More Downloaded Titles and COD:BLOPS

After playing through the Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign this week and being really disappointed I moved on to playing a bunch of downloadable titles. I’m glad I just rented COD:BLOPS because I’m not really into the multiplayer style and the campaign was not great.  The actual story was pretty interesting this time around […]

Fireball and Faery Impressions

Having finished Fallout: New Vegas I spent the last couple days playing Rock Band 3 (review coming at some point), Radiangames Fireball and Faery: Legends of Avalon.  Fireball is similar to passivism mode in Geometry Wars but expanded to a full game.  At just $1 it is my value game for the week because I’ve […]

I was pleasantly surprised how much fun I had playing Pinball FX 2. The […]

Costume Quest Impressions

I purchased Costume Quest Wednesday evening and finished it last night with all of the achievements completed. It took me just under 5 hours to finish and while that does seem kind of short when I think about it now I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the game. Double Fine has made fun, simple action […]

Space Invaders Infinity Gene Impressions

I’ve always been a sucker for Space Invader games.  I’m not that great at them but there is something about the simplicity and nostalgia that keeps me playing each new version. So, when  Space Invaders Infinity Gene hit Xbox Live Arcade I knew I’d be spending some time with it.  I’ve got my full review […]

Plants vs Zombies Impressions

I intentionally waited to play Plants vs Zombies when it released on Xbox Live Arcade so I could get the achievements for it. I played the demo of the PC version quite a while back and never got around to buying it. Then the rumors it was coming to XBLA started and I decided to […]

DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue Impressions

I thoroughly enjoyed DeathSpank . I even gave it a 10/10 (here). So, when they announced that DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue would be out a month after the release of the first one I was pretty pumped.  I played through DeathSpank TOV this last weekend and has a great time with it.  It is just […]
