I spent almost all of last week talking about video games. I talked about games on podcasts, via IM conversations, on Xbox Live, and I even forced my husband to listen to my diatribes about video games. I showed him trailers and I paced the living room and made wild hand gestures. Honestly, I’m incredibly… Read More »
Saints Row IV has had my eye for some time now, and with good reason. I invested an absurd amount of time playing Saints Row: The Third, leveling up my character to the point where I could jump off the tallest buildings and walk away without a scratch. So, the concept of taking the same… Read More »
I’ve become a massive fan of Goichi Suda (aka Suda 51) since the Wii release of No More Heroes. For all the games flaws, it was still a lot of fun to play. Shadows of the Damned, made by a Japanese super group consisting of Suda 51, Shinji Mikami (the original mind behind the Resident… Read More »
One of my favorite series released this generation was inFAMOUS. I cannot tell you how many times I played the demo for the original game when it was released shortly before the full game came out. I even decided to do a rare, “Midnight Launch” for it, just on a whim. The sequel was fantastic,… Read More »
While watching the Microsoft E3 press conference on Monday, June 10th I was surprised that there were no Kinect games announced. This was different from just a year ago.

I have recently rediscovered my love of PC gaming with Steam and Humble Bundles in the role of enablers with their ridiculously cheap sale prices. This week began innocently enough. I bought a few games and… Read More »
Rayman Legends has had my eye for quite some time now. From everything that we’ve seen of the game, Ubisoft is following up Rayman Origins with a game with the same sort of whimsy and joy. Since the re-launch of the Rayman series, Ubisoft has done a fantastic job of promoting the series and turned… Read More »
Microsoft’s E3 press conference opened today with a new trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Over the past few weeks, I’ve begun to get more and more excited for it and today was the culmination of all of that excitement. The trailer was fantastic and showcased some meaningful changes to the series… Read More »
My last two entries in this wonderful series have been a little heavy. Actually they’ve been a lot heavy with a side of EMOTIONS (yes the capital letters were necessary). I think it might be time to switch it up a bit and talk about something a bit lighter, like video games. This past week… Read More »
On Thursday, Hideo Kojima and Konami made a fairly interesting announcement in regards to the future of the Metal Gear franchise. They announced that, since in Metal Gear Solid V, Snake would be forty-nine years old, they had decided to switch voice actors. Series mainstay David Hayter, who’s voiced the iconic character since Metal Gear… Read More »
