Games I finished in 2011
Here it is. For the second year in a row, my huge ass list of videogames I finished this year. Make note, this is in no way any sort of Game of the Year list. A lot of these games weren’t even released in 2011. This is simply a list of the games I played form start to finish in chronological order. I managed to put away 25 this year. How many did you guys complete? Call of Duty: Black Ops -...

chyrstis: mattbrooker: Are tumblr notes broken. Or am I just crazy? Seems to be hit or miss. Some posts I can see likes and reblogs. Others I can’t see any. Is this maybe a result of spam accounts liking my shit and then fading off into non-existence? I’ve been wondering about this for a while too. It could be that, or maybe there’s some way to hide notes that I’m not even remotely...

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Impressions - Part...
My interest in playing different types of videogames certainly seems to broaden the older that I get. I’m a more patient and observant player these days. Far more willing to give a game the benefit of the doubt than when I was a kid. If a game didn’t grab me immediately, it was on to the next one. Or just back to another WCW vs. NWO: Revenge battle royale session with my man Rey...

Dead Space: Downfall - Play by Play
As a result of playing a ton of Dead Space 2 lately, I’ve convinced myself that watching Dead Space: Downfall (the story of what happened before the events on the USG Ishimura)  and documenting my experience might be fun. I have no idea what I’m getting into, but EA releases so much shit related to this franchise that one of these things has gotta be awesome, right? Here’s a...

Dead Space 2 Review
I didn’t have a whole lot of expectations jumping into the second (or technically 3rd? or 4th, maybe?) installment in Visceral Games’ sci-fi survival horror series. I generally enjoyed the first game, even if it did result in me banging my head against a wall during those nightmarish turret sequences or the memorable y-axis flip during the final boss fight. But, it’s...

Games Completed: 2010
I have to preface by saying that this is not in any way a “Best of 2010” list. Since last year, I’ve been making a point to keep track of every game I play to completion. This list was compiled chronologically throughout the year and each blurb was written shortly after the game was finished. It’s not the most interesting thing ever, but I’m pretty psyched to...

Games Exploration: The Darksiders Theory
So, I started playing through Darksiders recently, and it’s caused me to think a lot about exploration in video games. I’ve never been one to seek out every area, item, or powerup in a game. I’m not really much of a completionist. For the most part, I like to play a game without a list of goals in mind. It’s more fun for me to just discover a world as I come across it,...

Things That Would Make Borderlands More Awesome
Within just a week since its release, I’ve already sunk more hours into Borderlands than any other game this year. Not unlike the number of weapon types in the game, there are 87 bazillion reasons why I love Borderlands. However, no game is perfect, and it certainly has its faults. Here’s a short list of things that I think would make Borderlands a little more awesome. 1. Patch...

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Impressions
Man, I did not plan on making another new game purchase this Fall. But after playing through the Left 4 Dead 2 demo a few times this afternoon, things are going to be pretty tempting come November 17th. I played through the demo content twice by myself (once on normal and then advanced) and once with one other human player. I plan on trying out some online play and 4-player co-op later on ...

Bayonetta Demo Impressions
Bayonetta is a game that’s been sort of hanging out in the back of my mind since late summer. While I do enjoy the occasional action game, I hadn’t really been anticipating it too much. I’m usually terrible at these sort of games and I can never really see them beating out RPGs, shooters, or platformers on my list of favorite genres. That being said, I’m a huge fan of...

Scribblenauts Review
From the “Best Original Game” award at E3 to the incredibly positive fan reception afterward, the general hype surrounding 5th Cell’s Scribblenauts continued to build and build right up until its release. I, too, was pumped about the game and was even a bit worried about attempting to objectively write a review without letting my constantly growing Scribblenauts erection...

Coming Back to Left 4 Dead
As the result of an unfortunate disc-cracking incident earlier this year, I was Left 4 Dead-less for a total of 6 months. I just recently picked up a new copy of the game after a used copy price drop. I considered waiting for Left 4 Dead 2 and opting out of buying a working copy of the first game, but my lack of time spent with survival mode and the prospect of additional DLC convinced me to...

Red Faction: Guerrila Review
Red Faction: Guerrilla is an third-person open-world action game developed by Volition, Inc for the Xbox 360 and PS3. You’ll assume the role of freelance miner Alec Mason, a newcomer to Mars, who’s made the trip in hopes of mining for red planet coinage with his brother Dan. Things immediately go awry when Dan is mercilessly killed in a “misunderstanding” with the...
