Memorial Day 2011, gaming, and “Rock 98”

This post is a little late (as in May 31) and it is partly in due to the many notes I’ve seen in my Facebook news feed about remembrance on Memorial Day. I think I made one, too. And this morning, I saw a comment associated with a post about John Basilone on this blog. […]

Review: Brothers in Arms (Hell’s Highway)

I recently picked up the third installment of the Brothers in Arms series (Hell’s Highway), and it did not disappoint ($17.99 at Gamestop). The Good: the one thing that separates BiA from other WW2-themed FPS’s is the gameplay. In Call of Duty (World at War) for instance, it’s pretty much you against the world.  In […]

Review: Call of Duty: World at War

Okay. So it took me a while to get to this, mostly because I didn’t want to play the game on a PS 2 or wii. While those systems are just fine (come on! Tiger Woods 09 with the wii motion plus is AWESOME), I wanted to experience the game in HD with a next […]

Call of Duty and The Whitest Kids U Know

Lux Delux and WW2

Battlefield 1942

Every once and a while, I dig into a box filled with old computer games and load Battlefield 1942. I own a few WW2-themed FPS type games, but this one went above and beyond, especially on the multiplayer side of things. Now I don’t game much anymore (got to work), but I did enter the Market […]

Risk

So I used to play RISK when I was a kid, never thinking much about beyond the fact that it was a huge, huge time suck. When I got this “classic” (read: Target purchase) 1959 version, I thought, “man, I’m going to kick folks around the board. Yeah right! Check the colors: I’m green…the one […]
