Dear Journal, Today I got to essentially give a game a second chance, but also play a new game at the same time. Thor: God of Thunder’s Xbox 360 cousin left more than a bad taste in my mouth. It was one of the worst games I played last year and until Backlog Quest II it was the lowest rated […]

That said, it’s rare that something like the opening of an art gallery can tear me away from Netflix or a cold beer. Apparently though, all it […]

I had a chance to briefly play Scribblenauts a couple years ago on a friend’s Nintendo DS. I was instantly blown away with the game. As iOS devices are the only gaming devices I own, I hoped someday it would make an appearance in the App Store. Last month, I happened to notice the game had finally made its way […]
