LifestreamRTS games, as illustrated by choices made by Gas Powered Games. Where would Starcraft 2 fit in all of this? Is it just semi-retarded or is it too generous a description? At any rate the game lacks any sort of strategy, not that it was present in the first game either. I don’t really remember. [...]

One problem that I’ve come across in many recent games is that while they do support a gamepad, it’s always the XBOX360 controller and rarely anything else. As I was playing through Just Cause 2 I wanted to try and supplement keyboard driving with an analog stick alternative but alas found no support for my [...]
Just got the key for the closed beta. I have to admit I am strangely curious about this game. Yes, I realize it’s supposed to be some sort of kiddie stuff, but it’s been hyped and talked about for so long I just have to take a sneak peek. Unfortunately the beta server has a [...]
The world could really use more games like this one. Silly, fast and fun action that doesn’t take itself too serious. I had no expectations and got one of the best games in a very long time. I have to admit I was initially irked by the apparent political implications of the game, but soon [...]
Hit or miss? I noticed a lot of people were griping over at Voodoo Extreme and Blue’s News. So, contrary to policy, I installed that pile of crap called Steam just to be able to download and run the demo. Setting aside the fact that some aspects of the game felt somewhat shifty and that [...]
Verdict still stands. WotLK is the grindiest game ever. Leveling my top three characters to 80 was easy enough once I had done it once and could buy "cold weather flying" plus swift flying mounts for the other two. I also changed some professions around. Leveled mining and jewelcrafting. Then finished leveling enchanting and took [...]
I finally got my beta code the other day. I had a nagging suspicion this wasn’t my cup of tea exactly but I nevertheless took the opportunity to play for free. Verdict: Not my cup of tea (surprise!). Too realistic, frantic and messy. Plus you basically need teamplay to survive. Plus the demo "assault" type [...]
Another dismal quarter. Left 4 Dead 2: The first person shooter equivalent of Space Invaders. Seriously. I’ve seen cattle in a slaughterhouse feeling less herded than the unwitting player of the L4D series. Linear like a 2D scroller. And dumbed down as well with console-like controls and abilities. And how about Dragon Age. Role-playing. Cute. [...]
I happened to re-activate my WOW account for another ten day WotLK trial. It is enough to get it out of my system for a while and remind me why the game is so unforgiving to antisocial, casual players like myself. Nevertheless, I took a screen grab from the altoholic addon after having logged in [...]
The PC gaming scene is as stale as ever. I thought Mini Ninjas would be nice, but it turns out to be just another Lego-style wannabe with "console disease" and lazy programming. My main gripe of course is that the game crashes before getting to the main titles. Just to be sure it wasn’t my [...]
