The Cardinal Sin of Multiplayer Videogames (as demonstrated by Rayman's Raving Rabbids)

January 12, 2007 by Dave

I’m probably using “cardinal sin” wrong here, but it’s certainly the highest issue on my list. I mainly buy videogames for multiplayer, which is one of the main reasons that I love the Wii so much. I’m sure the PS3 and Xbox 360 will have some good multiplayer titles, but I know I’m not going […]

Comic Review Experiment 1/8/7

January 9, 2007 by Dave

Through various means, I tend to read nearly every new comic that comes out (from the major publishers.) And I’ve been thinking to myself lately, “why keep my opinions of all these books to myself?” So this time through reading, I decided to try a little experiment by jotting down some random notes/mini-reviews of the […]

My Favorite Published Adventure

January 5, 2007 by Dave

A little break from my boardgame design tribulations, as I take a look at tabletop rpgs… Publishing adventures is a tough business nowadays. While the Open Gaming License meant that there is a wealth of adventures to choose from, it also means that anyone can put out an adventure. While review sites like ENWorld have […]

Ringing in the New Year

January 5, 2007 by Dave

It’s the beginning of the new year, which means the blogosphereoversointerwebtube is a buzz analyzing the previous year. Here’s some interesting highlights of the last week: Heidi over at The Beat sent a survey to a group of comics professionals about the biggest story in comics of the past year and what’s to come in […]
