CLUSTERFUCK

Yeah, I got nothin today.  But if you click here, there is a cheap-assed excuse, and a picture of my kitty eating a grape freezer pop!

Read on, o ye faithful!

BIOSHOCK INFINITE

Sorry folks.  There was no Game Music Of The Week yesterday, nor will there be an X-Media Review this week.  Why?  Because one of my two most anticipated games of the year was released at midnight on March 26th (the other, GTA V, comes out in the fall), and it took priority over everything.  Like a man obsessed, I beat the game in two sittings, and while I'm still digesting it all, I think I'm ready to give my thoughts on it.

GAME-A-WEEK - DREAMKILLER

This week, I decided to take a look at a surreal indie first-person shooter, Dreamkiller.  Trailers for this one really caught my eye, and I really liked the concept of delving into people's dreams and combating their fears and nightmares on an ever-changing hypnagogic battlefield, inspired by each patient's individual phobias.  I just thought it was strange that I'd never really heard anything about it before...

PLANET EXPLORERS KICKSTARTER IS LIVE!

That's right folks, the Planet Explorers kickstarter is live as of today!   This is an absolutely incredible game that I've been playing for a few weeks now.  It's a huge open world voxel-based sci-fi action, crafting, building, exploring and everything under the sun kind of game.  Go check out their kickstarter for more information!

EDITORIAL - BIOSHOCK PRSD: POST-RAPTURE STRESS DISORDER

There are not many games that I claim to be a fanboy for.  I mean sure, there are plenty of games that I love and adore, but only some really strike that nerve that electrifies me.  Bioshock is one of those few, special games.  However, Bioshock 2 is quite possibly the greatest gaming disappointment I've ever experienced in my life.  And so with Bioshock: Infinite less than a week away, my excitement is reaching a fever pitch... but my fear and apprehension are lurking close by.

X-MEDIA WEDNESDAYS - RATCHET & CLANK COMICS #1-6

It's been a long week here in the Cranky household, with car troubles, job interviews, and games to catch up on.  So for this week's X-Media Wednesday, I needed something light, something fun.  And so I turned to comics.  Specifically, comics based around one of my favorite action platforming series from the PS2 era, Ratchet & Clank.  I have loved almost all of the games (we don't like to talk about All4One around here...), so how did the comics measure up?

GAME MUSIC OF THE WEEK - 3/19/12

In honor of my friend Kaylei Bristol's birthday yesterday, I asked her what her favorite Mega Man (her favorite series) music track was.  This was what she picked, after much deliberation.   Happy birthday Kaylei!
