CinchTech Game Controller – An Innovative Proposal to an Old Problem
“My controller sucks!” I have barked that exclamation many times while playing video games, all the way back to my days with the Atari 2600. 90% of the time, I knew deep inside, in places where I have to be honest, that I didn’t react fast enough, or precise enough, or was too drunk to pull off the move I wanted to execute. It was that last 10% of the time, however, that really made me want to chu...[Read More]

Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Beta Impressions
When I first played the original Mirror’s Edge on the Xbox 360 years ago, the game itself wasn’t too impressive. I remember the story being crap and the areas I traversed being overly linear, almost on rails. The hand-to-hand combat was engaging and allowed a bit of freedom in how to attack enemies, but most people in the game felt pretty lifeless. But the running was spectacular, and I thoroughly...[Read More]

When the Servers Go Dark: The Reality of Always-Online Gaming

Betas Are the New Demos – Complete With Pandering
In trying to explain my feelings during the week of April 11, 2016 – Beta Week – when three betas became available for me to play, the term “like a kid in a candy store” inevitably comes up. I was given the chance to play three games, for a limited time, well before they were supposed to come out. My excitement was lessened by the fact that the three games were all first-person shooters, a g...[Read More]
Quantum Broken on PC: Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform’s Mess
Don’t you hate it when you get proven wrong? Don’t you hate it when your plans blow up in your face? Don’t you REALLY hate it when you become the world’s worst joke? Again?

The monolith from Redmond, WA recen...[Read More]
5 Things Today’s Console Gamers Take for Granted
Since I literally got into gaming when video games were first mass-marketed for the general public, my view on gaming has been skewed by my experiences over the years. This is most evident when my daughter bitches about something while playing a game that makes me want to get on my old-man soapbox and wax about the old days. She recently whined about having to save a game because we had to go some...[Read More]
