Games I Didn’t Blog About

This blog has been incredibly quiet lately – but now that I’m done with the diploma thesis (yay), I can come back and start blogging semi-regularly again. First though, I will make catchup posts until I feel I caught up. First, games. There were plenty of new games I tried. Let’s have itsy bitsy tiny [...]

Shooter News (TF2, L4D, QL)

I said that I’d post about TF2, L4D and QL, so here goes. They all have share-worthy news. Left 4 Dead Survival Pack Left 4 Dead did get a new update a couple of weeks back, which improved the balance a bit. I liked the Smoker changes, but other than that, it was a bit [...]

Unreal Tournament 3 Titan Pack

Unreal Tournament 3 lives! If you don’t believe it, just look at this week’s Steam charts – it got to number 3. The recent free UT3 weekend was such a success that for some, it was a failure; the Steam servers were hammered and many didn’t get to finish downloading the game in the first [...]

Dead Space: First Impressions

To say it with Terry Pratchett, “Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind!” Considering we’re talking about zombies, that makes sense, too. Particularly if the game has the slogan, “This one’s a no-brainer!” If you wonder [...]

Review: World of Goo

I’m glad to report that despite playing Warhammer Online now, it’s not all I do – I must’ve learned something form my WoW excesses. Or not, who knows. Anyway – I’ll stick with my review structure here, fasten your seatbelts. It’s another awesome game (just like TF2, albeit in a completely different way), reviewing those [...]

mymuesli – Awesome Cereals

So I finally found my perfect mymuesli, allowing me to finally make that post I was planning to do for quite some time already! The mixes I made so far (you can order them as well, or expand upon them, by entering their codes here – unfortunately, there’s no way to link directly to a [...]

Review: Twilight Imperium

This game is one I’ve been looking forward to actually playing for quite some time now. I bought Twilight Imperium 3rd Ed. (or TI3 in short, official site) and its expansion, Shattered Empire, quite some time ago, but alas, finding a time when everybody has time to actually sit together and play a game that [...]
