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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Two Worlds - Beaten

What a disappointing ending, and I finished it 3 times before I realized the game was really over. I got near the end and fought the big demon guy, that was cool and took a couple minutes to do. Then I went through the gate and started this chat with Gandohar, I didn’t [...]

Drummer not a Singer

I’m much better at drumming than singing apparently, I borrowed a set from a friend of mine who currently has no time to play. Since I had played a few songs on medium back in January I decided to continue on from there. It still takes some getting used to, and my leg [...]

XBox acting up

The Xbox 360 I have at work has been acting a bit strange for the last couple of days. First it started crashing on Two Worlds, but that’s a rather buggy game anyway. It got so bad that it wouldn’t load at all though, so I popped in Rock Band, a recently repaired [...]

Massive Halfling

I just crashed that party again and saw the halfling prince I’m supposed to kill and holy crap that thing is fat. Since when is a halfling bigger than a troll? Maybe I can stuff some diet pills down it’s throat while my minions tear his limbs off. Then the musician caused [...]

More Overlord

Argh! This game needs a map of some kind. I keep running in circles trying to figure out where I’m supposed to go next. They give directions from time to time such as ‘go east and kill this’, but since the view rotates when you move, which way is east?!
Aside from that though [...]

XBox 360: Disc Eater

Someone brought in a used Rock Band to sell yesterday, but the disc had a bunch of bad circular scratches in it and wouldn’t cause some songs to crash the game. It was fixable though, but mint condition games are always easier to re-sell than ones that have been repaired. Scratched games is [...]
