I’ve mentioned before that Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars for the PS3 was one of the surprise PSN hits for my family. It’s certainly one of the games that got the most hours last generation. In essence, it was soccer played with RC cars that could jump, boost and blow each other up. Well, I’m ecstatic …

Sony is having a Black Friday Flash Sale on PS4/PS3 games. Here’s the link.

In short, I can’t stop playing. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a fun, compelling game. It thrusts you behind enemy lines with a wicked skill set that just keeps growing. You constantly get more deadly. While few of the parts are shiny and new, they’re put together masterfully. I grabbed the PC version because …

I thought I had my problems solved earlier, but some new ones popped up. I think I’ve gotten a handle on things now. Essentially, I’ve reinstalled the latest version of WordPress. Again, let me know if you experience any problems. Thanks for your patience.

I picked up Injustice: Gods Among Us (PS4) on a PSN sale recently. I’m definitely more in the Capcom/Street Fighter camp than the Mortal Kombat camp, but I’ve enjoyed them as a diversion. I also enjoy superhero games. There are far too few good ones. I haven’t had much time to play, but I did …

I still suck at this game. I just don’t see the path fast enough and reactions can’t compensate any more. At least I only waste a few seconds per try. I think I’ll go back to Threes.

I apologize if you’ve had any problems with the site lately. There have been a few technical problems with the site I’ve had to fix. WordPress has been so reliable that I sometimes forget all the times I had to fight with the old content management system. It’s almost shocking when it does have problems …

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. Video games change the way you dream. One of the things I’ve love about games is the way they encourage flexible thinking. I’m also a fan of increased agency in dreams, games and real life. Future games should give us more freedom to choose our own …

Call it Frozen Cortex. Apparently the developers were tired of the ‘Frendzone’ jokes and the confusion about the game simulating American Football. The robot players and randomly generated field weren’t enough to distinguish it from Madden. Or maybe the NFL isn’t as universal as we Americans like to think it is. Regardless, anything from the …

UPDATE: Microsoft has reversed itself again. Tables will now import, but launch has been delayed to implement this. Another win for gamers, but another unnecessary PR body blow for Microsoft. The original post follows: Microsoft came off a pretty good E3. Many were wondering if they’ve turned the corner. I may be wrong, but this …
