I am a bit fan of the Dragon Age series and reviewed several of the titles from before such as Origins, Awakening, Dragon Age 2 and even the Facebook game Dragon Age Legends. Generally speaking I have enjoyed every game in the series for different reasons and to varying...

I just noticed in my email a few minutes ago that the latest Humble Bundle breaks from the largely indie offerings they usually have. THQ has had a tough couple of years, but has still also produced a handful of very good games. Several of them can be found in this...

It has been something of a crazy week already. I made myself stay off of PSN last night just so I could work on two new gams I'm trying to sink some serious time into for reviews, Elminage and Dragon Ball Z, but Madden and one of my best friends I'm in a couple of leagues...

I certainly hope everyone had a fun, safe weekend. For those of us in the United States, it also served as a holiday weekend as we celebrated Thanksgiving. This was my first four day weekend in... 2012 I believe? I certainly enjoyed it as I had plenty of food,...

The subject line really says it all for me. I have been incredibly fortunate over the last year (and really, several years now). For me personally, it has been a pretty crazy but entertaining year. I joked last year when I turned 36 that my birthday did not...

Now that I am in this seasonal cycle of updating the look of my blog, it's then time to welcome in an upcoming holiday, and a new color scheme. The white on black is my personal favorite, but I live in a state where it gets very white, very bright and very cold. ...

Good morning.
Just a quick plug for something I noticed this morning, but Good Old Games has a pretty interesting promotion going right now where you can pick 5 games for $10 from a fairly solid list.

A friend of mine recently sent me a weekend invite to try Guild Wars 2 for free. I am hoping to get a chance to do just that, but we will see if time permits. It reminded me of this review I have been meaning to put up for at least two months now, and just had not...

NBA Jam has been around forever. I did a Retro Reflection on one of the earliest console releases, loved it in the arcade and even reviewed the more recent Wii version on this site as well. I am a huge fan of the NBA (and the Pistons in particular). For those...

Just a quick 'good morning' - and I certainly hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was predictably hectic. I knew it would be, but it was a lot of fun too. I got quite a bit of gaming in - the usual suspects with Madden being the primary focus, but I poked...

I have been following Dragon's Dogma pretty much since it was first announced. I play a wide variety of games for the most part (just this week I have been playing a JRPG, a trio of mobile CCG's, a platformer on PSN, an NFL game on my PS3, a FPS on my 360 and an online...

That saying is somewhat stuck in my head as my oldest happened to watch Office Space for the first time on Netflix the other day.

War of the Roses is an interesting title, because it takes a few chances that generally pay off, makes use of perhaps one of the most popular gaming modes on the market right now, and feels like a game with some as of yet untapped potential. So what is War of the Roses? ...
