The Cumbersome Geist

Read 'The Cumbersome Geist'

I decided to try out Geist a bit before moving onto Silent Hill 1 proper and came away a tad frustrated. Geist poorly mangles a FPS console experience but invigorates it with a 'possession' aspect, where you (as the titular...

Kuon and That Seasonal Feeling

Read 'Kuon and That Seasonal Feeling'

I've been following this title for going on a year and a half, to the point where I'm wondering exactly why I was interested in it in the first place. Sure, it's a survival horror title that appears to have...

Indigo Prophecy (XBOX)

Read 'Indigo Prophecy (XBOX)'

Indigo Prophecy, despite its woes, manages to be a very playable game that's just THIS CLOSE to being outstanding. For all the promise it shows, niggling self-references and lame plot twists shows that David Cage just isn't ready to play with the big boys. Better luck next time.

So part of my graduation process was a Portfolio Show, where I sat at a small desk, which I covered with a PC, a laptop, a PSP, and a book, and explained to visitors what I did my 2 years...

Site fall down, go boom, cough up a grand..

Read 'Site fall down, go boom, cough up a grand..'

As you may have noticed, The New Gamer has been ..wobbly the last few days. For the bulk of Oct. 5th it was simply inaccessible. So what happened? Well, around noon that day I noticed that the server was unresponsive...

Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends - On Puppies and Play

Read 'Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends - On Puppies and Play'

Sure the pups are cute, but can they do anything more than sit there and look pretty?

Burnout Revenge: Neurotic Impact

Read 'Burnout Revenge: Neurotic Impact'

Burnout 3: Takedown had me shouting with glee, but Burnout Revenge turned me into a nervous mess.

Schoooooool's out forever!

Read 'Schoooooool's out forever!'

Well hot damn.... It's finally over. As of this evening I have a Bachelor's in Visual & Game Programming. And it all ended in a very anticlimactic way. No finals, no cramming -- in fact I was done with classes...

I don't have Indigo Prophecy yet so I downloaded this adventure game named Acedo

Read 'I don't have Indigo Prophecy yet so I downloaded this adventure game named Acedo'

Unless I'm missing something, Acedior is the shortest demo I've ever, ever played. The demo allows you to look at two rooms, talk to two characters (one off screen) and then boots you to a 'thanks for playing!' screen. It...

Alien Sex Fiend: Destroy All Humans! Impressions

Read 'Alien Sex Fiend: Destroy All Humans! Impressions'

For a game with such a ripe premise, it sure is a shame the execution comes off as infantile.

Indigo Prophecy

Read 'Indigo Prophecy'

Well it's a good thing there were no roommates in my apartment last night. I'm not talking about my rage at the loss of the Eagles (which was positively vitriolic), but a different embarassment all together. I downloaded the demo...

Read '9/9/05 Part 9'

Mr. Riley's just impatient - I was waiting for the day to close out proper before elaborating on how much I owe the little beige box! Simply put, if it weren't for the Dreamcast I highly doubt I would be...

Read '9/9/05'

Since our illutrious webmaster didn't think it was worth his time, I feel that I should step up to the plate and claim my place in the sun. I would be remiss in letting this site go a year without...

Still Life and the Mystery of the Unfulfilling Adventure

Read 'Still Life and the Mystery of the Unfulfilling Adventure'

There are worse things on this earth than incomplete endings. Like serial killers, or insipid puzzles and poorly articulated characters in an adventure game.

Feel the Magic: XX/XY and the Final Refrain

Read 'Feel the Magic: XX/XY and the Final Refrain'

Feel the Magic: XX/XY looked like just the sort of game that's up my alley: quirky, breezy and memorable. Sadly, the memories I came away with are all horrible nightmares of bosses past.
