Mechwarrior Online: Closed Beta Impressions
When I was growing up, a friend and I were really big into a board game called Mechwarrior. Essentially, it pitted huge robots against each other until one side one. It was a lot like Dungeons and Dragons – in the sense that you rolled dice to see if your weapons hit, where they hit, [...]
Star Wars Old Republic Free Weekend
So Star Wars, the Old Republic is having a free weekend so I decided to give it a whirl. Here are my quick thoughts on this game, pro’s and con’s. Probably same things written by many other people, but oh well. Pro’s: Voice acting is fantastic. It makes you feel part of a real story, [...]

Puzzle Quest 2 Review
So I’ve started playing Puzzle Quest 2 on my Xbox 360. I loved the first Puzzle Quest, but didn’t feel like it played well on the Xbox, so I played it on the PC instead. This time, I decided to play it on the 360, since I want the achievement points (yeah, I don’t know [...]
