biffmeister = KerkerMeister ?

December 2, 2008

I’ve decided that I’m especially intrigued by a game called Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War. It’s coming out on Dec. 9 for the PSP.

There’s already been one Dungeon Maker, and it got panned pretty universally with most reviewers giving it 75 or less on a scale of 100. Therefore, people seem to have [...]

Prince of Persia? More like Crap of Persia.

December 1, 2008

Historically speaking, I’m a huge fan of the Prince of Persia series. Action, adventure, and beautiful scenery, all narrated and acted out by an incredibly hot lead character. But to the newest installment of the franchise I say – What the fuck? Since when is the Prince this anime-strange hair gel addict? I dig his [...]

Best game ever.

November 20, 2008

When we were kids (and when it was cold outside), my cousin Lucas and I would amuse ourselves by playing games on his SEGA Genesis. I remember Zombies Ate My Neighbors!, all the Sonic games, Beavis and Butthead, The Lion King (!!!), and Mortal Kombat being particularly well-played. One game though, Echo the Dolphin, [...]

The world is Faith’s playground.

October 21, 2008

I have the video game attention span of a sugar-smacked toddler, so I always need to be looking for something newer and more interesting than what I’m currently obsessed with.
The latest development is Mirror’s Edge for the PS3 (EA), a first-person action adventure/sometimes-shooter that has the main character (Faith) using skyscraper parkour  to escape from [...]

Disappointment

October 19, 2008

So first off, so many people are SO incredibly pissed off about Little Big Planet’s release date being pushed back a week that I want to say – I don’t care. It’s just a few more days, it’s not that big of a deal. It sucks but GET OVER IT.
Second, I played the demo for [...]

Withdrawal

October 10, 2008

I haven’t played PuzzleQuest in over a week and it’s kind of starting to get to me. 
Yes, it’s a nerdy game* but it’s a game that I love unabashedly. After three hours of playing it, everything even remotely geometric turns into lines of jewels. I daydream about ways to get 6 skulls in a row [...]

A new wave is comin’ in.

October 6, 2008

And it’s called LittleBigPlanet.
Ok, so I know I’m not the first person to SQUEE over this game. In fact, buzz has been building up around it for at least the past year or so. But the concept is so incredible that even a casual gamer like me can’t help but get excited about it.
THE PREMISE [...]

Running to the beat of the massive “huh?”

September 18, 2008

I’ve never been obsessed with video games, but I’ve always enjoyed them a lot. My problem is that I try to focus on one game (and one system) at a time, but I usually graduate to something else before I’ve even mastered the game I’m currently working on.
First, it was Super NES.Castlevania made my 12-year-old [...]
