October 15, 2006 by drscotto

On Friday, October 13th, EBGames/Gamestop began accepting pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii. In a matter of minutes, they were no longer accepting pre-orders.

Just like the other XL event of the year (the Superbowl for those of you who do not know that something called “football” exists), Balticon has now come to an end. I hope everyone in attendance was able to find something that interested them and had a good time. Please use this thread to share […]

Kenny Rogers tells us that “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,” and this is a key to success in Texas Hold Em. I have discussed moves in my past articles dealing with knowing just when to bet or raise with certain cards, and when those same cards should […]

May 12, 2006 by drscotto

Tom Cruise is at it again in another blockbuster film. From a bartender in Cocktails, a pilot in Top Gun and a NASCAR driver in Days of Thunder, Tom Cruise has always prided himself as a versitile actor. The first segment of Mission Impossible was very entertaining, which was followed by a poor Matrix rip-off […]

April 26, 2006 by drscotto

Resident Evil 5 is slated to come out on the next generation console PS3. I wanted to share the teaser-trailor with the readers of this site.

Spore!

April 14, 2006 by drscotto

Thanks to Dennis for bringing this computer game to my attention. Since it has not yet appeared on this website though, I have decided to share the glory that is Spore.

Kingdom Hearts II Review

April 12, 2006 by drscotto

When I first heard about Square-Enix’s decision to release another RPG based around one of my favorites on PS2 I was thrilled. Since that day I have been reading weekly updates about the game, watching the brief game play videos, and hearing what other gamers who enjoyed the first one had to say. After a […]
