Yes it’s true… As much as Vince Young thought he’d be the one to avoid the curse, it struck him this past Sunday. Young was scrambling out of the pocket and was forced out of bounds. While it looked like he would just take a couple steps out of bounds he limped and then fell. [...]

I noticed my feet starting to hurt from while I’m at work. After a little investigation I noticed that I would bounce on the balls of my feet while engaging a problem. Basically anytime I had to really think about something. I haven’t found a solution for it yet, its just a habit. I started [...]

We finally get a recap of our second party of heroes and how they were rescued by a Baroque Ship. The first dungeon is pretty annoying. It’s a pirate ship where every floor and room looks almost identical. What makes it worse is that the enemies never change either. You’ll need to find the key [...]

I’ve been slacking… Even before I got to post about receiving issue #2, Jason sends me issue #3. I love how at the end of the issue it’ll say the guaranteed release date of the next issue, and they really have been keeping their word so far. I also like seeing the sketches and storyboards [...]

It took 5 games packed into Half Life Orange Box to match Halo 3’s IGN score of 9.5. To me Halo 3 still seems like Halo 2.5, yes I did just say that. Valve really put together a nice package here and we all were thinking it’d be difficult to follow just 2 weeks behind [...]

My only issue with renting this game from Gamefly is the lack of an instruction manual. Normally Gamefly would [...]

If you’ve been part of the Call of Duty 4 Beta you probably received an email early this morning saying that the Beta has finally ended. That means no more Call of Duty 4 until November. I can personally say that I’m excited about this release because playing the Beta was actually a lot of [...]

I finally got some time to sit down and play Halo 3 online for some countless hours. The first gripe I have is the match making. I really wish I could pick exactly what type of game I want to play. The lack of hosting is also intermixed into the problem. No single person sets [...]

It looks like companies like Gamestop are no longer stocking the old Core systems in preparation of the New Core systems that will include a wireless controller and a memory unit. Once the old Core systems are sold off the shelves you won’t see them anymore. They’ll be replace with these new and improved packages. [...]

I haven’t had that much time to play during the work week but I got around to finishing up Chapter 2. So in the last chapter we got to see some dungeons for the first time. And we even got to battle a real human villain. The boss fight seemed a little two easy [...]
