I recently played all the way through the original Deus Ex again. It’s funny to think that the last time (also the first time) I played through it was in first year of university, at St. Jerome’s. My laptop couldn’t handle the game so I had to borrow Ryan’s computer to play it. Then I [...]

Today’s Zero Punctuation has led me to realize that I often play games primarily for the story, plot, setting and visual aesthetic of the setting. In fact, if I’m really into a couple of those things, I will tolerate awful cameras, terrible controls and even sub-par gameplay. Case-in-point: Reasons why I play Silent Hill games. [...]

I can’t really talk about the best games of 2007 because I didn’t play every game that came out this year. Even if I had, it’s all subjective anyway. What I can talk about are my favourite games of 2007, and why. I can also give random awards to games that deserve recognition. So let’s [...]

I’m fairly sure Matt isn’t just touching himself with the Wiimote.

While Matt and J faced off in Tetris DS, the girls traded off every life/level in Super Mario World.

Today I spent Christmas with my family, for the first time in 7 years.

Two of Emma’s presents were larger than she was!

One was a My Size Barbie, the other was a 3-story Barbie house.

Peanut could smell out her own present…

And this was seconds before my sister started crying over her present:

As much fun as Mario Galaxy is, and it is all kinds of fun, it leaves a little part of me wanting something more. It just doesn’t fill my serious gaming requirement. Don’t get me wrong, Mario Galaxy is 100% gaming joy - it just doesn’t have any of the serious aspect I require.
To help [...]
