75 Hours and Counting: My Thoughts on Skyrim

November 21, 2011 Games

You got something in your...ah, nevermind.

So, in case you’ve missed all of the commercials and high praises from the bulk of the gaming community, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out on 11/11/11. Now, a week and a half later, I finally feel like I’ve put in enough time with this game to form a complete opinion on it. The thing you need to realize is that this is still a Bethesda game. The combat is definitely improved over Oblivion, and the conversation system is a lot less formal, but this is still a game from the guys that made Oblivion and Fallout 3. Much of the game is spent wandering around the Nordic province of Skyrim, completing quests and discovering various forms of dungeon. If those mechanics weren’t your bag before, I’m not sure that they will be now. Along with that, you’ll have to put up with a little bit of sandbox wonkiness and some goofy stuff that goes on. But, if you’re still interested, then read on and find out why I’m still itching to play more after 75 hours.

Mini-Review: The Binding of Isaac

October 12, 2011 Games, Reviews

So, a little over two weeks ago, The Binding of IsaacÂ came out on Steam. The game was created by Edmund McMillen, who comprises half of Team Meat, the developers responsible for putting out Super Meat BoyÂ last year. Now, while Team Meat continues to work on their next project, McMillen has worked with Florian Himsl and Super Meat BoyÂ composer Danny Baranowsky to release this little side project. As a big fan of SMB, especially the music and art style, I was already pretty much sold on the game. Hit the jump to see if I can sell you on it as well.

Could Steam be finally coming to the Xbox?

September 9, 2011 Games

It has been a dream of the online gaming community to play together no matter what video game system you play which it be Xbox 360, PC, Mac, or even PS3. Steam has been trying to convince the consoleÂ manufacturersÂ to make that possible. Portal 2 allowed PC players to play with PS3 players, and Shadow Run allowed Xbox 360 players to battle against PC players. Will we ever be able to finally fight this 3 way battle that has been years in the making?

If youâ€™re a sci-fi/fantasy fan and youâ€™re a reader then youâ€™ve probably run across the Tad Williams series of books called â€œOtherlandâ€™. There are 4 books in the series and the majority of the story takes place inside of a â€œvirtual worldâ€. Iâ€™m sure that Iâ€™m not the only person who has wished that such a virtual place existed to explore.

Good news.

In 2012 Otherland will be released.

From Dust Review

July 28, 2011 Games, Reviews


The hits keep coming in this years Summer of Arcade with From Dust by Ubisoft Montpellier (XBLA 1200 MSP).

Designed by Eric Chahi, From Dust puts you in the role of The Breath, a force called upon by a nomadic tribe that's able to harness the elements to aid them in their search of the ancients.Â 

From a first person view, you control a swirling cursor that is able to pick up earth, water and lava to deposit elsewhere. You can then create paths or remove obstacles for your tribe so they may venture to build villages or gather totems that allow protection from natural disasters or to augment your skills.

The main goal is to lead your tribe to the next gateway so they can settle on new islands, each with their own challenges and environmental dangers.
