The Metaphor

May 18, 2007 by Dave

I’m not talking about the kind you find in a short story- no, this is the metaphor in games. Almost every game has a metaphor of some sort, except the super driest theme-less games. Chess, for example, has a pretty good metaphor, as does Go. However, something like Blokus, with its abstract play and strange […]

God, Are You Listening?

May 16, 2007 by Bartoneus

If you are, then on May 19th Blizzard will announce Starcraft II.  Right now they are doing their typical hype-building site countdown; this time (as you’ll see if you visit their site) they have been counting all week through their titles from Warcraft & Warcraft II to presently Diablo II.  The original Starcraft was yesterday’s, with […]

Review: They Might Be Giants, "The Else"

May 15, 2007 by Dave

Inq. of the Week: Third in a Trilogy

May 14, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked what should happen in Spiderman 4. Most of you picked for Carnage (or Maximum Carnage) to happen to the big screen, possibly because the third movie didn’t satisfy your symbiote satisfaction. Coming in second, a possible plotline for those of you who seem to hate Spiderman, was for everybody to die. […]

BSG, Lost Ending

May 11, 2007 by Dave

IESB.net is reporting that Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica will be its last. The site spoke to Edward Olmos (Admiral Adama) who stated that the next will be the last, which was confirmed by Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck.) Obviously this isn’t a definite coming from the stars and not an official network release, but it doesn’t […]
