I bought Devil May Cry 4 during one of these frequent Steam sales that are designed to separate me away from my money. Normally I wouldn’t waste my hard earned cash on a game like this, but and thanks to … Continue reading →

Phone gaming…. Do you guys remember the time when this used to be an oxymoron? My first cell phone had the snake game… Actually, maybe that was my second phone. Either way, it was one of the first I owned. … Continue reading →

Up until few days ago, I used to completely dismiss the whole “PC gaming is dying” idea. It seemed ridiculous to me. Few years ago I even wrote a lengthy post on why I think it is not the case. … Continue reading →

Here is my little theory: single player and multi player games are fundamentally about different things. The idea that every game should have both a single and multi player mode is flawed at the core. Both types of games aim … Continue reading →

It’s actually kinda funny that when I mention buying or pre-ordering some game, the response I get from people these days is usually something among the lines of: “LOL, you buy games for PC? Why would you do that?” Why? … Continue reading →

Ever since I have found out that BioWare decided to abandon the multiple origin concept and instead use predefined character named Sheppard Hawke for the Dragon Age Origins sequel I was concerned. I thought they might actually try to “streamline” … Continue reading →

I’m not sure if you know this about me, but I have quit the GTA series forever around the time of San Andreas. Not that Sand Andreas was particularly different from all the other games in the series – it … Continue reading →

When you first start to play Mincraft it may be a bit overwhelming and confusing, seeing how the game has no real tutorial or hint system. It is very old school in that aspect – you have to either experiment … Continue reading →

Ladies and gentlemen, I officially caught the Minecraft bug. If you consider this for a second, it was inevitable. I am a massive nerd, and this game is like crack to my people. I resisted it for a while, but … Continue reading →

There are two kinds of superhero games out there: ones which are based on recent Hollywood movies and ones that are not. The games in the first category all suck, with no exceptions. The ones in the second category can … Continue reading →

Do you remember any of my armchair game design posts? More specifically my Stealth Survival Horror game idea? Guess what? Someone made that game, and it is called Amnesia: Dark Descent. This happened to me before once. In January I … Continue reading →

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few months, you probably heard that World of Warcraft: Cataclysm launched yesterday at 3am. It has been hyped up for months, advertised on TV and much discussed on the … Continue reading →

Do you ever intentionally cripple your RPG characters for better game play experience? Let me give you an example – in the Fallout New Vegas post Zel mentioned that he played a diplomat character. That means that during character creation … Continue reading →

Those of you who read this blog know that I am an exclusive PC gamer. I don’t own any of the current gen consoles, and I’m not really planning to buy any of them because they really don’t offer anything … Continue reading →

Before I start complaining about the bugs in the game, let me say this: so far New Vegas had fewer problems than Fallout 3 for me. I know, it’s wild. A game made by Obsidian on Bethesda engine should be … Continue reading →

You probably saw this post coming, didn’t you? Every time I play a Bethesda game I tend to make a post like this. New Vegas is technically a Bethesda game, but it is built around their engine so I guess … Continue reading →

New Vegas was built around the same engine as Fallout 3 so unsurprisingly it looks, feels and plays like it’s predecessor. I do believe that Obsidian did mock around with the graphical layer of the game, because it feels slightly … Continue reading →

If you asked me what was the most fun area in WoW I would without hesitation say that it is probably the newbie location for Death Knights. Why? Because it is not static. You see, most of the world of … Continue reading →

I am having a major case of writers block. This is the honest truth. I have spent most of my Sunday morning (this was typed on Sunday) staring at a blank post form in my WordPress setup, taking frequent breaks … Continue reading →

Please tell me that I’m not the only person who likes to put together non-functional but cool looking outfits for my RPG game characters. This is of course not possible in all games. Some games offer you very linear gear … Continue reading →

Here is a simple observation about the MMO landscape out there: most people only play one massive multiplayer game at a time. It is fairly straightforward to figure out why this is true. It’s about money. Unlike most other video … Continue reading →

It is that time of the month again – time for me to dig out the ol’ game queue and review it once more. My biggest problem at this moment is the fact that there is no single big game … Continue reading →

Since I started playing WoW again people have been asking me what do I see in that game. Especially since I often mention how I’m not a big fan of MMO’s in general. If you read my video game reviews … Continue reading →

Good news everyone! My hunter just dinged 40 and I am now a proud owner of a fast mount and I’m shopping around for some fine mail armor that I can now use. If you read the above sentence in … Continue reading →

I must admit that the main reason why I have picked up the 2008 Prince of Persia game was this video: It really does paint the game in a good light and I fully subscribe to everything that Shamus said … Continue reading →
