Hellgate London

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how Hellgate London didn’t turn out as good as people had hoped. “It was fun for a while”, “I regret paying for a lifetime sub”, that sort of thing. Up until now I hadn’t even tried the game, being too busy with the 360 and not [...]

Even Free isn’t Enough?

I guess I really am just burned out on MMO’s these days, even with EQ2 being free I find I hardly ever log in to play. A friend is into Age of Conan and plans to give me a buddy key whenever they finally start handing them out, but that isn’t really high on [...]

Still Banging the Drum…

… in Rock Band that is. After finishing the solo tour on medium I had started working on hard but quickly found I couldn’t get very far. I went back to medium to work on getting 5 stars on all the songs, this went pretty smoothly and I’ve now 5 starred all but [...]

Blue Dragon: XBox 360

Since I finished Lost in just 5 days I still had 2 days remaining on the rental. I brought it back to swap it for something else on Sunday for the remaining time. I decided to go with Blue Dragon, I hadn’t been overly fond of the demo but so far I’m really [...]

EQ and EQ2 free for 60 days

If you’ve ever had an EQ1 or EQ2 account but currently aren’t subscribing, SOE wants you back and they’re going to give you 60 days for free. On top of that they’re giving free access to all expansions currently available. That doesn’t mean much to me for EQ2, since I had bought RoK [...]

Lost: Via Domus

This weeks new game was Lost: Via Domus. I love the TV series and follow it every week so I figured this should be a decent game to check out. I’m sure glad I didn’t buy it though, in less than a week I’ve finished it and gotten the full 1000 gamer points. [...]

More KuF: CoD

I unlocked several achievements in Circle of Doom yesterday. Killed a couple of bosses, stole all their loot, synth’d an item 10 times, got a 20 hit combo with a bloodlust weapon and reached level 40 with my first character. Monsters in video games just have no idea about weight loss I guess, [...]

My first Laugh with GTA IV

So my car blew up and I jacked the nearest thing I could find and took off on my merry way to try and finish off the mission I was on. When turning a corner I heard someone screaming. When grabbing some air over a small hill, I heard someone screaming. That’s [...]

Circle of Doom

So this weeks rental game is Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. I tried the demo and it seemed fairly interesting, there’s a general lack of hack & slasher RPG types on the 360 so I figured the full game would be worth a shot. So far I’m finding it a little dull, [...]

Saga

I’m up to level 7 now in Saga and the level 7 quests I have access to are starting to kick my ass. I chose the ‘War’ nation which is populated mostly by orcs. Now I don’t know what the best wrinkle cream on the market is these days, but damn if these [...]

Gaming on Multiple Computers

I mostly game at home on my xbox 360, lately anyway, I used to be mostly into PC games but for the last few months I haven’t found much that I felt like playing. I did start playing Saga recently though, and since the requirements aren’t super high I copied it onto my flash [...]

GTA IV after a Week

My opinion of the game has vastly improved during the last week or so. I still hate the ‘realistic’ vehicle controls but it doesn’t become an issue very often now, I’ve learned to just drive slower. It’s a bitch when trying to lose the cops though, or when chasing down some asshole that [...]

GTA IV - Realism Getting out of Hand

I rented GTA IV yesterday and so far I don’t see what all the fuss is about. It’s dark, it’s a bitch to control, the camera angles suck ass when driving around corners. Maybe I should dump the story and just run around jacking cars for a while, it might be more interesting [...]
