I had a bit of a pause with this one. RPGs of nearly any flavor I enjoy. Recently, I have sampled the delights of Western RPGs (WRPGs). I began Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the first time earlier this week. Heck, I even had a bit of fun with Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, bugs and all. But most of these seem more like Action games than RPGs, and the big ones (Fallout, Elder Scolls) are really difficult for me to enjoy because I get caught up in exploring the world and not doing quests. Then I die. I die a lot. And it's usually after I've not saved for over an hour or two. WRPGs are fun, but not my favorites.

Halloween
is a special time of year, especially for children. Thoughts of
candy, jack-o-lanterns, candy, costumes, candy, creepy parties, and
candy dominate the month leading up to the special night. You know,
this kind of Halloween. The talented folks at Double Fine used
this magical holiday to set up a grand adventure that children and
adults can enjoy. The DLG (downloadable game) Costume
Quest brings us back to a time
when Halloween was a night where anything could happen.
Spooky times ahead

Review: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Eidos Montreal
Release Date: 23 August 2011
Blade Runner fans, rejoice! The
cyber-punk genre finally gets it's due in an action-packed,
choice-laden package that not only pays homage to the PC Game of the
Year (2000) that spawned the franchise, but adds modern gaming
conventions and accessibility for fans new and returning. It's a
game that not only balances its roots with the advances made in the
last 10 years, but it also carves out its own identity.
Heng Sha is so pretty!
