Final Fantasy XIII: Chapter 1 - Impressions

ff xiii chapter 1Last night I ran out and picked up a game that I have been waiting for awhile.  I would go into my history with Final Fantasy games, but I’m sure no one cares.  So anyway, I get home, crack open a beer, and pop in the disc.  The hairs on my arm stand as I watch the intro CGI scene.  This CGI is beautiful.

Games That Don't Suck: Saints Row 2

E-mail Print PDF

Saints Row 2Over Christmas, I'd received a gift card to Best Buy and decided the money would best be spent on some Xbox 360 Platinum Hits; one of which was Saints Row 2. I've long been a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series and its clones long since the days of the top down over-pixeled shooter. Picking up Saints Row 2 was a no brainer because I enjoyed the first and just never got around to purchasing the second.

Bad games + good friends = great games

E-mail Print PDF

With a good group of friends, any game can go from being a POS to a great game.  I’ve noticed lately, no matter how good a game is, if I’m not playing the same game as my core group of gaming friends, I lose interest fast.
