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

Technically, I didn’t beat EQ2.  It’s a MMORPG, after all, a genre that is by definition unbeatable.  I mean, pretty much every one of them has a Super Ultimate Boss Fight that can count as “beating” the game, but since … Continue reading →

I kinda want this bag

Posted on April 8, 2011 by baudattitude

It’s not a purse, right?  Even though this person is carrying it as a purse?  It’s a bag, the sorts of which any man might be excused for wanting? Screw it.  Purse or no, it’s pretty keen.

Posted on March 2, 2011 by baudattitude

A couple of weeks ago, I realized that I had some Best Buy gift certificates that were about to expire, so I went out to our local store to try to find something to buy with them. I wound up … Continue reading →

Sidekick: The Game

Posted on February 26, 2011 by baudattitude

Back in August of 2009, out of a vague sense of obligation, I played through the first Jax & Daxter game. My conclusion at the time was that it was, if not particularly overwhelming, at least OK.  I thought it … Continue reading →

Nope, didn’t end well.

Posted on February 20, 2011 by baudattitude

So, at the very end, Halo: Reach delivers exactly what it promised in the opening cinematic:  Your broken helmet lying on the ground and your character dead. The trick that Bungie needed to pull off, then, was to make a … Continue reading →

This won’t end well.

Posted on February 15, 2011 by baudattitude

Within the first two minutes of starting Halo: Reach’s single player campaign, you’re treated to the sight of your helmet lying in the middle of a wasteland. This is probably the first clue that things really aren’t going to work … Continue reading →

Sorry, fellas, she’s taken.

Posted on February 14, 2011 by baudattitude

So today was of course Valentine’s day, otherwise known as Christmas II for anyone in the flowers, chocolate, or jewelry industries. For the record, I went with option (3), and got my wife a string of freshwater pearls and matching … Continue reading →

Hey, the 360 still works.

Posted on February 13, 2011 by baudattitude

I haven’t played an Xbox 360 game in about five months, ever since finishing “Bayonetta”, so it’s good to see that the thing is still fully operational – I did have to run a dashboard update, of course, but that’s … Continue reading →
