LifestreamHaving not a damn thing to do, I decided, perhaps against my better judgement, to resurrect my old World of Warcraft account. There was this one-time 10-day Wrath of the Grind King trial offer that got me curious. Unfortunately there was a limit that prevented players from advancing beyond level 70, and I was frankly [...]

Another nail in the coffin for the PC gaming industry. Gameplay is stuttering even at ridiculously low settings. I had to remove my (Rumblepad 2) gamepad because it caused a rolling menu problem that wouldn’t let me get past the main menu (apparently the game only works with the XBOX360 controller). The graphics look dated. [...]
The PC gaming industry is dead. I feel pretty confident declaring this upon having played Grand Theft Auto IV. And here is why. As the latest instalment in the GTA series, this game illustrates with ample clarity how PC games have progressed since the release of the first 2D GTA a number of years ago. [...]
I’m not falling for that one again. I don’t care if Wrath of the Lich King gets a >95% metascore. I did play WoW for a while. It was deceptively amusing and fulfilling. Until the reality of the game started to sink in. In other words that the end-game was far worse than the actual [...]
Yay, another WW2 fps game. Americans never seem to tire when it comes to mythologizing the and replay past glories. I don’t know about you, but I for one am tired of shooting Germans and Japanese. When will we get a WW2 game, or indeed any game, where we can kill Americans? Aside from that [...]
Verdict: At least it doesn’t crash. But seriously, who likes this sort of clunky, goofy rts anyway? Why can’t you zoom out further? And why is the game so cartoonish? Hammy live-action cinematics are fun but I think all that money could have been put to better use. I did play two of the three [...]
Allow me to blaspheme the new gaming messiah, but I wasn’t very impressed with the game. Oblivion with guns, and possibly an even more awkward interface. Pip-Boy, seriously? It is about as convenient as Windows Vista. If you’re not careful this could be the new interface for Windows 7. And as some reviewers pointed out, [...]
I normally don’t like horror themed corridor crawlers, but I will say that Dead Space (wiki) at the very least delivers on its promise. It is beautiful, well constructed, terrifying and gory. Also, level loading times are suspiciously fast and the game doesn’t crash or stutter. So unlike most games these days it lives up [...]
A far cry from a decent gaming experience. Some reviewers have seen the light (Gamespy) but many are still drinking the Kool-Aid. It could very well be one of the biggest disappointments this year considering the hype and its notable predecessor. Aside from the gaming issues, which I think are better explained by Gamespy, the [...]
I have to admit that World of Warcraft has been dirty secret of mine. For the longest time I stayed out of the game citing various concerns. But in February of last year, as the Burning Crusade expansion was about to ship, I made a huge mistake and enrolled into the ranks of grinding, pointy-eared, [...]
