My Christmas gift to myself was Star Wars: The Old Republic the new massively multiplayer online role-playing game built by Bioware but set in the well known and loved Star Wars universe. I’ve never been much of a MMORPG player but being the inquisitive gamer I am I have dabbled with a few free...

Dark Souls is a dark fantasy action adventure role playing game from Japanese game studio From Software. It is one of my most anticipated titles of the year and I am still enjoying it after dieing dozens and dozens of times. I’ve wanted to buy the Japanese version while in Japan but all my money evaporated by...

Not surprisingly I spent a lot of time in Akihabara during my trip to Japan and one of the attractions that stood out was Club Sega, a multi-floor video game arcade and entertainment lounge. It features different games and attractions on each floor such as fighting games, crane machines, simulators...

Yet another stop during my visit to Japan is Tokyo Game Show 2011. I attended on the final day and got buried in a sea of lights, gaming, cosplay, crowds, cosplayers and booth babes. I managed to stay lucid enough at different times to grab some video and photos of what I was seeing and experiencing...

However, every now and again I run into a game that grabs my interest enough that no matter how I get busy with work, school are the zillions of things I juggle in life I have to make some...

The gamer in me gets giddy each year as I look forward to then be super unproductive during E3. My prolonged stay in the gaming wilderness continues as it’s sad I have yet to play one single game I raved about at last year’s E3. This is mainly because of my saving for Japan and a myriad of...

I am a big fan of strategy games on PC especially turn based strategy games that helps to keep my geek senses keen and polished. I came upon Total War: Shogun 2 a game that wasn’t only turn-based strategy...

2010 was the year I slipped off the gaming radar, other than a short stint playing the single player mode of Starcraft II and a few sittings of  not so popular games like Mount and Blade Warband I spent most of the year playing Football titles like FIFA Word Cup and FIFA 2011 or multi-player first...

My first experience with a Monster Hunter game was Monster Hunter Tri for the Nintendo Wii. A game that I tracked for over a year and salivated over finally being able to play it, because I knew it would be huge in the west. I made numerous blog posts about the game from when I first got it, my first...

Nintendo is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros. The more famous of the brothers Mario is an international star and the undisputed king of video games. Mario has been around as long as me and I have played most of the games featuring him and his crew over the years. Mario is a gaming...
