Done Defending

Posted on May 15, 2012 by baudattitude

I finished Fantasy Defense tonight, marking the first time that I’ve played a “serious” iOS game to completion, and I’m starting to see what the doomsayers are talking about when they question the future of dedicated gaming handhelds.  I spent … Continue reading →

In which, I play a questionable iPad game.

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 →

Bang for the buck.

Posted on May 6, 2012 by baudattitude

I think I’ll be moving Blades of Time off of my active play stack and in to the category of games I boot up when there’s a Steam sale and a related spike in population.  I’ve had a ton of … Continue reading →

Blades of Time

Yar’s Revenge (have you played Atari today?)

Posted on April 11, 2012 by baudattitude

Better than the Movie

Posted on April 1, 2012 by baudattitude

Last year’s Green Lantern movie was a bit of a confusing mess, trying to mash the highlights of a character with 50 years of backstory into 2 hours and failing miserably in the process. Granted, Green Lantern is one of … Continue reading →

Steam Sales are fantastic things.  I mean, sure, they’ve left me with a virtual backlog that beggars belief, and they’ve made me give companies money for some truly questionable bits of software, but they’ve also made me take a chance … Continue reading →

What if?

Posted on March 26, 2012 by baudattitude

I think that “what if?” is one of the most fundamental human questions, like “who am I?” or “what is my purpose in life?” There are a ton of What Ifs in life, like “what would happen if Superman fought … Continue reading →

Eff-Three-Arr

Posted on March 25, 2012 by baudattitude

Last June, a friend of mine who happens to work for Warner Brothers in Canada sent me a big care package full of their latest games & movies. It was a pretty classy care package and I didn’t do it … Continue reading →
