FATE and Spirit of the Century

So I mentioned the RPG system FATE recently and figured I’d give you people my thoughts on system.  As well as a review of Spirit of the Century, the version of the game I’m using with my group.

FATE is a very rules lite RPG system that focuses primarily on the narrative.  What few rules it [...]

Munchkin Zombies

Thursday night I introduced a bunch of my buddies to the joy that is Munchkin.  For those living in a hole somewhere Munchkin is a hilarious little card game developed by Steven Jackson Games.  Originally designed as a parody of classic RPG dungeon crawls it’s full of skewered clichés and awful puns plus lots of [...]

Trenched

The fact that I’m a tower defense game fanatic has been spoken to here before, so of course when I saw a new one pop up on the Live Arcade I gobbled up the demo, and shortly thereafter dropped the cash to get the full version.  The game is the creation of the fine folks [...]

Dead Nation

The zombie apocalypse is upon us, the dead rise, and it’s time to game.  For those of you living under a rock the Playstation Network was down for almost a month do to being hacked.  Having finally risen from the dead Sony decided that it was in their best public relation interests to offer up [...]

L.A. Noire

Rockstar Games is one of those companies that makes amazing games that I never enjoy. All the of the Grand Theft Auto games were huge worlds full of things to do, and yet I’d play an hour or two of them and get bored out of my mind. Red Dead Redemption is a [...]

Mortal Kombat

Have I mentioned before how I suck at fighting games. Pretty sure I have, and Penny Arcades recent Mortal Kombat pretty much sums up my ability with the game. Regardless I’ve always enjoyed the franchise. And this newest version tries to take it back to its roots which I figured was a [...]

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 : Fate of Two Worlds

Sir Arthur, with his mighty lance in tow, sends Wolverine airborne with a rapid strike.  As the feral X-Man is still falling Deadpool appears and unloads a barrage of bullets into him, followed the second he hits the ground by a swift series of kicks from Viewtiful Joe.  Wolverine is suddenly down for the count, [...]

Cut the Rope

I’ve recently  found a new iphone gaming obsession in ZeptoLab’s Cut the Rope.  It’s a deceptively simple puzzle game that for the last few days has been bringing smiles and bouts of outrageous cussing to my house.

The simple premise is that a cardboard box arrives on your door step, containing within an adorable alien creature [...]

Civilization V

I’ve been a huge Civilization fan for years.  I started with the first game, played the hell out of the second, and there are still days of my life I don’t remember because of Civilization three.  For some reason I missed out on the fourth edition, just to many other games at the time, and [...]

World of Warcraft

For the last two weeks I have been spending far to much time in the land of Azeroth.  Which for the uninitiated is the World of Warcraft.  Yes boys and girls, I’ve been sucked back into the evil that is WoW.

I first played WoW back when it was first released in 2004, I was even [...]
