Too many PS3 games! I’ll never catch up

November 2nd, 2009 by ep

So I finally broke down and bought a PS3.
Great purchase, not an ounce of buyer’s remorse, thanks to the Slim’s price cut. In fact, I have late-buyer’s remorse. I wish I would have bought the thing months (years?) ago.
For my own personal PS3 launch, I bought Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.

Trashed again: I had to send my Xbox 360 to rehab

October 31st, 2009 by ep

March 16th, 2009 by ep

It’s been too long since I last posted and tons of things have happened since then.
First off, I’ve been posting like mad at www.chinstrapninas.com, in particular I’ve dumped a bunch of 2009 fantasy baseball team previews and have nearly completed my 2009 rankings.

10 of 2008’s most playworthy games [Xbox360]

February 17th, 2009 by ep

Yes, we’re a full month-and-a-half into 2009, so this list is a little late. Luckily, there hasn’t been any game of any worth released yet this year, so you’ll have time to catch these games, and I recommend you do.
I’m no professional game reviewer, companies do not shower me with free games, nor do [...]
