  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Knockin' on Node's door

    This weekend I helped a coworker with a Node Knockout 48 hour programming competition. It taught me two things: one, I do not have the constitution for programming marathons; and two, that specification documents are essential before starting programming.

  • Junk Jack X

    For whatever reason (not obtuse enough?) I haven’t played much Gnomoria, but I’ve found something similar on iOS: Junk Jack X, which is Minecraft for human beings.

  • World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

    You could spend an entire console generation playing this game. Or a human generation.

  • The Fastest Way

    Today on Stack Exchange.

  • Back to the city

    I'm going to give SimCity another try. I stopped playing when I realized the traffic system was utterly broken.

  • It's Crime Time!

    Monaco is a hoot. It looks like Hotline Miami and starts off as readable as Dwarf Fortress.

  • People are protesting low land values

    I have a SimCity problem.

  • Take a girl for a ride

    Disclaimer: at the time of writing I am a contractor working with Microsoft and 343 Industries on Halo 4. My copy of this game was free.

  • For Tyria!

    After eight years of Warcraft only the most devout dairy queen would think this blizzard hasn’t gotten stale. The griffons that once ferried us happily across the vast landscape have become AFK Airlines.

  • Gamer Theater

    Friday nights in Tallahassee had a predictable rhythm for a while: go to dinner with friends then retire to my apartment and play the latest cinematic video game together, be it Uncharted or God of War or LA Noire.

  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution reflections

    It's like a movie where you can decide the ending.

  • Insanely Twisted Shadow Remnant

    Today's theme is "doing it right" and "trying to do it right."

  • Dark Souls

    Dark Souls is coming to the PC next month. I’m… excited isn’t the right word. Tense? Fearful? Giddy?

  • EYE on Exodus

    I didn't buy these games to increase my colon stockpile. I was just in the mood for some non-linear shooting and a little space combat. I got none of those.

  • Zeemote

    One of the party favors I picked up from last night’s AT&T hackathon was a Zeemote. It’s a Bluetooth gaming controller for Android devices. Yeah, it solves that problem.

  • The Rolling Dead

    This is an idea for a zombie game using smartphones and Sphero devices that I came up with at an AT&T mobile app hackathon.
