X-Blades: Oops

Posted on March 8, 2009 by baudattitude

I’ve been playing X-Blades off and on for the last couple of weeks and have been having great fun with it.  It’s gotten some absolutely atrocious reviews, but I’m not sure where the hate is coming from – yeah, it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on March 4, 2009 by baudattitude

OK, like I REALLY needed to add more to my backlog. But, see, I stumbled across a link to a pretty decent coupon this morning: $20 off any of a pretty long list of (older) PC games at Best Buy.  … Continue reading →

Fear, Expanded:

Posted on December 13, 2008 by baudattitude

The basic premise behind an expansion pack, like FEAR : Extraction Point, is pretty simple and one which I approve of – if you liked a game, it gives you some more of the same thing, and then adds a … Continue reading →

Then came the expansion…

Posted on December 11, 2008 by baudattitude

I made fun of F.E.A.R., earlier, for not really being all that scary of a game.  I stand by my statements there. The expansion pack, “Extraction Point”, however – THAT is pushing all the right buttons in making me jump.  … Continue reading →

F.E.A.R. and Unicorns

Posted on December 8, 2008 by baudattitude

So, what connection does Monolith’s FPS “F.E.A.R.” have with unicorns? Well, honestly, no connection at all, but I had to stomp down hard on my urge to title this “F.E.A.R. and Loathing”, and I think I deserve some credit for … Continue reading →

Would you kindly…

…share in my sense of accomplishment? It took staying up far, far too late, but I am done with Rapture, and of course got the “mega happy” ending because I’m such a swell guy. Enough good things have been said … Continue reading →

I TOTALLY did not see that coming

Posted on October 15, 2008 by baudattitude

Shocking Bio, Crashing Ninja

Posted on October 13, 2008 by baudattitude

Playing through Omegane Teacher until I’d unlocked everything restored enough of my pervy fanboy cred that I felt justified in installing Bioshock and giving it a try. Amazingly, it’s not that I bought Bioshock at launch for full price and … Continue reading →

OK, now, THIS is shameless pandering.

Posted on October 10, 2008 by baudattitude

The concept of “unlockables” in games has been around since, oh, shortly after some bearded guy in California got the bright idea to simulate table tennis with a CRT and a handful of discrete logic ICs. As far as rewards … Continue reading →

I have not lost my way.

Posted on October 9, 2008 by baudattitude
