When I initially conceived of the idea of writing episodic reviews I planned on concluding the series when I had also finished the game. Well I haven’t finished Armored Princess yet, but it’s also been almost two months since I posted part one of this review. I think the time has come to wrap this …

Armored Princess Review: Part III
Monday, March 15th, 2010 by jacksonReview – Torchlight
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 by jacksonTorchlight should be branded with a warning. The game is pornographic, it’s number porn and clicking porn with a Tolkienesque fantasy fetish thrown into the mix. After loading the game there is a brief introduction to set the scene, and immediately the player begins clicking madly on everything moving.
With each click the characters moan, scream, …
Armored Princess Review: Part II
Thursday, February 11th, 2010 by jacksonSometime while I was busy writing about how much the PC is awesome and how much BioShock sucks I realized that I was still actively playing King’s Bounty: Armored Princess and I’m overdue in my second review installment. I’m probably about half way through the game at this point. Considering I’ve spent …
Why I Like Playing Games at my Desk
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 by jacksonI like to think of myself as above silly things like console wars, but let’s face it, we all have our certain preferences. When we were kids our preferences came from the fact that our parents would only buy us one console, so whichever one we got was automatically the best. Nintendo’s exclusives were always …
Looking Back at BioShock
Friday, January 22nd, 2010 by jacksonThe release date for BioShock 2 is around the corner; the game is already available for preorder in some places. So I’m going to take this moment to look back at the first game. BioShock one was kind of a big deal when it came out, and it still is; not a lot of games …
Armored Princess Review: Part I
Thursday, January 14th, 2010 by jacksonI’ve been playing King’s Bounty: Armored Princess for almost sixteen hours now. For lots of games that would mean I’m approaching the ending, or perhaps I even surpassed the ending and cycled back to the beginning for another playthrough. Such is not the case with this game, I’ve only traveled to two and a half …

Games With No Reviews I Agree With
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 by jacksonI realize Metacritic is more than a little unpopular, but despite all of the problems produced by its aggregate scores it still functions well as a convenient index of professional reviews, which is my reason for referencing it in this post.
Gears of War 2 – I came late …
Review – Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 by jacksonAfter a few minutes of playing Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon I realized that this was a game that I’ve always wanted to play but never knew existed until recently. I was quite late to the party since the game came out in the early 90s, back when point and click adventures were cool …
IGN Hits A New Low
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 by jacksonIGN recently launched a new site called Music Hub. Great idea, music games are popular so why not make a site dedicated to them? Let’s see what games they cover: Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero World Tour, Guitar Hero 3, Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Guitar Hero Metallica, Guitar Hero Van …
