Review: Halo: ODST

Aaron — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:30:33 +0000

I enjoyed the SP component of Halo 3 and felt Bungie was going in a good direction and so I didn’t feel any trepidation in picking up ODST. This new installment in the Halo franchise is also a new direction for Bungie and from a production and design standpoint that transition is a [...]

When I purchased the new Monkey Island Adventure I got a free copy of the episodic Wallace & Gromit game, Episode 1: Fright of the Bumblebees. I played through it tonight and I wanted to post my thoughts before the recently generous helping of delight fettered away.

Ease of use: The mechanics were [...]

Movie Review: Ice Age 3

Aaron — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:54:43 +0000

It came down to Ice Age 3 or Transformers 2 and after a quick thought we went with Ice Age 3. Not a regrettable choice I must say!

I don’t recall having watched Ice Age 2 so I wasn’t fully up to speed on the character development in this latest installment. However after a [...]

I beat it in around 12 hours, what a great and memorable experience. One of these days I’ll get around to playing Round 2.

I loved every minute of it and with the message and video logs I’m even having System Shock 2 flash backs, which is one of my favorite games of all [...]

For those who enjoy a great RTS games with good stories, balanced systems and mechanics, and over all fun factor then I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend World in Conflict (WiC). I enjoyed it immensely from start to finish with a couple surprise moments along the way.

The units are well balanced and fun to [...]

Review: Fujitsu T4220

Aaron — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 20:00:37 +0000

My new LifeBook T4220 arrived yesterday and so far I’m really impressed with it. The SXGA+ screen is working out as well as I had hoped, I dig the 1400×1050 resolution. Writing freehand in tablet mode with the stylus was awkward at first but thanks to the learning algorithm in the software it’s not [...]
