Posted on June 4, 2012 by baudattitude

Let’s roll back the clock about a year, to June 19th of last year.  At that time, I’d just finished playing “Peggle Extreme”, a game featuring unicorns, just after an article about Secret of the Magic Crystals, another game featuring … Continue reading →

Today, I Am A Man

Posted on June 3, 2012 by baudattitude

I have to say that, because yesterday I was a gibbering ball of jelly. Amnesia has this … reputation.  It’s one of the few games that is generally considered to be genuinely frightening by even the most jaded fan of … Continue reading →

Wait, how’s that again?

Done Defending

Posted on May 15, 2012 by baudattitude

In which, I play a questionable iPad game.

Posted on May 9, 2012 by baudattitude

Several months ago, when the iPad 2 was released, I inherited my wife’s old iPad 1. This is a pretty normal way for me to get hardware, by the way, through the hand-me-down process.  It’s a beautiful thing. Anyway, I … Continue reading →
