Too Much Awesome

I loved Iron Man and Iron Man 2 but I have to admit that by the time The Avengers came along and certainly by the new Iron Man 3, I was a bit burned out. Not just burned out on Iron Man but on superheroes in general. I’m glad to see that technology has finally [...]

I’m sure I’m not alone in the group of kids that collected baseball cards in the 80s/90s with hopes of cashing them in 20 years later so you could retire. Funny thing is that never happened. The baseball cards from about 1982 to 1995 are probably some of the most worthless cards ever produced…because they [...]

There are all too many “clone” games out there on our phones. Runners, puzzles, driving…each the same just a different flavor. So it’s nice to see a game that isn’t exactly new but it feels fresh, and sometimes that’s enough. Nimble Quest You can file Nimble Quest in the “I wish I had thought of [...]

I was really bummed to hear that Rock Band was ceasing their DLC as of this month. I know the next gen consoles are right around the corner and all but Rock Band is by far the game in which I have invested the most money, sweat and tears, so to see that chapter come [...]

International Tabletop Day is this Saturday, March 30 so we’ve been talking games all month long and while there are literally thousands of games you could pick up and play with your friends this weekend, here are a few of my favorites that I’ll be playing.

The 30th anniversary of E.T. was last year, so I’m a little bit late, but I didn’t really think about it until I was walking the aisles of Toys R Us and a new E.T. toy caught my eye. I remember having a few original E.T. toys when I was little. I loved the movie [...]

Being a nerd used to be a bad thing. The stereotypical nerd versus jock was just a way of life. If you didn’t like sports and weren’t otherwise popular, you were a nerd. You played in the band, you loved video games, you read comic books and you knew where Middlearth was…you know the type. [...]

I’ve been waiting a long time to play Retro City Rampage and thankfully it was well worth the wait.

A funny thing happened on my way to parenthood…I lost my video game time! Yes, I’m no exception to the inevitable sacrifice of every gamer parent, but that doesn’t mean there’s no time for games, it just means I had to find the games that fit into the schedule. 2012: The year the console was [...]
