LifestreamA whole week of open beta. How gracious. I must admit I was a little bit excited. Until I had to re-activate my account with EA (and their Origin service), download Origin, install some browser plugin (like in Battlefield Heroes and Play4free), install the game including punkbuster and finally get my ass handed to me [...]

I’ve been playing the open beta now for about a month and after about 600 battles I thought I’d offer my opinion as WoT goes live on April 12th. Bottom line that I’m fairly pleased with the game despite all its wrinkles. Sure it’s no strict MMO by any stretch but that is also a [...]
The wait is finally over. Civilization V (Launch trailer | CivAnon), the only game you will really need for the foreseeable future, has finally arrived. It seems like it was only yesterday we were all getting lost in Civilization I, although in actuality it was 1991. The reviews are in and overall the reception has [...]
Kane and Lynch 2 promised very little and delivered less. There … lets move on. Mafia 2 was a complete disappointment as well. Never played the first game. Expected GTA. Got some sort of Mafia role play in a city that is surprisingly flat. The player is tightly bound to the central story. There is [...]
RTS 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 [...]
