Paradigm

Posted in Final Fantasy, Reviews, tagged , , , , on March 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I’m closing in on 16 hours of playtime in Final Fantasy XIII and I hate to say it, but I’m pretty disappointed with the game so far. There’s something amiss in FFXIII besides the horrible pacing, awkward cinematography, and convoluted and relatively uninteresting storyline. I haven’t quite put my finger on it yet but I [...]

Ruin

If you’ve been following me on twitter you’d know that my weekend has been absorbed by beer, wild card playoff football and one game. No, it hasn’t been WoW. Oh no, it definitely hasn’t. Between an extra PS3 blu-ray remote and a $25 gift card I received from Christmas it was high-time to pick up [...]

Viking

Recently Sega produced/made games haven’t been all that and it appeared that Sega was a mere shadow of its former self. With Viking Sega appears to be back on the right track, even with some minor faults. Viking is a mix of Mark of Kri, and Kingdom Under Fire, that is to say that the [...]

Paradise

Posted in General Gaming, Reviews, tagged on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I have to admit it, the free world aspect of Burnout Paradise unnerved me. Yet, after 5 hours of play, I can safely say that Paradise is the evolution of Burnout. It’s brilliant how it’s setup and there’s a ton to soak in when you first start. You needn’t feel obligated to start racing out [...]

Cloverfield

Posted in Reviews, tagged , on January 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

From the first trailer I became insanely intrigued about this movie. Just the whole idea of capturing a monster movie from the personal point-of-view of a handycam was surreal. We’ve all watched plenty of monster/horror movies, but we never get that intimate with the characters. In Cloverfield you empathize with the characters as they make [...]

Completion?

Posted in General Gaming, Reviews, tagged on September 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

Last night I finally made my way to the end of Kingdom Hearts II. Being that I was impatient to see the ending and knew that I could always come back to my save for 100% completion I went ahead and defeated Xemnas. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but suffice to say I was [...]

Disneyification

Posted in General Gaming, Reviews, tagged on September 13, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

Making up words is fun aint it? As the title might suggest, this entry is going to have a blatant Disney-theme to it. What it won’t feature is the Disney seal-of-approval, so you can all breathe a sigh-of-relief. So what does it all mean? I’m finding myself craving the solo console experience; something fun … [...]

Ughart! What’s that?

Posted in General Gaming, Reviews on July 15, 2005 | Leave a Comment »

With a $18 trade-in credit and a $10 off coupon at Gamestop I had a couple of options on how to use them. At first I thought about picking up a WoW gamecard, but considering patch 1.6 has produced a number of irritating bugs, I decided to hold off on coming back to Azeroth. I’m [...]

Mediocrity at its worst.

Posted in General Gaming, Reviews on November 13, 2004 | Leave a Comment »

What happens when American developers (EA in this case) take the Lord of the Rings license and decide to make an japanese style RPG? Crap, pure crap … that’s what you get. The Third Age is being marketed as the most exciting RPG since Final Fantasy and this couldn’t be further from the truth. An [...]
