Gamebook Adventures

In my post about PAX the other day I mentioned a little game called Gamebook Adventures by a little company called Tin Man Games.  They had an ad in the PAX guide that lead me and a buddy up to their booth hidden away on the sixth floor of the convention center .  There we [...]

Lego Millennium Falcon

The other day I was walking through the store and saw this on the shelf.

I walked past it with a smile, then a few aisles later there it was again.  I almost grabbed it, but stayed strong and kept walking on, then there it was again on a third end cap.  I took it as [...]

Captain America: The First Avenger

So weeks ago now I went and saw Captain America: The First Avenger, and I loved it.  Life unfortunately got in the way of me getting a review up so here it is, stylishly late.

I’ve always liked Captain America, but at the same time his comics tended to bore me a little.  Although he’s not [...]

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 [...]

Green Lantern

Long time visitors of my little corner of the net no doubt realize that I’m a comic book fan.  So the fact that I’m a long time fan of the Green Lantern shouldn’t come as much of a shock.  As a fan I’ve had great expectations for this film since the first trailers went up.  [...]

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 [...]

Hulu Plus

Some of you may known that back in January I joined that small but growing minority of people with absolutely no cable television. I kept my internet but shut down the cable when I realized I’d gone almost six months without watching a single show. At the time I moved on to Netflix [...]

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 [...]
