Hello….Anyone There?

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

Over a month and I haven’t updated. No, no, the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. It just seems that real life has a way of waltzing in and kicking your ass something fierce. So despite the ever present need to work so that I can buy games so that I can keep all three of my readers entertained (see what I do for you?) I am now re dedicating myself to posting at least once a week.

Alright, enough excuses, down to business.

I will not be posting a review for Video Games live. This is not so much a reflection on the show itself (it was a great gathering for the hardcore among us) but more to do with the fact that it seems that this year they will actually make it to New York. Couple that with the fact that they have been revamping the show with every new venue and it just seems like it would be a more interesting article to compare the performances rather than just write: “It rocked.”



Also, in the below post I mentioned doing a Killer 7 review for Gamecube. I’ll sum it up in a few words: “frustrating waste of promise.” To clarify, the game hooks you immediately, shows you some trippy stuff, oozes style and genuinely intrigues you with it’s plot. Unfortunately actually playing it is something akin to being stomped in the crotch by a stripper: sure it’s attractive and a little bit sexy, but damn if it doesn’t hurt something fierce.
Basically, the game is not fun. At all.

As for the rest of the promised content have no fear, I’ll have the tidbit PSP reviews up soon and the bit on best video game stories as well.

Until then, keep playing
