About Me
26... someone called me decrepit the other day.

Seriously though, we have to be the greatest gaming generation. Growing up with it, watching it scare the shit out of the public so many times. And finally over take all forms of other entertainment. My thirst for games and its culture never fades, only my time to consume it.



Mainly I pay attention to anything dealing with the growth of the gaming industry. It's about respect as an art and entertainment form at this point. I think I have a "violence in gaming" debate at least once every other day at this point. When I'm not on a soapbox, I'm pretty much staring at the next shiny and ridiculous object that I can find, pointing and laughing at it, looking around to see if anyone else sees what I see.

Right now, Rock Band is about the only game I play consistently. That and random XBLA games.

Clive Barker's Jericho, Turning Point Fall of Liberty, Overlord, Rise of the Argonauts, DiRT... Maybe I'm just reacting because they are making games closer to genres I'm interested in or that Jim Sterling touched on this earlier but where the hell did Codemasters come from? I know they've been around forever (Micro Machines for the NES!), but still next to the Unreal Technology logo that's everywhere, their logo seems to be just as prominent.

Along with Activision toppling EA this past quarter, 2K games shamelessly expanding their brand. I'm just glad to see we are getting some diversity with developers and publishers of the games with mass appeal, it's no longer restricted to EA, Ubisoft, or the big 3's first party developers. Hopefully this trend continues.

They should have retained their name, but it's gonna be the same studio regardless.

Codemasters are putting out great shit, huzzah for them.
