We’re basically dead to the world today. Starcraft 2 is out today. Even though some of Blizzards changes make me very angry, I’m going to give them a shot. They’ve done well in the past, and I feel they should get one more shot. Of course if their DRM system is a problem, or the [...]

Review: Crackdown 2
Crackdown 2 came out earlier this week. I was slightly surprised when I got the shipping notification, because I thought it came out in September. When I broached this topic with Jon he informed me that I was thinking of Halo Reach. After playing the demo (back when I thought it came out in September), [...]
Review: Onslaught mode for Bad Company 2
After some mucking about on EA’s part, Onslaught mode for Bad Company 2 finally made it to the Xbox 360. I spent a bit of time playing it and I thought I’d write up a quick review to answer the burning question in most people’s mind: “Is Onslaught worth $10 (800 pts)?”
Battlefield 2: Bad Company – Onslaught Mode Now Available
Jon was going to write up a quick bit about this, but he is too busy trying to play it to do so. Expect an actual review of this new content at a later date. Currently, you can only get it from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace right here for 800 MS Points ($10 at standard [...]
Review: Mass Effect 2: Overlord
Last Monday (14 June 2010), BioWare released a demo for Mass Effect 2 (and yes this is a demo for a game that has been out for awhile) on both Xbox 360 and PC. Additionally, the price recently decreased from release day standard $60 to $40, so now if you haven’t played the game, you [...]
Teabagging in BC2, How you amuse me
Before we start. For those that don’t know what tea bagging is, take a look at Wikipedia entry (NSFW) or Urban Dictionary. In video games to “tea bag” someone means you repeatedly crouch on the head of their corpse. Tea bagging in Bad Company 2 is something I find amusing. Not in the act of [...]
Lost Planet 2: An Exercise in Fuckstration
In which Jon finds that Lost Planet 2 is not the game for him. WARNING: This is by far the most vitriol filled post Jon has created, consider yourself warned.
So many new shooters this year!
Shooters are sort of an odd thing for me. I never considered myself a hard core shooter player. Sure, I bought Halo and played most of the big name shooters, but generally only did so casually. Since I can remember getting into gaming most of my “passion” for games was towards simulation games. Man, I [...]
I fucking hate Bad Company 2
Let me preface my little spiel here by saying that I like Bad Company 2, and it is one of the first console shooters I’ve played online and enjoyed doing so for a long period of time. Heck, I’ve already got my 5 days of service award (and am only 1 achievement away from getting [...]
Bad Company 2: Easy ‘Demolish Part 2′ Achievement
I’ve been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 quite a bit. In fact, I’m getting close to 100%ing the achievements. Normally, I’m not an achievement whore like some of my game playing compatriots, but BC2 makes it fairly easy (and enjoyable). This past evening I was working on finishing ‘Communication Issues’ and ‘Complete Blackout’ (destroy the [...]
