Great Tech Gifts 2010

This is something I’ve wanted to become more consistent with, as I usually post these lists sporadically and at poor times. I figure Black Friday is a good day to settle on this type of post, since it is the official start of Holiday Shopping. Amazon Kindle: This is number one on my list of recommendations. E-Readers have been around…

Tis the Season for Video Games

When I started playing video games again in September, it was after almost a year of not playing (I’m back on wagon?). In my defense, there was a lot of great video game going-ons this season. Between the tried and true Xbox 360 and their online environment, and the newly priced Ps3, there is a wealth of choices for the…

The Force Unleashed

Yesterday I beat The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360. This was a game I had been looking forward to as a Star Wars fan and as a programmer.

It is to video games what Star Wars is to movies. Books were written to talk about things not covered in the game and Peter…

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a video game. Heck, It’s been a while since I’ve played a video game. But as the school year thankfully and sadly (seeing as I’m a senior) came to an end, I found some time (and took some liberties) and decided to get and start a new game. That new game is Marvel…

Gears of War Follow Up

I finished Gears of War recently, and it was awesome. The game was short but left room for a sequel (Halo 2 esq). After playing the campaign on single player and co-op, I’ve gotta say Co-Op is so much more fun. Running the missions with a friend gives you that extra communication/fire power that at times you really need. I’m…
