Games

I originally didn’t consider purchasing a Wii Fit. The games looked way too simple for me to enjoy. We’re in an age of complex video games that require thousands of buttons to have fun. Skiing downhill? What kind of fun would that be for a video game. I purchased one though after my girfriend told [...]

I played Metal Gear 4 tonight for about an hour. After about 45 minutes, the game started getting boring. I experience the same feeling with many games lately. It’s always the same thing. You try to beat a certain part of the game, then die. So you try again, remembering where everything is this time [...]

Back in 1999, my friend Mike told me how much he loved his DreamCast. He must’ve told me every day about the game he played the previous night on it. I once joined him in a game of Sega NFL2K Football and I have to admit, it was a blast. I loved the personal screen [...]

Electronic Arts is the Microsoft of the gaming world. I can’t stand them and I refuse to buy their games because they truly do not care about their employees or customers. Here are 6 reasons why we should boycott EA.
They ruined SimCity
Electronic Arts bought Maxis back in 1997, acquiring the rights to the SimCity franchise. [...]

I’ve still been pondering how arcades can evolve back to where they used to be as far as popularity. It blows my mind that arcades in Japan are even going under now. What do confused teens do on Friday night now besides the movies? It hit me as I passed a local Internet arcade. The [...]

I recently took a drive through my old stomping grounds in Chicago. I looked for places familiar to me. I got a little misty eyed as I drove looking for a place I could walk into that I used to frequent as a kid. It soon became evident though, that all of them have closed. [...]
