I never played a Wipeout game before Wipeout HD, but I am a fan of the F-Zero series. Wipeout HD is not dissimilar to F-Zero. It feels more floaty than F-Zero, but it’s not that far off. Another difference is the presence of weapons, but in my experience so far they don’t [...]

This would be awful anyway, but I’m also sad to see Michael from The Wire in a new version of 90210. On the other hand his acting here is pretty awful. Maybe he’s lucky [...]
As much as it is possible to hate a man I will never meet and that has not killed a close friend or family member, that is how much I hate Denis Dyack. And that was before I saw this
interview with him on OXM (via
Destructoid). This is the part where he’s explaining why [...]
Microsoft is doing this “Summer of Arcade” thing where they’re releasing games people actually want to play. Like.. more than one week in a row. Crazy right?
They started with Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2. I wasn’t a big fan of the first game, it was alright but I thought it could’ve looked a little sharper [...]
I’m working a lot lately so I haven’t been bored enough to look for reasons to update my blog. What I have been doing is stuff on my
giantbomb.com profile. Giant Bomb is a new website about videogames, it’s sort of like Wikipedia+blog. Apparently it uses the same backend as comicvine.com, which is a comic [...]
My boner for this game is losing stiffness. It’s still a great game, I’m still playing a ton, but I’m starting to notice the faults more prominently. Some technical stuff: framerate, pop-in, the usual suspects. Compared to the problems the PS2 games had, GTA4 is leaps and bounds better but.. I kind of want to [...]
There’s not much point in talking about this game. It’s great, I love it, I play it several hours a day and don’t plan on stopping any time soon.
I really enjoy the way the cars handle, it’s a great mix of arcadey and realistic feeling (though it is still very much on the arcadey side). [...]
Having played PC games far longer than I’ve played console games, it’s easy for me to romanticize PC gaming as some holy tradition that must be protected. The reality is, a good game will get my attention regardless of what platform it was made for. But there are a lot of reasons why I prefer [...]
I tried playing this game when it came out for the PS2, but by that time I had completely moved on to the “next-gen” and found most PS2 games to be generally unplayable. The 360 port is better, I’ve noticed some slight framerate issues and the loading screens seem far more frequent than they should [...]
