State of Decay was released this past Friday through Steam Early Access, meaning that there are still some bugs and other issues being worked out. As a result, writing an official review of the PC version wouldn’t be appropriate. Please keep that in mind as while I had very few issues running the game, my… Continue reading

Just 5 More Minutes: FTL Domination
As some of you may know, I’ve developed a slight obsession with the game FTL. This is an obsession that has prompted me to talk about the game at length on the last couple of podcasts, produce a new Brotabulous Moments in Gaming and neglect the latest additions to my Steam library acquired during the summer… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Light Gun Heroics, Light Gun Shame with Area 51
As a child, I was heavily influenced by the action stars I saw in movies and the animated heroes I watched on TV. I wanted nothing more than to be like them as their sense of justice and undying selflessness were traits I was attracted to, even at a young age. I knew one day… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
Like many players, I usually move on to the next conquest when a new release comes to my doorstep. That are some games that you go back to over and over even though your game library keeps growing. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has the magic stuff that keeps me coming back for more. I sat down… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Resident Evil 2 and the Quest for Hunk
As you may have gathered from my review, I really enjoyed Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. I thought the gameplay was fun, albeit a bit buggy, and being able to revisit a high-definition version of Raccoon City is something I’ve dreamt about since the last time I did so in Umbrella Chronicles. Additionally, the reappearance… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Tecmo Super Bowl
On draft day, a lot of prospects were compared to the great football players of yesteryear. When we talk about the greatest football games of all time, nothing compares to Tecmo Super Bowl, a game released just a little over 20 years ago. Simple is best Tecmo Super Bowl is the gold standard when it comes… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Rhythm Heaven Fever Saved Valentines Day
My girlfriend and I had recently discussed our loathing for Valentine’s Day and so we decided not to do anything special for it and just treat it as a normal day. That being said, I couldn’t help but want to do something special for her after seeing everyone on my Facebook wall doing sweet things for their loved ones…. Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Halo 2 Multiplayer
By the age of 24, I’d pretty much given up on video games. I was more interested in strengthening my DVD collection than owning the latest consoles and games. Plus, I didn’t have enough income to bolster both collections so ultimately, one had to suffer. That is…until I started working at a bar in Davis,… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
It is the summer after my sophomore year in college. I had received Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty the previous Christmas and had yet to beat it. In fact, I had barely even played it. For any single player game focused on story I had to be alone with no distractions. That was hardly… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Kirby’s Dream Land
I need to talk today about a moment that is important in the life of every young gamer. When we’re young, we have all sorts of influences on our gaming habits. We may have parents who play, older siblings we watch play, or even friends at school we play with. At some point later you… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Advance Wars
The strategy game genre has made me question myself as a gamer more than any other genre. Most of the games end up pushing my brain and multitasking abilities to the point where I freeze up and can no longer process how to keep playing the game. Others have an exploit or two that always… Continue reading
Just 5 More Minutes: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
There was a time when all I wanted to do was play video games. That time hasn’t really come to an end, but this was when I was a younger gentleman. I would choose my friends based on their interest in the medium I love. When I was playing city league baseball in my hometown, I… Continue reading
