Best Videogames of 2011: ‘Bastion’

Best Videogames of 2011: ‘Bastion’

I’ve been playing videogames for 25 years now, since back when my dad first set me up in front of the Atari 400. With all that time invested, I find that very few games manage to surprise me. ‘Bastion’ is one that did.

Best Videogames of 2011: ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’

Best Videogames of 2011: ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’

I’ve been trying to find a good approach to making some sort of list to honor the best videogames of 2011. Sadly, I’m only one man and haven’t been able to play every single game of the year. I’d have to leave so many great titles out simply because I didn’t get a chance to try them. Instead, I’ll highlight the best that I’ve personally played on an individual basis. First up: ‘Skyrim’.

Videogame Releases: Week of December 25th, 2011

One PSN/XBLA title comes out this week and that’s it. The videogame looks a bit like ‘Zombies Ate My Neighbors’, which is cool, but I haven’t been impressed with what I’ve seen from ‘All Zombies Must Die‘. Aside from that, there isn’t much happening. So what the hell, let’s just talk about what we got for Christmas.

Videogame Releases: Week of December 4th, 2011

Only one videogame is really worth talking about this week. Normally, I’d put in some recommendations of my own. The truth is, I’m out of cool games to recommend outside of the stuff you already know about, like ‘Skyrim’. Instead, I’ll just make fun of some shovelware.

How Sony Killed Downloadable Vita Games Before Launch Day

How Sony Killed Downloadable Vita Games Before Launch Day

There’s a sort of poetry to it, and I can’t tell if it’s wonderful or horrible. Sony announces a brilliant piece of hardware and then does something to muck it up so badly that people stop caring. Take the PS3, for example. In 2011, it’s a great piece of hardware that’s well worth $250. In 2006, though, it was a hulking monstrosity with a price tag impossible to justify. I worked at Best Buy that Christmas and I can tell you firsthand. We ran out of the Wii, and one day we even ran out of the Xbox 360, but we didn’t even have to restock the PS3.
