I’m sure everyone can recall a time, maybe it was back in grade school, when they were asked “if you were on an island and could only bring one <blank>, what would it be?” First of all, that question is fucking stupid but I do get the spirit of it. What’s the one game that could stave boredom the longest,
Sorry Insomniacs, I know you’ve missed me. Unfortunately other job prospects and that pesky reality thing had me put my reviews on hold for a while. I’m back now and ready to churn out an entire slew of reviews – a few titles from the end of last year and as always, the anticipated titles of this year. To start
They’re fucking Gold Chocobos. No seriously, the horse physics are so terrible it works out to your advantage. These things can go anywhere. From swimming across the ocean, to climbing a completely vertical rock face.
Stress has been high for me lately. Video games that I would normally play for enjoyment (some I wouldn’t play at all) become obligations.

It’s difficult to go into Batman: Arkham City without any expectations. I’m personally building up as much skepticism as possible for its release. Capturing lightning in a bottle twice is a difficult task for anyone and I worry that this game will have a difficult time realizing what made its predecessor so good. Basically, I’m calling you out Batman –
I have an odd relationship with Elder Scrolls. It’s difficult to cut through the hype and distortion on any Elder Scrolls game, for good or ill. I’m still undecided on Skyrim in other words. I cling to the high ground that I should play any big titles that come my way. As a reviewer it’s more about informing the masses
