Legacy of Kain…
…the story of an arrogant man afflicted with a terrible curse.
…the tale of a faithful servant betrayed and murdered, given the chance to exact bloody revenge.

Following on from my scathing recommendation of the Jak (and [...]
Today I’m going to be a complete asshole. First I’m going to tell you about two fantastic PC games from a bygone era, ones which should really be played by everyone. Classics. Then I’m going to suggest that you go out and buy them as soon as possible. And when you go out to find [...]
I can barely see the computer screen to type this. I’ve gotten no sleep in the last week, it’s making me start to see things and my head hurts like hell. My wife lost her job and sits around at home all day. Our lives are falling apart but it doesn’t seem to matter, we’re [...]

Games are better than movies and TV - this is just my opinion, it isn’t my fault it happens to be right. The interactive element of video games is something that can’t be matched by other artistic pursuits (aside from emulating traits of it) and technology is rapidly catching up to insane developer dreams. Except, [...]
When I was a teen-aged teenager, we went on a school camp to a nondescript bushland area. At some point our group stumbled across a big cliff which pushed out over a large watering hole. Given our age and situation, some people decided to climb up to the top and dive into the water below. [...]
There are zombies everywhere. The gaming industry is bursting with extended franchises, long-running series, and ongoing characters - many of which started before some of their audience was born. It isn’t madness, of course - ontinuing an established brand has shown itself to be a crowd and pocket pleasing idea - but it does have [...]
