Giantbomb, Jeff Gerstmann’s life after Gamespot.

I admit, Ive never been a big fan of Gamespot, as far as reading the website (I do listen to the podcast). So news of Jeff Gerstmann getting fired was almost non news to me. I didn’t know who Jeff Gerstmann was. The thing that did make me interested in that news was the controversy [...]

The new E3, its not what it use to be!!!

With E3 ending last week, Ive been hearing a lot of post E3 news on all of the podcast and gaming websites. One thing that seems to always come up is comparing the new E3 to the old E3. How much worse it is now than it was before or vice versa. Of coarse we [...]

GOW2 reminds me of another era of gaming

Yesterday I was watching the E3 press conferences from the big 3 consoles makers, which of coarse the Microsoft conference is the one I paid most attention too, since I own a 360. I also own a Wii but to be honest, there’s not much on the Wii that interest me. A little way through [...]

Will we ever see an MMORPG on a console?

Back on MMORPGs, recently there was news that Microsoft has canceled the once announced Marvel based MMORPG. This particular game was being developed by Cryptic studios, the same dev house that made another super hero MMORPG, City of heroes.  If you remember, back in the original Xbox days, there was a MMORPG in development for [...]

Peggle, a little known PC gaming gem

Back in 2007 I heard about a little game called Peggle that the crew from the PC gamer podcast was going crazy over. They talked about it so much that I had to try it or myself. so I headed over to Popcap and tried out the trial, eventually purchasing the game. Loving every minute [...]
