Two games from the original Sly Cooper trilogy down, one more to go. That’s right, everyone, I have just started Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. I am writing this particular post two hours into the game rather than just the usual hour, and…I’m not quite sure what to say yet. Okay, first off, this game…

How Have You Changed?
Do you feel like you’ve changed as a gamer? Not in terms of the amount of time playing games or other cursory elements like that. We’ve all had changes in our lives that have caused us to shift our gaming habits. I mean do you, at your core, feel like you’re a different type of player than you…
The Physical Disc or a Digital Copy.
Recently–as in last year, I conducted a poll on my twitter account about which people prefer; the physical disc or a digital copy of a game. While this is by no means, a professional statistic, I did find it interesting that the poll tied. There are many pros and cons to both choices and I…
Newcomer Alert: The Completion of Sly 2: Band of Thieves
I am now officially halfway through the Sly Cooper series! I recently completed Sly 2: Band of Thieves and have gotten 100% both in the game itself and in collecting all of its lovely trophies. If only these were real trophies, I’d have quite the collection by now. Since my last update, I completed both…
Newcomer Alert: Halfway Through Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Well, I’m now 49% through Sly 2: Band of Thieves and have recently started chapter 5. I explored a nightclub in Paris and defeated its owner, Dimitri the iguana (since when are iguanas purple?), the first member of the Klaww Gang (which I’m certain bears no relation to Klaww from Jak 1…). I braved the…
Growing Up as a Gamer and Why I Don’t Enjoy DK64 Anymore
As the years go by, our tastes change. We grow out of cartoons and toy cars and dolls, and we become, well, more sophisticated, in a way. Video games are no exception. For many of us, we end up looking over our game collections years later and finding games that, while we loved them as…
Newcomer Alert: Initial Thoughts on Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Now that I’ve completed the very first Sly Cooper game, I can safely say the series is starting to grow on me, and it was with much excitement that I began the second game in the original trilogy, Sly 2: Band of Thieves. I am currently an hour into the game, and though that may…
Newcomer Alert: The Completion of the First Sly Cooper
I’ve done it, I’ve completed my first Sly Cooper game (at a baffling 83%; I did get 100% of the PS3’s trophies for the game, however)! I found all clue bottles and opened all safes. I…never really used any of the extra moves I learned in those safes, but still. It was a satisfying feat,…
Newcomer Alert: Halfway Through the First Sly Cooper
It’s time for my next Sly Cooper update, everyone, as I work my way through the Sly Collection on the PS3! I’m now 53% through the first game, which seems like a perfect spot to update my thoughts. Well, I have defeated Sir Raleigh the frog in Wales and Muggshot the bulldog in Mesa City,…
Newcomer Alert: Initial Thoughts on Sly Cooper
More often than not, I come late to a popular game or series, sometimes as much as 10, 15, or even 20 years after its release. Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VII, the Ratchet and Clank series, just to name a few. As a result, I often feel at a disadvantage when other people are discussing…
