I was finally able to play a build of the upcoming The Political Machine 2008 last night.  As a matter of fact, night actually turned into morning.  I can't say too much about the game, other than it's a blast to play and is very addictive.   

If you are fan who is awaiting the arrival of Battlefield Hero's, you might be interested in this.  They are giving away a free ringtone of the Battlefield Hero's theme song.  It's in .MP3 format for you will need to upload and configure the ringtone itself, but I thought it was a cool thing to give away.

I had a lot of work to do this weekend, so not much time to play games.  However, I did take a little bit of time to give the Spore Creature Creator a shot.  My first impression was it is a neat tool that will hopefully compliment the game well.  Creating a creature of my very own was really fun, and it seems the possibilities are endless.  I was using the trial so my creation possibilities were a bit limited, but from what I have seen, the full version should be great....

This weekend we fired up the Wii and played Super Mario Galaxy for a few hours.  We haven’t played it in months, so it was fun to get back into it.  It’s a great game, and the kids love it, but I think Super Mario Sunshine is my favorite to date.  I do like the Wii controls in Galaxy, and I think it makes good use of the Wii-mote and associated controls.  On the PC I fired up Anno 1701, which is an older title, but one of my personal favorites.  I have an ongoing s...

I was reading an article from Zoomba about games , and one of them on his list is Ghostbusters .  This was my favorite movie as a kid, and although I’m always little reserved about games based on movies, this one is looking great.

Well we had a long 4-day weekend, which surprisingly I didn't do too much gaming.  On the Xbox 360 I played a few rounds of Battlefield: Bad Company, and a little bit of Guitar Hero III: AeroSmith.  I didn't get around to any PC games this weekend as I tried to stay away from the computer for a few days. So, what did you play this weekend?  

I just went and picked up copy of Battlefield: Bad Company.  There is a bad storm coming through so I only got to play a bit of the single player.  It seemed pretty good, although I am really wanting to go head on into the multiplayer aspect of it.

To start this off let me talk about what I actually played this weekend, then I want to hear about the games you got a chance to play this past weekend.  On the PC I’m still playing The Political Machine 2008 .  I’m a political junkie and TPM is just a fun game to play, even if you aren’t a big follower of politics.  I have been playing just some quick games, but I am starting to make my way through the campaign, which is a challenge, but a fun one. For the Xbox 36...

A few weeks ago I wrote about how my Xbox 360 had a "one ring" system error which basically means the GPU has failed.  Taking a walk through Best Buy yesterday one of my daughters said, "Daddy, that's what happened to our Xbox".  She called me over to the Xbox 360 demo unit and sure enough, the same error as our Xbox had.  I just got a small laugh out of seeing that.  

Gamasutra has another interview with Stardock CEO, Brad Wardell, about Stardock’s game lineup for the next several years. "What we try to do is we want to release a title every first quarter of every year," CEO Brad Wardell tells Gamasutra. "For as far out as our schedule goes -- that's five or six years -- there's a game coming out." The PC-exclusive studio, which also runs the Impulse digital download service, has a history of skipping the mad ru...

It's one of those months again that there are tons of games being released, and so little time and money for them all.  It has almost become a new type of balancing act, trying to figure out which games to get and plan a month or two ahead of time. We also can't forget the holiday season is rapidly approaching, and from now until then there are a lot of releases coming down the pipes.  How to choose between all these? This past weekend I picked up Guitar Hero: World Tour.  I...

Just picked up Guitar Hero: World Tour a few hours ago, and have been trying to get drumming down.  The family has been playing and it’s fun.  This version has a ton of great songs.

Gamespot takes it's first look at the upcoming Entrenchment expansion for Sins of a Solar Empire.  They also have an exclusive game play video showing Entrenchment "in action". "The wars among the Trader Emergency Coalition, the alien Vasari, and the human splinter faction known as the Advent continue to rage in Entrenchment. But as the years have passed, the multiple battle fronts have stabilized, forcing each faction to dig in. Technology has also advanced, and En...

This was one of those weekends where I wanted to play a bunch of games, but the wife....I mean I just didn't have enough time to get all my gaming done.  I did get some time in with The Political Machine 2008, I'm trying to cram as much play in before the elections as I can. I was in the mood for some FPS action, but really had a hard time deciding on what I wanted to play.  I've actually been interested in getting back into America's Army. So what did you play this weekend?
