Trials HD
I downloaded the Trials HD trial (heheh) yesterday. I had seen people talk about it on Twitter but I hadn’t tried it out; I thought it was just some racing game or generic 3D motorcycle game or something. It isn’t.
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.
Irresponsible Media
Would you people please stop advertising pirated games? I realize the fact that it’s the 360 version is interesting, but how can you fail to realize that publicizing this will send people looking for it?
The Golden Age of Gaming?
Shamus Young posted on Friday about how the Golden Age of Gaming was a few years ago, and on the same day there was an article by Sean Sands at The Escapist about how it is actually right now. So Shamus asked what makes right now so great.
Been A While
Haven’t posted here for a while. I’ve registered for the 2008 Dream Build Play competition, where they give you three and a half months to make a game for the Xbox 360 using XNA. I have two buddies who will help me, but I’ll need to find someone for the 3D art/animation and someone for [...]
Assassin’s Creed: My Thoughts
I finally finished Assassin’s Creed a few days ago after not having played it for months, and I have to say I greatly enjoyed it. Genetic memories may not be good science, but who cares? It’s an alternate universe anyway–you have to suspend disbelief in exactly the same way for even wackier things in movies [...]
Quoth the Raven, “404.”
From the forums at Champions-Online.com, Black_Pagoda ran across their awesome 404 page. Check it out.
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 hope to [...]
Some thoughts on the Kindgom Under Fire: Circle of Doom demo
I played through the demo for Kingom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (KUF:Call of Duty, or KUF:CoD, or, KUF) last night. Well, I think I played through most of it… I did the forest area you start in until the boss you can’t fight, but I noticed the option to travel to different areas and never took [...]
Happy Holidays
So I haven’t been writing here for a while. Over a week, I guess, looking at the calendar on the sidebar.
Mass Effect
I just got The Orange Box, but I haven’t played it yet. I keep reading things on the internet and hearing things people tell me that make me want to start it, but every time I actually sit down to play it, I find I feel like playing Mass Effect instead. I’m really enjoying Mass Effect.
Assassin’s Creed
So I read about how Assassin’s Creed has been getting some bad reviews. I just picked up my preordered limited edition copy today, and I haven’t played much of it, but so far I think it is pretty fun and very impressive. The production values are amazing. But I’m not really posting here to talk [...]
The world is a very silly place.
This is what sports should be like. Remember making all those jokes about full-contact chess? Well the joke’s on you1, now! What’s next, Go Wrestling? Seriously, though, pretty interesting for the fact that it encourages people to improve more than one aspect of themselves.
