      Review: Mario Kart Wii

      Monday, May 5th, 2008

      It’s been a week since Mario Kart arrived and it has been making it’s home in the Wii almost constantly since. I’ve always been a fan of Mario Kart and overall this game was no exception.

      Saturday, March 29th, 2008

      I have (finally) updated the review criteria for single player games. I didn’t mean for it to take so horrendously long, but I sort of forgot I was setting it up and it fell past the back burner.

      Review: Puzzle Pirates

      Saturday, October 14th, 2006

      Puzzle Pirates is a game made by Three Rings Design which defies typical Massively Multiplayer Online games in that it doesn’t revolve clicking, and then going and getting yourself a sandwich while your alter-ego slays a monster. In a way, it created its own genre as the first Massively Multiplayer Online Puzzle Game. As strange […]

      Reviewing Criteria

      Friday, October 13th, 2006

      By saturday I should have posted my first game review. Before doing so, I figured I’d make a post explaining the criteria under which all reviews of mmo’s will be judged:
