This week’s glance into the world of gaming: Bioshock Week The biggest news of the week is Bioshock. Actually, Bioshock by its mere release would have been the story of the week, but instead, the Bioshock launch has been a big story in and of itself. 2K, with this launch, has dodged more time wasting … Continue reading
After a week long hiatus, I’m back with a look into the world of gaming: The Little Game That Could vs. The Franchise I’m not the biggest fan of console FPS/ FPA(dventures).* While I’ll be in line at my gas satiation on Halo day, I mostly only play FPS for the multiplayer.

Another Harvest Moon for the handheld so soon after Innocent Life? Well, where Innocent Life was a quiet (and beautiful) revolution in … Continue reading
