Red Dead Redemption was one of the best games I played in 2010. Well, I’m finished playing it in 2011, so it might be the best game I played in 2011 too :). If you haven’t played it, its Grand…

Reviews of various things
Random Review: Assassin’s Creed 2
AC2 was probably one of the best games I’ve played this year. Most of the time sequels aren’t as good as the original, but this one was as good, if not better than the original. Yes, it was a little…
Random Review: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Recently, film critic Roger Ebert said (again!) that “video games can never be art.” He has obviously never played Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. It was one of the best games i’ve ever played. If I’m not going to say it…
Random Review: Ben Avery Shooting Facility
While in Arizona for spring training, my step-dad Art took my brother and me to the Ben Avery Shooting Facility outside of Phoenix. Here’s the panorama view from where we were sitting. I should have gotten a couple more shots…
Random Review : G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
Just finished the game G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra on Xbox 360. The idea of the game was good. The execution was rather….meh. The game is kindof a 3rd person top down/isometric shooter. but you have absolutely no control over…

During March, Laura and I hit two restaurants as part of the Dine Around Seattle program. From March 1 to March 31, a bunch of Seattle area restaurants do a Sunday through Thursday, 3 course for $30 special offer. Some…
Random Review: Overlord 2
The first few hours were very enjoyable, much like the first Overlord was. I didn’t see much new stuff, other than that the minions could have mounts that would let them get to other places. I really liked the original…
Random Review: Ghostbusters (the video game)
I really liked it! It had a few glitchy things at the beginning, though. You’d think that if you were making a game about ghosts you would maybe maybe write your code in such a way that said ghosts don’t…
Random Review: Mirror’s Edge
In haiku form: mirror’s edge, the game it is a jumping puzzle and that’s about it. Well, maybe it had other things, but i never found them. I just couldn’t get into it, because it was just jumping puzzles, so…
