Bloodforge: First Cut Teaser Trailer is, well, Bloody

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.

Another way to play a new game was… Continue reading
365 Days of the Xbox 360
A few months before the release of Eternal Sonata in 2007, I originally purchased the Xbox 360. Up to that point I had been console-less for years and had borrowed a friend’s PS2 so I could play Final Fantasy XII. At work, a few friends and I had begun discussing Gears of War and Lost… Continue reading
