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 [...]

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 [...]
Cryptic
There’s a new interview at Rock, Paper, Shotgun with Jack Emmert from Cryptic discussing the recently-announced game they’re working on, Neverwinter. I have a hunch that it will flop, with all the attendant consequences for Cryptic and Atari that implies. I could be completely wrong; it wouldn’t be the first time nor the last.
StarCraft 2′s Story Tricks
This post over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun points out the trick StarCraft 2 pulls on players with the way it handles their decisions. I noticed it also, and thought it was interesting. But it isn’t hard to figure out this is what’s going on while you’re playing, especially if you compare your experience with that of [...]
Assassin’s Creed 2
This post contains spoilers.
Close Range
This is a hilarious parody, but perhaps not for the very squeamish. Watch the video and play the “demo.”
Modern Warfare 2
Apparently the marketing people at Activision want Modern Warfare 2 to be the best-selling game of all time. That’s not really very interesting, but I had some fun in the comments thread.
The Real Reason for DRM
Shamus Young has another interesting post about DRM on his blog, Twenty Sided. But I found the insight of one of the commenters even more interesting:
Hinterland
Hinterland has just been released on Steam. But I think I’ll wait until it’s on Impulse.
Quoth the Raven, “404.”
From the forums at Champions-Online.com, Black_Pagoda ran across their awesome 404 page. Check it out.
Here is a post. Please be careful with it.
Got Super Smash Bros. Brawl yesterday and have been having fun with it. The story mode is significantly longer than it was in Melee; in that one you could finish it in an hour or so, whereas I played a lot yesterday and am 1/3 of the way through the story in Brawl. I’m glad [...]
Wholly Crap
Been a while since I posted here, huh? Hmm. : / Well, an update on what I’ve been doing: I am starting work on a video game version of Stardust (you may recall that Stardust is the working title of my board game side project—or you may not), using XNA Game Studio 2.0, which I [...]
Geocaching, and Galactic Civilizations II
Do you know what geocaching is? I didn’t, either, until Russ Pitts explained it to me. I’ll wait while he explains it to you, too.
