Saint’s Row 2

So firstly, i must be very honest.  I never played the first Saint’s Row.  I know, I know but the thug life never appealed to me.  Recently though I was looking for my latest review and thought that in the interest of gamers it would not really serve to only review games I like.  So [...]


Old Games are All Memory Games!

I am an original gamer kid - raised on the glories of Atari-era Frogger and Nintendo’s first Mario game. My memories of those games are so awesome, and I recall the satisfaction of beating the first Mario and Zelda games when I was but a wee gamer.
Recently inspired by these thoughts, I borrowed the Bear’s [...]


Fable II, In Review

For those who hate casual RPGs, this game will not appeal. Fable is not like Final Fantasy - there are no truly epic boss fights, nothing to agonize over. Each major fight is only a moderate challenge along the main quest line, and it is very easy to become lost in side-quests, working at being [...]


Red Alert 3

So once again a game croons to me with its siren call.  A lure to rush to its sweet rapture and the ever possible death upon jagged rocks of poor gameplay and misery of failed promise.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 hits store shelves soon, and I am feeling quite attracted to purchasing said digital [...]


The Top 5 things I’ve learned from Spore.

So uh I was really very skeptical of any kind of enjoyment out of this game.  Don’t get me wrong I enjoy Maxis games… up to a point.  The first Sims was a great time waster and very much surpassed by it’s relative Sims 2, but creature evolution type of game?  DNA points?  Penis monsters?   [...]


The Top Five Things I’ve Learned From Spore

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard the basic game mechanics. Cell stage is fast and introduces you to the concepts, while the creature stage is longer and filled with changes. My favorite part of any game is character creation, so the concept of getting DNA points to continually change your creation during [...]


Black Reach!

Hey all you forest dwellers!  I got my cute little paws on the new Assault on Black Reach set for Warhammer 40K.  I have to tell you I was very eager to get into this set, the sheer number of models promised was enough to pique my interest.
First impression right off the bat as I [...]


Warhammer Online

Freaking cannot wait.  No seriously, I am going out of my lil bear mind waiting to try this new MMO.  I was brought into the world of WoW by Monkey and really liked for reasons too numerous to really list in its entirety.  Suffice to say I was a huge fan of the RTS and [...]


Strange New Worlds…

So was reading through my various gamer news sites, and really like the coming along of the next MMO that I’m really keeping an eye in, Star Trek Online.
I really liek the way things are shaping up and have confidence that it will be something of a real treat to trek fans.  I get this [...]


Wii Fit

Mr. Bear gave me two surprise gifts last night. The first was Hellboy! He’s about 3″ tall, and both his fists, head and tail can be popped off with a bit of prying. He came with a gun, and a keychain thingie. He is holding a pink pencil sharpener at gunpoint right now. I [...]
