We explore, therefore we are

“My problem with these games is that I end up exploring rather than following the story. And then I just want to keep on exploring.” My husband said to me as he traversed the outskirts of Los Santos in GTA V. I paused and then responded, “Is that a bad thing?” That’s the point with…

To be human these days is a dangerous thing

I’m guessing that many of you have, by now, seen the news about the “Internet outrage” over Carolyn Petit’s  review of Grand Theft Auto V for Gamespot. Some readers went ballistic over her calling the game “misogynistic” and scoring it a 9 out of 10. Mean words and evil thoughts ripped through many of the…

My “Deserted Island” Games — PC edition

Greetings all! It is with a big smile and a heavy heart that I offer up the last post in my “Deserted Island” series. It seems fitting that I end where my gaming really began, on computers. But, I’ll tell you, I’m not going all the way back here to the TRS-80, because I don’t…

Review A Bad Game: Myst (Nintendo DS Version)

There aren’t a ton of games I’ve played where I thought it was absolutely terrible. Part of it has to do with not being a long time gamer and the other being I’ve based most of my game purchases on reviews and recommendations from trusted friends and family. I did, however, make a newbie mistake…

My “Deserted Island” Games — Xbox 360 edition

For Starters, I had the opportunity to speak with Allen White, the Art Director for Smashmuck Champions! This is a game that’s more than just a new entry into the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre,…

The massive scale, the awesome people (seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a more energetic and friendly crowd!), panels, shows, and then there’s the games… holy crap, the games!

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…
