When I sat down to write this article, I went in with the intention of writing an official review. Over the past two days, I’ve spent about 4 hours with the game and made my way through six of the nine levels of Hell. Even though I haven’t finished it, I feel confident that I …

Six reasons I’m excited for Final Fantasy 14 (FFXIV)
I got my PS3 for one main reason: Final Fantasy 14. The funny thing is, when I’ve told people about this, a lot of them think I’m crazy. On friend even asked me if I hated myself that much. Considering the reputation FFXI earned, I’m guess I’m not surprised people would be skeptical. Yet, at …
The PS3 has renewed my single-player love
Over the last year, I’ve spent a good chunk of my gaming time with my Xbox 360. With Final Fantasy 14 on the horizon, and more console MMOs coming to the PS3 and not the 360, I felt that the time was about right to trade-in. It’s kind of ironic, then, that getting the console …
Impressions of the Dante’s Inferno demo
I’m writing this on the fly since I have my sister over today. Forgive any typos, since I’m pretending to be a good multitasker. I’m not. Really. Before we begin, let me get this part out of the way first. Don’t play this game if you have kids in the house Don’t play this game …
What I’m Playing: January 2010
I’m a very touch and go gamer, so a lot of times I find myself forgetting which games I’ve played, how fair of a shot I gave them, and how I felt walking away. So, as we forward through the new year, I thought it might be a good idea to chronicle my gaming. Here’s …
Odds and Ends
It’s been a few days since my last post, so I thought I’d stop in and give you a quick update. My wife has this week off for the holidays, so we’re spending a lot of time together, not leaving much for gaming or blogging. That doesn’t mean nothing’s been happening, however. For example, we …

Nintendo Wii – hated by some, loved by others (and me)
Hey you, stop hating on Wii! (if you do, otherwise carry on) I know to most of the die hard elitist gamers the Wii is technologically speaking “garbage” – the graphics cannot compete with the 360 or PS3 (Obviously, it runs at 480p with the component cables sold seperately) – yet it is the number …
*SPOILERS* Wow’d by the mage tower
This post has spoilers. So, unless you’ve beat the mage tower, don’t read on. 😉 With that out of the way… Last night, I felt the first real pulls of Dragon Age in a serious way. No, I felt the story before and was interested but that mage tower brought it to a whole new …
First Impressions: Dragon Age: Origins (Xbox 360 Version)
My plans for a midnight pick up didn’t quite work out but I was able to snag my copy this morning, just before noon. I eagerly brought it home, applied my codes and downloaded the included bonus content. I even decided to spring for the Warden’s Keep DLC. It’s worth noting that, even though the …
