Say hello to an old friend – the Killerspiele discussion is back!

March 19, 2009 – 1:39 am

Those who know me know that I like to play video games. I like a variety of games, as the list of my favourite Xbox games shows, as well as many 360 games, such as Dead Rising, Oblivion, Mass Effect, Rainbow 6 Vegas and other games more commonly referred to as ‘kiddie games’. I have [...]

All about games..

December 23, 2007 – 3:36 am

As my internet wasn’t working properly in the last week, I’ve had a bit more time gaming which coincided perfectly with some new games I’ve been getting and others I’ve completed. Assassin’s Creed: As I mentioned in my ‘first impressions’ post I wasn’t too impressed with Assassin’s Creed. My opinion didn’t much change throughout playing [...]

“Some video games are for kids. Some aren’t.”

December 10, 2007 – 8:54 am

The state of Delaware is starting a new campaign in association with the ESRB with advertisements, such as this one, all over the place. It’s to educate parents to understand the rating system for games better and to ensure that they only buy games appropriate to the age of their children. Personally I think that’s [...]

Assassin’s Creed – First impressions

December 8, 2007 – 12:26 pm

I decided to wait until buying Assassin’s Creed, as Mass Effect was round the corner and the reviews for Assassin’s Creed weren’t too good. I finally got it this morning and so far I’m not at all convinced. Overlong tutorial. Tutorial computer voice. Can she speak any slower? Too many too long cutscenes. Who cares [...]

Mass Effect – Thoughts after the first completion

November 29, 2007 – 12:54 pm

People always seem to deal in extremes, best and worst. So it’s pretty much all the time that someone asks me what my favourite film, song, band, book, game, food, you name it is. It may be because I’m just so indecisive that I cannot decide and infact like a variety of things. Ask me [...]

It’s all over now, I am now completely in Mass Effect mode and cannot wait for it to come out, as I’ve mentioned before. Sadly it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to secure an early copy, so I’ll have to wait another six days.. The story revolves around an ancient alien prophecy stating that [...]
