No Unicorns Whatsoever

Posted on June 23, 2011 by baudattitude

So, if past years are anything to go by, there’s a Steam Summer Sale coming soon, and if you like cheap games, it’s like a little Christmas in June. It’s also a reason to pause and reflect on the games … Continue reading →

Speaking of Unicorns…

Posted on June 19, 2011 by baudattitude

My excursion into casual gaming is in no way an indication of any sort of unicorn fixation.  It’s a curious coincidence and nothing more. I do not have a unicorn problem. Let’s proceed, shall we? Popcap’s “Peggle” franchise was, before … Continue reading →

Posted on June 15, 2011 by baudattitude

  So I noticed something very odd when I booted my Windows box yesterday, specifically something very odd on my Steam friends list. I had two friends on and actively in-game, and both of them were playing something called Secret … Continue reading →

Posted on June 9, 2011 by baudattitude

Country Roads, take me Homefront.

Posted on June 6, 2011 by baudattitude

A couple of months ago, I bought THQ’s Red-Dawn-inspired shooter, Homefront, played it for a little over two hours, put it down in disgust and immediately got sucked into Rift. Last night, I decided that I would pick it back … Continue reading →

There’s a (Home)front Coming…

Posted on April 21, 2011 by baudattitude

It’s probably not fair to write a review of Homefront after only playing through three levels of it. There are, after all, seven levels and I’ve played plenty of games that didn’t really take off until fairly late in the … Continue reading →

I beat EQ2

Posted on April 19, 2011 by baudattitude

TROFF

Posted on March 2, 2011 by baudattitude
