Okay, so I got Starcraft 2 and loaded it. It was so awesome with the music and everything. My computer is a beast now. It is 6-core AMD monster and I have a dedicated hard-drive just for big progs like starcraft 2 etc.
I especially wanted to test it because I wanted to stay on top of the current trends in computer gaming technology. But seriously, it said that I

Legendary Wings score
Beating the game Legendary Wings again was a blast from the past. I can’t imagine how I was able to do it previously without a TURBO button. Because this time I had zero qualms about using the turbo button against the bosses. The hilarious thing about this game is that you fight the same boss literally five times in a row. The only difference is the

Welcome to a word of danger and despair, a world where a traveler must speak to the King and save the land. Welcome to the ever stretching and tangled

Screen Size Comparison – CLICK for enlarged view
Portable gaming systems have been an important part of the technological revolution. Before there were PDA’s and iPads there was the original GameBoy. Most games for the Gameboy were created specifically for that system. Yet others were ports of other popular games. Killer Instinct the Gameboy version is an example of a Gameboy port of a SNES game that was a

Stranger Danger
Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link is a game that many people have played, but few have beaten. There is a great deal of sentiment about this game. Some say that the game is not a ‘true’ Zelda adventure due to its primarily side-scrolling nature. Others say the 2D action/RPG elements were just too darn hard. Albeit this game is much more quick reflex and dexterity challenging

Vocabulary and Timing is everything
In playing the game, Words with Friends the user usually has access to the internet. You can’t play the game without it. So there is a temptation to look up words before actually placing them. That is actually bad Words With Friends etiquette and my friend Brandon and I call that, “You using googlebro?” But since there is an automatic feature to see if

Star Trek the Game on Vectrex – Click for Video
When I first heard about the Vectrex system from my friend Brett, I was extremely excited. The concept of having a vector based home video game system had some serious sizzle. Everyone remembers the game, “Asteroids.” That’s an example of a vector based game. The big difference between vector games and pixel games is that vectors use lines. Pixels

Puppet Master Guide
This is a build for an offensive Puppet Master in HoN. It isn’t a ‘carry’ build in the purest sense, but it is highly effective and I’ve used it in the latest patch last night. The most important thing to realize is that you start by putting on point into the puppet strings skill. This may seem counter-intuitive because you might want to pump the whiplash

Ok, so a lot can happen when playing games. I was just playing Heroes of Newerth (haven’t played this one very much in the past few months) as a reward for doing well on projects and school. But my friend was playing it with me with also 3 other people we didn’t know on our team. But at the end of the game I took a point by “Kill Stealing”

Good Juking Example
Juking in Heroes of Newerth is important because it allows you to use your environment to get away from an enemy hero that is chasing you. The basic concept is that you walk in one direction, then wait for the environment to obscure your visibility to your enemy. Then when they can’t see you for a split second, you make a choice. You either choose to

Trion Worlds' new MMORPG, Rift, is doomed to fail.
The subject line says it all. This game has zero long term appeal. Rift, in essence, is a re-skinned World of Warcraft with public quests, similar to those first seen in Warhammer Online. The UI, the PvP instances, and the “soul system” all resemble traits WoW has. Even the rogue’s “combo points” and finishing moves are a direct

NES 1991 Controller and dinosaurs
The controller from 1991 for the NES, has a “dog bone” shape. It looks similar to a Super Nintendo gamepad, but it isn’t flat on the top. It is quite different from the original NES controllers in the USA, because it isn’t box shaped. Also the buttons are (as my friend Brett pointed out) concave instead of convex. So they are very comfortable. The

The battle for purification rages on
Klavixar is a wizard from the land of Mirror who was exiled by the Draconians for being a pacifist. He eventually made friends with a band of nomads who found his wisdom to be quite excellent. The nomadic tribes told Klavixar that he should feel welcome in their humble village of Utica, and that although he was an inexperienced wizard he may prove
