These are just my personal views and not necessarily the views of the CH Staff/Site as a whole. We haven’t had some good/heated arguments in a while so I figured I would try to entice a few. I should also note that I didn’t play any Sports titles in 2008 (I rarely do). I also don’t have a PS3 so the only PS3 games I had the opportunity to play were MGS4 and LBP – both of which I was impressed with for one reason or another. I should also note that I was much less impressed with Fallout 3 or Grand Theft Auto 4 compared to most of the known gaming world apparently. As such, expect a few surprises.
A million little pieces (of equipment)
I’ve come to the realization that encumberance rules bug me. There are several paradigms that I’ve run into, but all of them have their issues.
Critical Hits Gift Guide 2008
This year’s gift guide goes out to all of you last minute shoppers who need to pick up some games and gifts for all the nerds in your life. Many of our suggestions are products we’ve reviewed, so I will link to the review where appropriate.
Bioshock’s Lead Designer on the Triumph of the Nerd
PAX 08 'Ken Levine Keynote' Ken Levine’s keynote speech from the latest Penny Arcade Expo is fantastic, so I’ve embedded it here. He talks extensively about what it was like growing up as a nerd in the 70’s, and talks extensively about finding a gaming group. Not only does he share much of how I […]
Play Auditorium
Thanks to Tycho, today I found the game Auditorium online and now I’m hooked. The funny thing is that I’ve only played with it at work where I don’t have speakers, but from the name and looks of it I imagine I’m missing a part of the game without the auditory experience. I guess a […]
YouTube Tuesday: 20XX Edition
The first trailer for a fanmade Mega Man movie, to be released in its entirety on the Internet. It reminds me in some ways of Grayson, which is one of my favorite fanmade trailers.
Inq. of the Week: Games You Play 2008
Our rather appropriate presidential poll has now closed, and it looks like we’re all doomed! I myself was almost swayed by the logical tagline, “Why settle for the lesser of two evils?” I held out, but most of you just couldn’t resist the Elder Sign ticket coming in with the small win at 31%. Not […]
Review: The Witcher – Enhanced Edition
I’d heard about The Witcher over the last couple of years, but never really paid much attention to it until I got my hands on a review copy of the Enhanced Edition. What happened is that the polish company game company CD Projekt spent a lot of money developing the game, and when it was […]
Review: Fable 2
So, first let me start off saying I really enjoyed the first Fable. The game had a number of flaws but it was still fun. It was so easy that a friend of mine decided for a challenge he’d play through without leveling up, naked, wielding only a stick. He managed to almost beat it […]
Inq. of the Week: New Games?
I was actually pleasantly suprised when I saw the question Dave asked last week, to find out what our favorite undead creature is, and some of the results are a bit surprising. The Lich came out in first with 25% of the total votes, followed in a very distant second by the blood-sucking Vampire with […]
