My “Deserted Island” Games — Xbox edition
It registers now as kind of odd to me now that we never had an Xbox since we were so on top of the video game consoles of the time. But a close friend of ours owned one, and it was open to use whenever we wanted, so we never actually needed one. I also…
My “Deserted Island” Games — Playstation 3 edition
Around this time a year ago, our Playstation 3 died. During a round of Sleeping Dogs, the console just quit and started in with the blinking red light — the deadly “red light of death.” We tried to get the thing up and running again to no avail. And since it died with the game…
Review a Bad Game: Resident Evil: Survivor
It is safe to say that in the year 2000, Resident Evil was riding pretty high. A successful trilogy had been released on the Playstation, the high quality sequel Code Veronica just debuted on the Dreamcast, and a big-budget movie was in the works. To sweeten the deal, a spin-off from the main series had…
Review A Bad Game: Epic Mickey 2
I wanted so much to enjoy Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. I wanted to become re-immersed in a fantastical, alternative vision of the Disney universe. I wanted to spend tons of time with Mickey Mouse and his merry band of toons searching for ways to save to save the world and maybe sing a song…
Review a Bad Game: Porky Pig’s Haunted Holiday
No matter how skilled you are at picking good video games, once you amass enough of them, you invariably end up with some downright rotten ones. So when preparing for this post, I listed by console the games I have that are no good. After marking out the ones that are really should be categorized…
Everyone Plays Video Games
A strange thing has been happening around my workplace: people are playing video games during their free time. Not just the usual two or three of us who bring our DS to work, but everyone seems to be hunched over their phones and computer screens, clicking or swiping away at little stacks of sweets. That’s…
My “Deserted Island” Games — Playstation/Playstation 2 edition
It wasn’t until I met my husband that the PlayStation came in to my life. He was knee-deep in Sony territory when we met. Though I was knee-deep into Nintendo, we somehow still managed to make things work. Anyway, he had amassed a large collection of PS games, some of which he didn’t play very…
My “Deserted Island” Games — Wii edition
After several months of waiting and waiting and watching, we got the Wii for one primary reason: the promise of motion control. As the household Nintendo-backer, I remained firmly skeptical up the day we bought the thing, however. I was happy enough with the Gamecube, which I wasn’t playing all that often anyway, and I…
My “Deserted Island” Games — Nintendo DS edition
I really can’t even begin to describe just how attached I was to my DS. Short of playing a borrowed Gameboy way back when, the DS was the first handheld gaming device I owned. And man, did I OWN it. That little white box went everywhere with me. It became the savior of public transportation,…
VIRTUAL BASTION
