Dear Journal, Today I… well really I just played a very mediocre shooter. That’s what I did. Once when I was on a message board, probably CAG, someone said (in reference to Bodycount) that “Codemasters doesn’t make bad games!” They of course were being sarcastic, because the truth is that Codemasters hasn’t had a lot of successes lately. Bodycount offered […]

Dear Journal, Today I did a barrel roll, and I did it good. Let’s just be honest here; almost any one reading this site has at some point and time in their lives played Star Fox 64 assuming they are not younger than the game itself. Star Fox was one of the biggest and best games the N64 ever offered, […]

Dear Journal, Today I put on a mask and am pretty sure The Devil started harassing me. Splatterhouse is a classic arcade game that Namco decided to reboot into a bloody free for all. Shot down by a perverted evil doctor, you know the type, trying to resurrect his dead wife by using your hot girlfriend and has a old […]

Dear Journal, Today I found out that two Spider-Men (mans?) are not always better than one. Spider-Man: Edge of time was Activision’s follow up to the sleeper hit Shattered Dimensions that took the more traditional Spider-Man and teamed it up with the surprise star from Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man 2099. Together the duo must fight to restore the proper time-line after […]

Dear Journal, Today I kicked a Spinosaurus’ ass. Jurassic: The Hunted is one of those games that I’ve probably seen a million times and have always wondered whether or not I should play it. I knew it wouldn’t be all that good, there was no way, but (perhaps brought on by early memories of Turok) something in me needed to […]

Dear Journal, Today I fought a giant centipede for control of a garden. Centipede is pretty much what you would call a classic. The game has been around forever and has existed in almost as many forms as there are legs on a giant centipede. So a “true reboot” of the franchise sounded interesting, and the bright colorful graphics of […]

Dear Journal, Today I spent some time with my psychotic father hunting deranged animals all over the world. That is to say, what the hell did I just play? I had seen them in stores quite a bit, and there is no shortage of them, so I had wondered for quite some time just what these Cabela’s games had to […]

Dear Journal, Today I realized I have a problem. How did this all begin anyway? I suppose I have Cheap Ass Gamer to blame, at least in part. At what point does a deal on a video game literally become so good that you can’t resist it? Well, apparently, for me that point doesn’t take much. I mean, how did […]
Read moreI don’t have to sell you on Wes Anderson, right? I mean, he’s the indie / art film director whom it’s okay for everyone to like, isn’t he? After all, he’s always got Bill Murray in his corner, and everyone except for Communists and child molesters loves Bill Murray. And surely, this site doesn’t attract the kind of people who […]

Cannon Cat, by Loqheart, is an iOS only game where a flightless bird named Evil Emu, out of jealousy has captured all the flying fish, known as “Skyfish,” trapping them in bubbles.
