20 Months Later…

Posted on December 15, 2008 by baudattitude

One of my very first posts was me talking about how I’d gone through the backlog, picked out half-a-dozen of the most critically acclaimed games I owned, and then set all of them aside and played Shenmue instead. To save … 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 →

Spiky Haired Freaks And Me

Posted on December 12, 2008 by baudattitude

It’s been a bit over a decade since my wife and I played through Final Fantasy VII, but one thing sticks with me. Well, a few things, really.  Chocobo racing, giant nasty sandworms, flower girls meeting unfortunate ends… but mostly … 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 →

One Furry Thing. One Robot. Ten Thousand Bullets.

Posted on December 3, 2008 by baudattitude

Control Issues

Posted on November 27, 2008 by baudattitude

As previously mentioned, I tried Resistance: Fall Of Man recently and quite liked it. I was getting really fed up about the controls, though, particularly the commands assigned to the L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons, until I realized that I may have, for … Continue reading →

Resisting Falling Mans

Posted on November 26, 2008 by baudattitude

…something like that. Our PS3 gets frequent use as a Blu-Ray player, but doesn’t get a whole lot of use as a game console, mostly because the games are still so expensive.  There are an awful lot of really decent … Continue reading →

In Which, I Rant About Sequels

Posted on November 24, 2008 by baudattitude

So, I have a good friend who occasionally comes over for a day of couch-potatoing.  It’s good in several ways, especially because it helps me cope with the schedule of full-time-work and full-time-school that I’ve saddled myself with, by blowing … Continue reading →

Killer 7 : Final thoughts

Posted on November 19, 2008 by baudattitude

There’s a particular Japanese ghost story that I see repeated quite often, with some variation – that, not knowing the official name, I think of as the “extra person” story.  If you’ve ever seen They Were Eleven, you have the … Continue reading →
