OK, it is not what you think. Last night I decided to do something a little different. Well, something I have not done in a while. But I am getting ahead of myself, and like I said, it is not what you think. For whatever reason – growing old, less time to play, family responsibilities, [...]
I have $250 duckets from Christmas that I have tagged as my PSP money. I figure that cash should get me a system plus a single game. Is this new wonder-toy going to be worth that type of money? I sure hope so, but damn is it a tough wait. I do not really want [...]
Back in the day (that would be just 10 years ago) I would cling to every release date and get upset when the dates would slip. Ah yes, the good ‘ol days of 1995 when the PlayStation was new, the Saturn sucked, and everything that did not rule went back to the store. The internet [...]
Several years ago I ran an almost semi-regular column called “Reset/Reply” – boy did I think that name was clever. I would review a game, and then at some later date discuss the pros and cons of that game, discuss the original review score, and if I was actually still playing the game. After all, [...]
I am going to try to write some Christmas gaming recaps over the next several days. I figured I would start off with the GameCube Game Boy Player that Joshua got for Christmas. I figured Joshua would enjoy playing some of his games in full screen glory, but I also kind of guessed that dear [...]
No, not another diatribe on the often delayed Gran Turismo 4. Not until the end anyway. Instead, of late, I have been playing Gran Turismo 3 to get me in the spirit of really wanting to play Gran Turismo 4. It is not like I have come close to finishing the game. Heck I never [...]
Another email update from EBGames, and another Gran Turismo 4 delay. This time we learn that GT4 will not even hit store shelves in time for Christmas. We are writing to let you know that we have changed the projected ship date for Gran Turismo 4 to 2/5/2005. How disappointing. I know there are hundreds [...]
Thanks to GamePay, the UK Royal Mail, and our own fine US Postal workers, my copy of Football Manager 2005 (FM2005) arrived today (now yesterday as this gets posted fairly late), only a week after it shipped. Not too bad, but is it worth the wait? The manual is as tick as can clocking in [...]
For “text-based” sports management fans, the Championship Manager series is about as good as it gets, and thankfully, it looks like Football Manager 2005 (the true successor to Championship Manager 4) shipped today. I have a pre-order in with UK based GamePlay. Hopefully the game will arrive soon since I paid for priority shipping.
GTA: San Andreas – but of course everyone with a PS2 is going to be playing this one. Well everyone that is not completely put off by the whole gangster thing, the violence, the language, and well, the whole damn experience. I have to admit that GTA is not for everyone, but so far this [...]
This may be old news, but Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest is now priced at all of $19.99, which is an absolute bargain if you are into “hack and slash” type games. I wrote about this one back in the day. It is developed by Snowblind Studios, which happens to be the great development [...]
Every once in a while I have to PIMP my own junk on eBay. I need to fund my next round of purchases so I just threw up a few games that some readers may want to check out. After all, my eBay rating has “trust me” written all over it. Jonathan’s list of eBay [...]
Back in the day I was all about GameStop, but they became increasingly frustrating as I attempted to return a game within the 14-day window, which eventually turned to 10-days, and then 2-days. Granted, I have no idea what the return policy is today, but should anyone be hassled for trying to return that South [...]
On a hunch I decided to pick up Katamari Damacy. I knew it would be a wacky Japanese game, but I figured I was up to the task since I am fan of other obscure goodness: Tale of the Sun, Aquanauts Holiday, and Motor Toon GrandPrix. Yes, add Katamari Damacy to the list. What the [...]
More time with the game brings me to another frustration that I am having a hard time looking past. The CPU controlled players on offense are worthless. When I fire a shot at the goalie, and it is deflected, I do not want everyone to sit around and watch the CPU defenders eventually clear the [...]
