• Single Payer Video Game

    Why does Battlefield 4 have a single player campaign?

  • Storm In A Teacup

    With the Battlefield 4 campaign finished, I can dampen my criticism somewhat.

  • A Trapped Wolf Will Cut Off Its Own Leg

    I don't think I could design a worse campaign for Battlefield 4 if I tried.

  • Assassin's Appendix

    Dig deep into Assassin's Creed IV and you'll get to the muck of the previous titles.

  • The Wheels On The Bus

    What keeps you playing a racing game?

  • Riding Dirty

    For the longest time I thought that expression was referring to something other than drug possession.

  • Marketing is a Feature

    Some things about the smartphone wars are objective. The Nexus 5 has a larger screen than the iPhone 5s, while the iPhone has a fingerprint sensor and the Nexus doesn't.

  • Everything is Permitted

    After two straight days of Assassin's Creed IV I'm starting to lose my grip on reality a little.

  • What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?

    Day two was about Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. It only took five years and six games, but Ubisoft's pirate adventure is the best entry in the series and my selection for Game of the Year.

  • Day One

    The power supply is all rectangles. Kinect is a rectangle. The USB cable ends in a rectangle. If Microsoft were selling the Xbox One on Cybertron I suspect the controllers would be rectangular.

  • Obsolete

    Last night I arranged my current generation games in their final resting case. I almost filled up a 128 disc game binder with Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, and PS3 games. Oh, and Wii games too I suppose.

  • Xbox One hunting

    Online shopping is fun. Online shopping under a time limit is maddening.

  • Uphill Both Ways

    As a kid I hated when coincidences of language were used to justify decisions.

  • Recabling fever

    Every six months or so the planets align and I'm compelled to disassemble my entertainment center and put it back together, better than it was before.

  • Next gen jitters

    As much as I'm supposed to revile Gamestop's trade-in policy, being able to turn an unwanted 3DS XL into 25% of my Xbox One preorder is pretty sweet.

  • Thor: The Dark World

    I'm not wild about Thor as a superhero-punching-things movie. There's not a good baseline of his power.

  • Nintenbored

    Yesterday a GameStop employee called to check on my Xbox One preorder.

  • I Will See To It Personally

    Jetpack Joyride ruined free casual games for me.

  • Reviewing the Playstation 4

    How do you review a game console?

  • Node Foreeever

    Once you start poking around with Node.js, you want to run it all the time like an Apache site.
