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?
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...
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".

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?
I wanted to play much more this weekend, but I did manage to get a few games in. First up, I have taking on The Political Machine 2008, as I'm trying to get as much play in before the election as I can. I'm also slowly progressing in Spore. It's getting kinda old, but I really want to see how it plays out. On the consoles I played just a bit of Battlefield: Bad Company. I was looking for a new 360 game to play, but nothing really caught my eye this weekend. So, what...
The latest update in the Demigod blog at IGN comes from Dru Staltman and NateSimpson from Gas Powered Games. They talk about the process of creating the characters featured in Demigod. " Imagine Hercules and Achilles locked in combat. The two heroes trading blow for blow in an epic melee. The heroes tossing each other through buildings, chasing each other across the fields of antiquity, and eventually a crushing defeat and valiant victory. This epic combat is something that would be f...
