I loved Dug Dug back in the day.  And it was the first game I bought for the Xbox Live Arcade.

A Tale Fraught with Peril and Wonder

While wandering the dealer and exhibitor halls at Dragon*Con, I came across an interesting booth.  What caught my eye initially was a screenshot with a very distinctive graphical style, something I’ve seen many times before.  It was a shot from a “Rogue-like” computer game.  I’ve loved that style of game ever since I first encountered […]

Striking a blow for freedom!

I’ve got a large backlog of games to play for quite some time to come. I’m really not hurting for ways to entertain myself at all. But in light of all the controversy over the latest edition of the Grand Theft Auto series, I figured I ought to go ahead and pick it […]

Weekend of Rock!

After a surprisingly exhausting week, I came home from work, hit the recliner to relax with some video gaming, and promptly fell asleep, controller in hand. Fortunately, I woke up in plenty of time to check my Twitter feed and find that Chad had left a couple of tweets bemoaning the lack of rock […]

Something as awesome as the Rockers of the Ready Room cried out to be posted:
