I finally got my copy of Tiger 09 in the mail on Saturday, sat down to play it, and wondered where the preceding 6 hours had gone.  Simply put, this is the most amazing golf game out there since Tiger ’04 or even the second Links title.  It’s doing almost everything right, from the amazing [...]

Stop me if I’ve told this one before. Awhile back, I was organizing my games collection with my wife, and we were both a bit shocked to come to find that there’s at least nine golf games in my collection (PC and Console combined).  Nine.  Golf Games.  And I’m not even talking about like every [...]

Eventually every game team arrives at the day when it’s time to put your baby in a box.  Give that game a face and release it into the wild for the world to put their eyes on.  I’ve never been a fan of the term phrase “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”  I [...]

I was reading a great followup to GTA IV and how well they nailed their depiction of New York city over at Sexy Videogameland, when Leigh started wondering why it had been so long since she’d played GTA IV, much less thought about it.  Namely, she questions why she used to spend so much time [...]

Memories can be a funny thing.  Some are crystal clear.  Others, not so much.  Our favorite memories we tuck away in special corners of the mind, so that they are always there for us when we need them, and some find ways of recalling themselves from the depths of cold storage with uncanny fidelity.

Here we go again.  A paper so out of touch with gaming and yet so full of opinions.  This time they’re trying to say that the core gamer backlash against Nintendo’s E3 announcements is nothing more than “nerd rage.” Call it nerd rage. Like loyalists of a once-partisan politician who tacks toward the center later [...]

Stop me if I’ve gone on about this before, but I’ve been wondering if user created content (specifically on consoles) is something that we really want to be courting as an industry, or even as gamers. On the surface, yeah, this sounds like a very good thing.  I think mainly because we’re all operating from [...]

You may or may not have seen this by now, but some average Joe built a sentry gun out of some servos, a laptop, a paintball gun, and a whole lot of ingenuity (and I’m sure some optical sensor equipment). But what I love the most about it is: He chose to use the Portal [...]

I’m sure half of you have seen this by now, but this dude modded a Garmin GPS unit to talk like GlaDOS. I don’t even need it for directions. I just want to hack it to say even more insulting things when you miss a turn: “What are you doing? Do you have any idea [...]

I know I’m late on this one. Like, years late according to internet age (a couple of weeks here), but I had to get this off my chest. Glenn, I used to like you. I know this will probably turn off a bunch of readers, but to hell with anyone who stops reading my site [...]
