Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr Ned Review

Since I can’t actually play Borderlands right now I wrote up my review of the new DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr Ned, on my lunch break.  I’ve played through Zombie Island almost two complete times since it released last Tuesday, and I’ve really enjoyed it.  The second time was on Playthrough 2 so it […]

Gaming Over Thanksgiving Weekend

I know things have been quiet around here.  I’ve been playing more Borderlands mostly, but I also started Assassins Creed 2. Plus, I played through the Torchlight demo again. Lots of gaming over the long weekend and not a lot of blogging. I’ll try to update more next week. Since Borderlands (my review) got its […]

Valve’s Gamer Holiday Cards

I don’t generally send Christmas cards, but I may start this year because Valve has some really fun Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2 holiday cards. The only thing holding me back is that a box of 10 is $16. Seems a little steep to me but then I don’t […]

Dark Void Looks Interesting

I’ve been following Dark Void for since I first heard about it because I’m a fan of SciFi games and shooters. So, combining those two things and adding a vertical element with a jet jack sounds pretty interesting. Obviously things like how the game controls and AI will be important in a shooter where you […]

Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Impressions

Microsoft publicly released a beta for Microsoft Office 2010 Professional yesterday. Normally I’m not a fan of beta testing another company’s software for them,but since the Windows 7 Release Candidate runs so nicely on my home system I decided to give it a shot. I mostly use Office for Outlook, Word, Excel, and the occasionally […]

Wool vs Flock! on Xbox Live

When Wool released on Xbox Live Indie Games this week I tried out the demo right away because the art looks really nice and I like action puzzle games.  In the game you play as a sheep dog who is responsible for corralling the sheep in the level safely.  There are white sheep, black sheep […]

Bayonetta First Climax Demo Impressions

I got early access to the Bayonetta demo for the Xbox 360 today. I’m not really a fan of this style of combo driven fighting game (think Devil May Cry – which was not really my thing), but I can’t turn down the chance to try a game early.  I started the Bayonetta: First Climax […]

Borderlands (Xbox 360) Review

I’ve been playing Borderlands 2 or 3 nights a week with a group of guys and really enjoying it.  I think we’re about 2/3 of the way through the story currently but I’m not 10o% sure on that.  I’ve been writing my review of Borderlands for a few days now and I finally got it […]

55,555 Gamerscore!

I realized yesterday that I had 55,542 Gamerscore points so I needed just 13 more to hit hit an even 55,555. I can’t remember the last time I had a Gamerscore ending a “5” or “0”. However, after a little discussion on Twitter I had a couple people point out that The Orange Box has […]

Completed Sol Survivor Campaign

I finally finished off the campaign on Sol Survivor this afternoon.  I was late to the Community Gaming Session so I decided I would try to complete the last level (again).  Fortunately, after trying it a few times I found a strategy that worked well and completed all 30 waves without loosing a single life.
