Stratergy time, zomg
Warcraft 3 (PC, 2002) : Definitely my favorite rts of all times. It's hard to beat! Very simple, easy to pick up, has a million mods, will run on virtually ever computer, and is a lot of fun. It harkens back to my younger days playing Warcraft 2. Some people are Starcraft fans, I'm a wc3 nut.

Advance Wars DS (DS, 2005) : My ( Read more... )

Time for massive and multiplayer
World of Warcraft (PC, 2004) : Though I may not be at the end game even 3 years (nearly 4) after release, I have to give credit where it is due. World of Warcraft is the best mmorpg I've ever played in my entire life. Fantastic art style and environments are what really set it apart from the bland looking generic ( Read more... )

shmup it up!
Ikaruga (GC, 2003) : Anyone who knows me will easily know that this category is a no-brain decision for this little beauty. I had gotten my gamecube for Animal Crossing a while before I found this game snuggling behind a bunch of other titles. I had remembered reading a PA comic about in which they mentioned the difficulty being like ( Read more... )

Sadly, I'm going to suspend any game listing for this in order to blurb a bit about the weekend and some other things. This weekend was definitely a summer ender. I couldn't have picked a better way to go out! Now I've got a nice long week to clean and get everything in order before classes start next Monday and I'm back to a completely different ( Read more... )

Doing up some Platformers
Yoshi's Island DS (DS, 2006) : I have to say, I'm definitely not a big platformer kind of guy, so this category was a harder one to think of. When I think about it though, I just love the Yoshi's Island series. More than even the regular Mario platformers! There is just something about the aesthetic, the storybook style, ( Read more... )

Let's do them shootan gaemz.
Bioshock (PC, 2007) : This one may come as a system shocker [hahahaha, I am clever] but my definite all time favorite shooter is Bioshock. It took all the best that System Shock 2 had to offer back when I first got my own computer and ran with it. Took the storytelling style and improved it, added more depth, added ( Read more... )

Time for some fightin' gaemz!
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (Arcade, 2006) : Without a doubt, hands down, my favorite fighting game. This sucker is probably my favorite multi player game of all time as well. It is just hard to beat! So much depth to the combat system, very rich environments and very unique characters. Not just that, but the ability to ( Read more... )

After the con, I've been really gung-ho about revisiting all my old favorites on their original formats and gathering them up. I dug up the SNES, the Atari 2600, and I plan on investing quite a bit of my time in cleaning them up, making sure I've got all the games I love (the ones I'll replay, pretty much) gathered together and kept safe so that I ( Read more... )

Calves of pain are my only memento of a weekend of awesome. Well, and the rest of the Akira mangas for an awesome price. I'll do a quick breakdown as there was a lot of wonderful moments but to list it all would be tedious and unfun ( Read more... )

Today marks the beginning of the greatest gift to mankind Eddie or I will ever bestow. That gift? A week of celebration of humanities most dreaded sins and awesome fun of it. Starting off with wrath today, you work your way all the way to lustful Saturday. I personally enjoy that you get a nice restful Friday right before the hot sexy action of ( Read more... )
