There’s no question that the second World War has been thoroughly pillaged for gaming content. The Medal of Honor series continues to thrive with the upcoming next-gen title, Airborne. The Outfit took an entirely new approach to exploiting the subject material. Despite this, many developers continue to keep the sub-genre of the World War II […]

It seems like nearly a lifetime ago that I first caught the trailer for Squaresoft’s CG-animated feature, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Well, after a long wait, it’s finally released in the U.S., and to say that I was excited at the prospect of getting my hands on a copy would be an understatement of monumental proportions. I […]

I shouldn’t really be surprised at the announcement, but there’s still a very sincere part of me that is reeling in disbelief over the fact that Nintendo would decide to name its upcoming next-generation console the Wii (Pronounced “We”). According to a Nintendo spokesperson, “We just wanted something that would be very easy to remember, […]

These days it can be quite a challenge to impress the gaming community. New gameplay conventions are not only hard to come by, they’re often adopted and emulated by the collective development community with such a voracious rapidity that they easily become forgotten for the minor paradigm shifts that they instigated. For example, Tom Clancy’s […]

If I recall correctly, the first animé feature I ever saw was Fist of the Northstar.

I suppose that before I proceed, I should say that I am not a graceful loser when it comes to some things. For example, I can’t stand losing in foosball, and cards are even worse. I have been known to throw a bit of a tantrum when my wife has served me up in foosball. And […]

I’m finally getting back into disc golf. I used to play pretty frequently when I was out in Minnesota. We used to always go to this course called Kaposia out there.

Last evening I ventured onto Live for the first time in a while. I figured I’d check out the CoD2 patch and play a few games. On that subject, just a quick note to say that I think CoD2 is effing awesome online. I love it. But I digress. So, I hop into the first […]

As a fan of Tool, I’m almost sorry to say that I was never all that impressed with their last effort in Lateralus. I know that many of my fellow Tool fans that might be reading this are thinking less of me with every passing moment. I know that the album was largely well-received by […]
