Johnny Rocketfingers Returns

May 20, 2006 by The O

I found an interesting rpg flash game on ebaums where you play the role of a Johnny Rocketfingers, a drug-using, heat packing stick figure in an apparently decrepid city. While this is apparently a sequel, I have never played the original. Regardless, it doesn’t make a difference since there doesn’t appear to be any references […]

OSU & GAMA want YOUR nerdish opinions

May 9, 2006 by Dave

Head over to www.gamesurvey.org if you have a few minutes. It’s the first non-marketing, non-D&D is evil survey to be conducted about gamers, and they could use your input. There’s also more explanation on BGG.

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 […]

Dungeons and a Dragon?

April 10, 2006 by Bartoneus

When I first heard about Dungeons & Dragons Online I was very skeptical. The first reason was probably as simple as my un-hinderable lust for World of Warcraft at the time, but I also felt that there was little DDO could do to improve beyond what WoW provides. D&D Online provided a decent amount of […]

Elder Scrolls IV Now Gold!

March 3, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

According to Gamespot, Oblivion has finally gone gold! I think I speak for everyone everywhere (well, everyone who isn’t a ninny) when I say: WOOOO! Of course, we should wait for confirmation from a certain architect who works in the same building as Bethesda Softworks. But still… WOOOHOO!

Player killed the Videogame Star, Part 2

February 10, 2006 by Bartoneus

With the second installment of my commentary on games and the players that ruin them, I will address board and other tabletop games, continuing from the first part which addressed videogames and how players online can completely hinder an otherwise amazing game. At the tabletop, this becomes a much more personal issue, as you can […]
