    While this blog will largely revolve around everyone’s favorite genre of video game (I’m only kidding, settle down) which is of course the First Person Shooter (FPS) it certainly isn’t an issue exclusive to this style of game. It’s... More

    I’m sitting here watching the final episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of the series, but it is one of the few shows that I watch regularly. The component I like most about the game is also the component... More
  • Remembering a Classic...

    Every now and then I remember a particularly special game from the past that was revolutionary at the moment, but over time its popularity declined until it was eventually forgotten. Most gamers probably have never even heard of the game I’m about... More

    I usually shy away from blogging about news related stories. There are far too many game sites and bloggers that cover this subject matter, and I’m sure they are more proficient at it than I am. But I came across a story that I haven’t seen... More

    A History lesson, if you will…but hopefully if History wasn’t your favorite subject in school, you’ll at least stay entertained with this blog long enough to survive the extent of my rambling. No matter how long you have been a “gamer”... More

    Sometimes I never truly understand the inspiration for my blogs or at least the topics that I blog about. There are times when it is obvious – like when there is breaking news or when I talk about a particular game – but sometimes I get a... More

    As kind of a follow up to yesterday’s blog about how users of the iPod, iPad, Xbox and/or Playstation were being diverted and distracted from more important endeavors, I decided to tackle an interesting question. I made a comment in one of my blogs... More

    I don't do this very often...so please bear (or is it bare?) with me. We interrupt this normally scheduled blog for a gamer rant. I’ve been around long enough to know there are certain topics you just don’t talk about. Religion. Politics... More

    As you know, or hopefully know…today is Mother’s Day…so as I set out to write a blog, I wanted to keep that in mind and possibly make it the theme…but I quickly realized of all the character types we have witnessed in our video... More
  • Everybody Loves Surprises...

    A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about how I didn’t like scary games…surprisingly, I wasn’t alone as a number of the replies indicated a similar attitude. Today I’m going to blog about surprises. I love surprises. And by surprises... More
  • When Bad Really Means Bad...

    I was at Best Buy tonight…not really looking for anything in particular but scanning the racks of PC games to see if something might have snuck under the RADAR. You can usually tell which games are good (or not) by the price. A sub $20 game is... More

    I always love the blogs or forum threads that debate the superior platform. They tend to start off unbiased and you think you’re going to read an impartial piece, but by the midway point the praise (or criticisms) of one platform start coming out... More
