I did not give Defense Grid a full review, but it was part of my lengthy examination of the Steam Potato Sack deal. I gave a quick review of the game, stating that it was one I was particularly fond of. I also have this game on my Xbox 360, having acquired it prior to the Potato Sack bundle.
The game's premise is pretty simple - it is a futuristic...

Gaming thoughts 1/29/12 - what I'm up to
This is going to be a long post. I appreciate anyone with the fortitude/interest/lack of anything better to do that sticks with it, and fully understand those who do not.

For those unfamiliar with the board game - well.. come out from...
Next gen Xbox won't support used games?
So, I recall when a topic like this came out for the PS3 a long time ago, about how they were trying to patent some new technology that would prevent gamers from using a 'used' disc on another PS3 system to combat the used game marker.

King's Bounty: Crossworlds - PC Review
This is not going to be a full-fledged review. Why? Well, I thoroughly reviewed King's Bounty: The Legend here. And the thing is, this game feels very much like that one. It uses the same graphics engine, it uses the same basic soundtrack and the controls are the exact same....
