The Palm Pre commercials.Yeah they are weird. Some people say the woman looks possessed. It isn’t just how she looks that is so wrong. It’s what she says. The commercials are insulting, patronizing and sexist. It is blatantly obvious that they are marketing the Pre to female customers. They are trying to paint the iPhone [...]

The landscape of gaming is changing right under our feet. Different values are becoming important. At one time the adage went “Know who you are buying from”. These days it could be “Know who you are freebie-ing from”. Right now game publishers are trying to tap into the Free and are competing not to sell, [...]

Ghostbusters is an action game that was made about a movie which came out in 1984. A re-release of the movie for it’s 25 year anniversary is out on blue -ray. Regardless of the intentions, it is more than a bit weird to have a game come out 25 years later.  Then as fun as [...]

The Nancy Drew  mystery adventure games have been a staple girls franchise. This is the 20th in the series from Her Interactive. The games are a good mix of puzzles and point and click adventure on PC. This one is no different. It is a sure bet for a few hours of diversion on a [...]

The anime series Blood + and the short  film Blood the Last Vampire (2000) were very good anime. It also spun off PS2 and PSP games. The anime and manga had a deep plot and a vampire mythology that was a little more fresh than most. They used mythology and settings from ancient Egypt, Bordeaux [...]

I’m happy to be part of the Aion Closed Beta on a press account they gave me. I can’t tell you enough good things about Aion the new MMORPG from NCSoft that is due to go live September 22.  I’ve been in the Beta Test phase of many NCSoft titles, City of Hero’s, City of [...]
