That’s right, kiddies – apparently the Mirror’s Edge Demo Hits XBL tomorrow! I’m sooo hoping this game lives up to my expectations (and doesn’t make me barf playing on my 50″ widescreen…)!
So it turns out that all my fumbling and bumbling to find The Family was rewarded in the end with a pretty cool quest. Those that know my taste in monsters will realize that this one was right up my alley (and seasonally appropriate as well). When you finish the quest, be sure to talk [...]
Just wanted to send out a public thanks to William Johnson for his continuing work on a Z-Machine interpreter for Blackberrys (and other J2ME devices), Zaxmidlet. ConstantineXVI and I have been trying to drum up interest over on the Crackberry forums for someone to develop this app, and William came to our rescue like a [...]

Well, I finally finished The Force Unleashed yesterday (on Xbox 360). Let me first say that yes, I enjoyed the game – as did my son. In retrospect, I think there are two major factors leading to the lukewarm reviews the game has been receiving. Kickin’ Butt Old School Firstly, in many ways the gameplay [...]
With the release of Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, my table-top gaming group spent a long time discussing our options.
