Video Games. Interactive Entertainment.

Whatever you call them, they’re probably going to stick around for a while. This section includes everything from the Apple ][e on to whatever the current console is.

Dragon Age: Updates

I almost hate to admit it but I may have reached that quitting point about six hours into Dragon Age: Origins.
Spoiler alert.  You may want to not read this.  For courtesy’s sake, I’m putting in a cut and all story related issues will be afterwards.
It’s not that I dislike Dragon Age: Origins.  In fact, I [...]

Dragon Age: Origins

I have this on again, off again relationship with any game that features the Role Playing Game genre.
While I do like the stories, it’s quite often that I’ll get about 14 hours in before I find that I’m no longer engaged, and the gameplay isn’t enough for me to continue.

Nine, nine, ninety-nine to nine, nine, oh-nine

It’s been ten years since the midnight I liberated a chair from the Pentagon City food court and parked myself in front of the Electronics Boutique.

inFamous for the PS3 is one of those games I think would work well as a movie.  I’ve been playing it non stop for a while now, and I’m pretty close to completing it, I think.  I’m actually going through and doing all the side missions.
In a twist of character, I’ve actually selected the side [...]

Flower, Part 2

I realize that I did Flower a disservice.  I’ve just recently finished it and while I still don’t know what happened, I enjoyed the journey very much.  There were times when I was just filled with elation after discovering some new ability, or interaction with the landscape.  I can’t go into it too much without [...]
