I spoil things a lot for myself. I use guides for games, I look up summaries on Wikipedia, I am online while I am in game. It’s rare that I’m surprised in a game, since I have usually read what happens next. Playing without a guide is more ...

It’s been three weeks since I started playing. When I’m not playing, I have it idling in the background. I can’t remember the last time I was this obsessed with a game. I’m talking, of course, about Cookie Clicker. Gaze upon the face of ma...

Imagine you're at a fine restaurant. Your food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and your dining companions provide great conversation. Everything is perfect, and then when the waiter gives you the bill, he spits in your face. W...

So I've been working my way through my backlog, and lamenting how long it's been since my most recent post, when I was struck by a burst of inspiration. I realized I could blog about various games as I went through them, starting with Okami...

I’ll start with Fusion, because this one was sort of hit-or-miss for most Metroid fans. It wasn’t the linearity that bothered me; I never did any of that sequence-breaking that makes the Metroid games so popular. Hell, I kind of liked it. T...

So, I’m starting my blog with a shocker; I don’t like Metroid games. This probably isn’t surprising to many of you, but only because you read the title. So that doesn’t really count. But, you know, that’s sort of understandable; no genre is...
