SC2 MP Replays and Analysis
Fro those that are dipping their toes into the SC2 multiplayer ladders, I highly recommend taking a look here. What we’ve got there is a huge amount of SC2 replays with analysis from a gent named Day9. He really seems to know his stuff and I’ve learned a tonne just watching these things. Funny enough, [...]

Go big or go home
I found this interesting, if not a bit cynical (full story needs registration…): Q: How has the rising cost of making triple-A games changed production at Ubisoft? Alain Corre: The games that are not triple-A are not profitable anymore. And that’s changed in the last 18 months. When you have a triple-A blockbuster it costs [...]

Fighting the Spin – Elemental
…sorry…someone has to counter this BS: Stardock is often cited as making games without copy protection, having even drafted a gamer’s bill of rights. But then of course not every game is equally likely to get pirated in the first place, and with their rather complex strategy games Stardock isn’t exactly the most exposed. Nevertheless [...]

Dragon Age: Done
After probably one of my longest gaming marathons in a very long time, I finished Dragon Age over the weekend. I’ve mentioned this about the game before…it is one, big, honkin piece of RPG and was worth every penny I paid for it. Clocking in at around 60 hours, I finally defeated the Dark Spawn [...]

….aaand we’re back. With pie this time!
Hey all…. ….apologies for the downtime. The squirrels went on strike and I had to give them maternity leave benefits in order to get them back to making the cogs turn again. Stupid squirrels….. Anyway, plenty of things have happened in the land of gaming over the past week from all of the usual suspects: [...]

SC2 – Updated Impressions
This will probably be my last entry for SC2 (…yeah…we’ve all heard that one before…heh). I currently have a love-hate relationship with the game, and that’s where I currently stand right now. Why? Great that you ask! Love I love the way Blizzard has designed the UI and interface to SC2….it’s a beautiful piece of [...]

Why are you all excited….again?
Back from vacation…all rested up and ready to go. As I got back, I saw the twitter feed and news feed about Blizzard’s BREAKING NEWS!!! Dear gawd…their next MMO will be an original IP. All I’ve got to say it this: what the hell is wrong with you guys? We knew this for this a [...]
