Time for a little less FPS in my diet, also: pork.

Posted on September 16, 2007 by baudattitude

I took a look back and realized that 5 of the last 6 games I’ve played have been first-person shooters, so it’s time for a change of genre. I’m giving Trace Memory a shot. It’s a point-and-click style adventure game … Continue reading →

Being behind the times… not a bad thing.

Posted on September 15, 2007 by baudattitude

…because, I tell you, if I’d purchased and played Halo 2 back in 2004, I’d have been fuming for 3 years about that “ending.” That’s a little harsh, I guess. I’ve seen and read a lot worse cliffhangers, and some … Continue reading →

So I hear there’s this game called Halo.

Posted on September 10, 2007 by baudattitude

I’m occasionally a little stubborn. Let me explain further. I’ve owned an awful lot of game consoles, dating back to the Genesis, and I noticed that I had a habit of buying a console early in its lifespan and buying … Continue reading →

Speaking of Zombies…

Posted on September 4, 2007 by baudattitude

I tried to run through Dead Rising a couple of times, and didn’t do very well. Attempt 1 (several months ago): Die to first boss fight after not having saved for over an hour. Put the game aside in disgust, … Continue reading →

It’s true. Even though everyone is pretty much OK with Germany these days and has been for 60-odd years, Nazis are still considered pretty much fair game to gun down in videogames. This makes them one of the two Top … Continue reading →

That there, that was some pretty good Dark.

Posted on August 30, 2007 by baudattitude

I don’t know as I’d call it Perfect, but it was pretty good. One of the absolute worst “money spent” to “games completed” ratios I’ve ever had was buying a Nintendo 64. It did have some quality games – I … Continue reading →

Graphical overloads come in pairs.

Posted on August 30, 2007 by baudattitude

Osu! And a quandry

Posted on August 24, 2007 by baudattitude

You remember, back in 1992, back when you’d played the first Sonic absolutely to death and you were waiting desperately for Sonic 2 to come out, and when it did you burned through it in no time at all and … Continue reading →

Gameworld Nostalgia

Posted on July 29, 2007 by baudattitude

Proactively leveraging synergy.

Posted on July 28, 2007 by baudattitude

…or, in today’s installment, I am an idiot sometimes. We had planned to have my gamerspouse and his wife over to our place today to look at vacation photos, since we racked up about 4GB of photos on our recent … Continue reading →
