of brothers, multiplayer gaming was very popular in our house. There was only one TV, and only one NES, or SNES, or N64, or GameCube, etc. Whichever it was, we were either going to have to play ...

UPDATE: I totally forgot to mention, this, like my last post, was copied from my personal blog, go take a look, there's a new address so the old won't work. http://azzelog.wordpress.com/ ) Okay, the title isn’t exactly what the post is a...

I love Team Bondi’s and Rockstar’s L.A. Noire. I feel it is an awesome game and a leap forward in emotive storytelling. I also liked the fact that the game was a bait and switch. People expected another GTA style game and they were giving a...

Fellow blogger VenusInFur’s write-up about “Silent Hill: Shattered Memories” got me thinking of other media with more human males. He laments that more male characters aren’t shown being weak, but it’s all I’ve ever really known. This bri...

New episode of Retro Rant is up! Also we're currently searching to be picked up for talent.

*Well, it's official, I've done 3 blogs in 3 days. I'm not normally this prolific, and I doubt I'll keep this rate up for much longer, but for now you can expect a blog a day. Alternatitve title: SO MANY WORDS OK, on topic: I'm going to ...

LA Noire is a game about people, places, connections, humanity and judgement. It’s gone beyond the general call of duty when it comes to video-games and technical innovation, it’s delivered something that may change the f...

Yeah, when my old 60GB backward compatible PS3 died last year, I lost the ability to play the old PS2 Eyetoy dancing game "Groove" on my PS3. I was a sad girl. I was therefore delighted when my husband recently bought me a 360 with the ...

I'm having a very bored hungover Saturday so thought I would give you some unedited thoughts AS THEY HAPPEN of TNA iMPACT. The original TNA for iOS was a weird 2D turn-based wrestling game which I kind of enjoyed. It was a fun diversion, ...

See that price. It's the price of Minecraft right now. It's a price that is plaguing my head at the current moment. I have more than $21.95. Still, it seems like a lot of money for a game that is not even finished. So let me give you some b...

Recent comments made by Howard Stern, an American radio host and prominent ‘shock jock‘, provoked anger in me. I realise how idiotic that sounds -- ’shock jocks’, after all, are apparently dedicated to provoking anger and resentment. Howeve...

So, if any of you paid attention, I posted a blog earlier this week about a few things I was thinking about regarding the supposed end times and how I'd rather see it go down. Included were two links for articles about said event; one ridic...

The visuals in Eve are absolutely gorgeous. Eve Online has been around for quite awhile now, and from what I've read it has come quite a ways. The typical thing you hear is that it is incredibly difficult for a new player to learn the gam...

-May already? Jesus, time flies. That’s good. Looking forward to August and PAX and the first vacation I have had in many moons. Plus the Summer here in Louisiana is not unlike the crotch of morbidly obese man resting comfortably in a T...

There are several articles around the internet talking about how many games today have multiplayer and how many of them are just an afterthought in the developing cycle. Others are just the contrary and we end up with an awful campaign an...

While this week we are basking in the awesomeness of a certain game called L.A Noire, something struck me during the build up to release of the Rockstar/Team Bondi collaboration. Something I probably did not expect and that was reading, wha...

Adventure games are somewhat of a lost art when it comes to AAA titles. Where once they reigned supreme as pretty much the only games around (think: the Sierra years), today they have been relegated to a niche genre position. LA Noire ha...

Well no Eve for a while. Been hitting World of Warcraft with a friend at work. We have blasted our way up to level 30 in a couple of weeks. He heals as a priest and I tank with a Paladin. We do pretty good but we are on break for a little b...

No thanks There is a particular popular gaming trope that has never gelled with me. Escorting. In the real world this word makes me think of a couple of things: High paid, glamorous women of ill repute, cheap women who don't look like the...

May 21 is the End of Days(Click Here) Reading the news and hearing from friends about the event mentioned in the link/article above, I can't help but relate this to video games. Instantly, I think of games like Apocalypse(PS1) and Disast...

After the recent post on the main page about used games (LINK!), I got to thinking: How exactly could publishers turn GameStop's used game empire into a margin of their profits instead of the focus? Because let's face it... Publishers are...

It’s often considered an insult amongst the gaming community. To call someone a “casual” gamer is a way of saying that those people that enjoy the occasional game of Farmville or Words with Friends are less of a gamer than those that devot...

Multiplayer is definitely not the newest idea in the gaming world and it’s online application isn’t even in its infancy, but I’m really starting to feel angry over the lack of proper split-screen or developers bright ideas to tack them on...

Will I fuck!! My card / bank account / money ONLY EXIST for me to use to pay for the stuff I want, the things i want to do and to do so conveniently. It serves no other purpose. I refuse to live my life in fear that someone might steal my...

As creative as an imagination as I've had for years, I always tend to say, I'm so gonna do this, but then I get side tracked and end up not doing something and then some jackass goes and does what I said I was gonna do before I ever get aro...
