Currently Playing

I'm currently playing Dragon Age: Origins having missed out on it since it's release.

I just got done a binge of playing a variety of games I got used. Mirror's Edge, Singularity, FEAR 3, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and Dante's Inferno all finished in the past 2 weeks. I'm also playing a little bit of Demon's Souls.

Well I'm liking Dragon Age: Origins so far after I'm about 30 hours in I found I missed a needed couple of characters in my group. So I got mad and started over. At least I know everything up to that point so getting back won't take as long but still requires a good 20+ hours to get back.

I'm enjoying and loving the story and conversations. I had plenty of laughs with the random jargon from the party during my adventures.

I want to say more but I'm just trying to get into a rhythm posting and this game is pretty old so I doubt others want to hear another review of an old game.

Batman: Arkham City Review

I just recently finished playing Batman: Arkham City. I found it to be very well presented and its value easily be worth more than the initial $60. After increasing the games size by around 4 times the original it helped flesh out the world and add tons more content. The side missions alone could be placed into its own game and the Riddler collectibles and challenges could be one in itself as well. The game kept me playing for more than I expected. After the game was over I did go to IGN to gather all the collectibles and finish Riddlers riddles and some side missions. Other than that the game will walk you through the main story and leave everything else to exploration all in a good way. You can easily get about half the collectibles and side missions done along side the main story line to leave you much more after it's all over. First things to notice is the size of the game. It tires to cram in so many ties to Batman lore it's really insane that this place isn...

Starting Over

It's always on our minds. Should I start a blog and write about what I enjoy and love so much? Do I have enough time to? If they can do it so can I but do I have the motivation? The answer is yes. Do it and you got nothing to loose. If it's anything I've learned as a gamer all it takes is a spark to get up on your feet and get it done. Thanks to  Avery Lir  who runs his own blog over at  PocketChomp.com  I'm gonna give it a go and try to blog regularly. I'll start up my own site eventually if I can hash out some details later fun stuff. I already got the twitter and Kotaku account z777ik, I'm also on IGN.com as well as others like Gamasutracom. I have plenty of article ideas and such so I'll be fleshing those out in the mean time. Yes some are opinionated rants but who cares as long as they are not the mindless rants you see else where. My topics will include such things as upcoming games and new releases. Hot button issues in gaming like multiplayer do...

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Demo Thoughts

My thoughts on the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (Reckoning) are that it is what I wanted Fable to be. I like the third person view and fluid combat and in depth RPG elements. It's like Skyrim + Fable + God of War + Dragon Age = Reckoning. Traveling felt nice and didn't feel to slow or that I was walking forever with nothing to do. I can easily collect items on the run making gathering really easy. Not a lot of loading from what I can see and the loading there is it's fast and your not kept waiting for long. Looting is the most notable change that needs a little getting use to. I found myself just taking all then looking in my inventory and equip the new weapon I just got. Now you can just check to see if it's better right then and there and equip real quick. Also putting stuff in a junk slot makes it nice to just go to vendor hit sell all junk and leave, something even MMOs lack. Combat felt very nice and fluid while dodging and attacking. Melee weapons a...
