Star Wars: The Old Republic will feature space combat… a la Rebel Assault?
Aug 26th
This month’s (the October issue… go figure) cover story at everyone’s favorite gaming magazine, PC Gamer, focuses on the announcement of space combat in BioWare’s up-coming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic .

2D Beauty
Mar 15th
Lately I’ve been talking a lot about innovation, where it comes from, and how it moves the gaming industry forward. It seems, to me at least, that much of what I consider innovation these days comes from the simplest designs. Perhaps it’s because, once you strip away all the things we associate with gaming but [...]
Final Fantasy XIII out in less than 24 hours and I wish I cared…

I know, I know. Almost everyone who reads this will, most likely, want to burn me at the stake but I guess I’m not all that interested in JRPGs (Japanese Role Playing Games) anymore. I try to be, I really do because, once upon a time, I really enjoyed them. Final Fantasy VII is still [...]

I hope people keep innovating with the platform, because I think it has some great potential for [...]

However, that doesn’t stop me from occassionally reading about new games for consoles, particuarly if they seem to have something new to offer. That (and the [...]
Procedurally Generated Love
Jan 12th
Whenever I look through Wired’s GameLife blog, I find myself drifting anywhere between boredom and anger. How can a gaming blog for what has to be one of the largest (if not the largest) tech publications in the world seem so out of touch so often? Imagine my surprise when I actually found out about [...]
