When I think of herding cats, I think of an impossible task. Or, I think of this: And after finding this game, I realize that herding cats isn’t necessarily impossible…it’s just really damn hard to quit playing.Looks simple enough, right? Look at those crappily drawn cats. This will be a cinch. Success! And right here is where I should have stopped. I had beaten the stupid game – and on my first try – so there was no reason for me to keep playing the game but I had to try again. Because logically, if I beat it once, I could do it again…and again…and again. I played this stupid game on and off all day. There’s no good reason for me doing that. No way I can really justify it but once you play this... [Read more]

I make no bones about the fact that I prefer the PS3 to the Xbox 360 or the Wii. I don’t feel the need to act impartial since we all have our favorites and it’s best for people to know where you stand. Because of this, I get a lot of questions about why I love my PS3 or if I think someone should buy a PS3. I got one of those questions last week from a friend who wanted to know if he should get a Wii or a PS3 and if there were any “kid friendly” games for the PS3. Of course, I told my friend that the PS3 was a better buy. Though there aren’t all of the Wii Sports games for the PS3 [duh], the PS3 does double as a Blu-Ray/DVD player [great if you have kids] and there are tons of “casual games” available... [Read more]

A couple of weeks ago I found a side-by-side comparison of Dragon Age: Origins on the PC, the PS3 and the Xbox 360. I saved the link since I was going to come back to it and figured I would write about it at a later date. Of course, as things tend to happen, over the Thanksgiving holiday, I lost the link. Today [lucky me and lucky you] I found a video of what I had seen before and thought I would finally share with you my find. From my memory of the images and seeing this video, the PC version is superior to the console versions. The PS3 version comes in a second and the 360 version is right behind it. The comparison video isn’t the best at showing the subtle differences and if you read the comments for the video, you’ll see that... [Read more]

If you listened to all of the media hype you’d be led to believe that people who identify themselves as “gamers” care only about their systems, their games, Mountain Dew and how to get their moms to stop interrupting their LAN parties. While there may be some truth to that stereotype, from what I’ve seen, the gaming community is filled with charitable types who are more than willing to put down their controllers to help out when help is needed. The Child’s Play charity is a perfect example of how gamers help out. Child’s Play has been around since 2003 and they’re still going strong. Over 100,000 gamers have come together and helped make the time that sick kids spend in the hospital not as boring and... [Read more]

If you missed all of the insanity that was Black Friday, you still have a chance to get some amazing deals on games at Amazon.com with Cyber Monday – a day known for slashed prices when you buy online goodies on the cheap. The way Amazon does Cyber Monday is they release deals throughout the day and there are only so many of the discounted items offered. You can see what I’m talking about below: Tekken 6 Limited Edition Fight Stick Bundle for the PS3 is still around for 60% off [!!!] and at the time of me taking that screenshot, you have four hours to grab your bundle. If you scroll through the deals, you’ll see stuff that hasn’t been revealed yet along with how long you have until you can see what Amazon is teasing... [Read more]
