Games

I’ve been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk lately. I was hooked on this game in the last iteration on game consoles (that being the Gamecube version). This new one is mostly the same, and that’s a disappointment, but there’s enough small stuff changed that it doesn’t feel 100% like the old version. […]

I was a fan of the original Iron Chef show from Japan, and watched Iron Chef America for a time. It’s a respectful enough sequel to the original, unlike that fiasco with William Shatner. Anyway, I guess I should have expected this. A videogame based on Iron Chef. But I wonder how the heck it […]

As the two or three of you who regularly read this blog might remember, back in February of 2007, I had a problem where my original Xbox 360 died. My original Xbox 360 was bought on January 1, 2006, and lasted until February 3, 2007. At that time, I had been just out of warranty, […]

Saturday is the day my wife works, and Daddy gets to take care of Samantha. As that’s gone on awhile now, I’ve gotten better at it, and I find true enjoyment at spending time with my daughter, and watching her grow up right in front of me. Still, I do enjoy nap time. :) So […]

So far I have to say I’m enjoying my Xbox 360 a lot. Part of it is the rarity thing, since they’re still not terribly easy to get, the fact that I have one alone is cool. But what’s terribly fun to me is the interface of the system. It is always available no matter […]

As most people who are interested in videogames are doing right now, I went on a hunt for an Xbox 360 this afternoon. I didn’t hit every store that could conceivably have one, but I hit all the major stores in my immediate area, especially after hearing the story on the net about the Best […]

The annual cash cow juggernaut that is EA’s Madden NFL Football 2005 came out a couple of weeks ago. It’s selling like wildfire. However, in a blatant act of “Give us $50 each year for the latest iteration of the game”, some stores are taking pre-orders for the Madden 2006 version already, which is listed […]

At Christmas, my wife bought me a couple of videogames. One was an expansion pack for Sim City 4, and the other was SimGolf. I did not ask for SimGolf, my wife remembered a comment I had made awhile back “I hate golf, but I love golf games”. So when she was in the store […]

I’ve been playing video games for a LONG LONG time. I’ve played a lot of bad ones in my time. I’ve played a lot of good ones. The one I want to talk about most definitely falls in the BAD category. While I’ve not personally played the game, I ran across this review of Big […]

Over the weekend, my brother and I attended the Austin Gaming Expo which took place in Round Rock, Texas. Most of it was related to classic gaming, with a big emphasis on the Atari 2600, but there was more modern stuff there (in fact, there were two seperate Halo tournaments going on). It was nice […]
