Looking forward to playing two games on the 360 this week: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which unfortunately was ordered last week for $10 more than it is this week, and Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, for which the first expansion hits Wednesday.

And I thought the 360′s DRM was frustrating…
We just got a new Wii, because our current one is on its last legs. One of the Wiimotes is already dead and the system itself will often freeze, refuse to read discs, or have any number of other strange issues. I’ve gone so long without calling tech support because I’m kind of dreading having [...]
games and stuff
Picked up “Kard Combat,” which is an badly-themed, badly-named version of Spectromancer. Spectromancer is fun, and this is it for $3, basically. So it’s fun.
Games
So, yeah. Some stuff happened. I still don’t really feel like writing about it here. Got a game called 7 Wonders recently, and I’m looking forward to playing it. Needs at least three players, so we have to wait until tomorrow. It’s a card-drafting civilization-building game. Seems like it will be really fun.
Oops, I forgot the title.
This week I… …finished Persona 3. Started playing “The Answer,” the follow-up in the FES version which I have. I also recently got Persona 4, which I will play at some point after finishing “The Answer.” I really like Persona 3. The social game aspect seems like it could be a game on its own if [...]
Clash of Heroes
I was going to get Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes for the DS but decided to wait for the XBLA version. It’s finally out now on XBLA, and it’s fun.
Reality is Broken
This morning (yesterday morning now; I’ve been working on this post all day) I followed a link shared on Twitter by Jamie Madigan and Brenda Brathwaite to read an article entitled “I Don’t Want to be a Superhero.” Having read through almost all of Alfie Kohn’s Punished by Rewards by now, it got me thinking [...]
XBLA
I guess PAX East went well (I didn’t attend). I just read about a new game called Bastion coming to XBLA this year which I’m really looking forward to now. The art looks incredible, and the premise sounds interesting.
Treatise on Consumerism Or: The Joys of Getting New Shit in the Mail
Last week my pre-ordered copy of Wrath of Ashardalon came in. I haven’t had an opportunity to play it, and don’t know when I will, but on seeing that the “CRDB“ is now defunct, I decided to channel my excitement into a form which others can see and benefit from. I spent a lot of the [...]
Oh, and happy Valentine’s Day, if you like.
Christopher Tin has just become the first person to ever win a Grammy award for a song composed for a video game. That’s pretty cool. The song is awesome, and really the whole album is… I want to get it now. Watching the music video reminded me a little of Praan and the 2008 Where [...]
At least it’s not $300.
The 3DS press event was this morning. It’s going to be $250 in the US and comes out on March 27. There doesn’t seem to be any announcement yet about the prices of the games; I have read that the Japanese game prices for it will be the equivalent of $58 to $72, which would [...]
On, to Weekend
Finished Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood this week. The ending mostly tied things up for Ezio but was a cliffhanger for Desmond, and didn’t provide the answers I was hoping it would. I did enjoy it though and I’m looking forward to AC3, however if they keep dragging it out and never conclude the story (as they’ve [...]
AssBros
(possible spoilers for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood ahead) Went to bed way too late last night. I was playing Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and just found the final puzzle thingy left by Subject 16. The reward there was somewhat… cryptic, but it seemed like it might be implying that the Assassins are all dead already and that [...]
Where Fable 3 Goes Wrong
Is it too soon to write about Fable 3? My wife hasn’t finished it, so I’m sure it is for some (Keisha, stop reading this until you finish it; there are some spoilers).
MineCraft
With as much attention and money as MineCraft has been getting lately, I won’t be surprised if some company makes a clone of it, possibly even releasing before the original reaches full release, since it is the work of one person. Really though, it deserves the attention. I haven’t bought it (yet), I just played [...]
