I was always better at real geometry
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Not so good at Geometry Wars. Although I’m much better so far at Geometry Wars 2 than I ever was at the original game. I’m pretty sure it’s those geoms that keep me going. I’m a sucker for collecting things.
The internet’s been afire with talk of this new Geometry-based war over the [...]

Thursday, July 24th, 2008So lately I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed, well, trying to play Assassin’s Creed. No matter what I do, I simply can’t get into this game. Ostensibly, it’s an action-ey, platform-ey, exploration-based stealth game. All pluses for the way I game and what I’m looking for in a title. But ultimately, it’s [...]

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Rock Band is owning me.
I haven’t even touched another game since I got it a couple weeks ago, and I’m completely okay with that.
So far in the Band World Tour mode, Colette and I have been playing in our band called Pommes Frites; her on guitar, me on drums, both of us decked out in [...]

Monday, June 30th, 2008So we got Rock Band as a wedding gift from Justin (decisive winner of the Most 3lit3 Wedding Gift contest). We spent just about all of our indoor time at our mini-honeymoon condo on the beach playing Rock Band, with Colette singing and guitaring, and me either guitaring or drumming. This being my [...]

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Last week’s gaming activity:
I bought LostWinds on WiiWare and completed it in about two and a half hours. I had a great time with this one. Really simple, Zelda-like puzzles and fun platforming with the Wii Remote. My arm did get tired, though, pointing it at the screen [...]

Thursday, May 15th, 2008So I haven’t been able to get much game time in this week at all, and won’t really be able to this weekend, either. Our wedding’s coming up on June 14th, so there’s marathon planning and preparation going on for the next few weeks until the big day. I did, however manage to [...]

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Wow, I’ve been playing some serious variety during the last week:
I got into GTA San Andreas Multiplayer, a mod created for the PC version that turns SA into a multiplayer game (SA:MP as it’s known in the community). After listening to last weeks 1UP Yours podcast (podtrac beware!), Shawn Elliott’s recommendation to check it [...]

Monday, April 14th, 2008Wow, I played almost no games through the end of last week. I think I turned on Crackdown on Thursday or Friday, and Corey and I played for a few minutes, but that’s it.
Over the weekend, however, I played a decent amount of stuff. Friday I installed Diablo II and have already finished [...]

Monday, April 7th, 2008I’ve played, I think, most of the way through the first chapter (of 4?) in Apollo Justice. It’s the perfect type of DS game for me, at least with the way I’ve been playing mobile games lately. It’s more or less just tapping through conversations, listening to testimony, then once in a while [...]

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008I didn’t play much in the way of games yesterday. Colette and I team-smashed a little in Brawl. Colette’s a SOLDIER with Kirby now. Ever since the original Super Smash Bros., I didn’t know anyone could use Kirby like that anymore. She’s proven me wrong.
I started the first case in Apollo [...]
