But I am a lazy bitch so I am taking his review as a basis to elaborate a little bit further. At first, I have to agree, that the gameplay as a ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2009/01/03/metal-gear-solid-4/ I liked Resistance. Probably because I love first person shooters. Resistance didn't have many faults. But it also wasn't very inventive. And it lacked the polish that seperate awesome games from the "just good" ones. Still I liked it. In Resistance 2 you leave the battlegrounds in England, which are now ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/12/14/resistance-2/ The game came two days ago in the mail and I had a lot of fun during the weekend. So much fun that I finished it already. The graphics are even more than awesome. From all the games I have seen on the 360 as well as on the PS3 ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/11/24/gears-of-war-2/ Nintendo really has put up a nice system, but unfortunately not for me. Most of the games do nothing for me. And the games that do won't see a sequel in the next year or so. Metroid, Mario, Zelda - these are the games I love Nintend for, not the ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/11/24/my-wii-is-sold/ Europe's biggest gaming expo starts tomorrow, but the press has the privilege to gain access today already.

He asked me yesterday and I accepted reluctanty as ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/08/20/a-trip-to-the-games-convention/ There is something that I like so much about games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, beyond the fact of getting a glimpse of the feeling of having an instrument as penis replacement, and that is to (re)discover awesome songs. Sometimes these are songs that I love dearly but haven't ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/07/03/on-educational-gaming/ Over the last days I had my fair share of playtime with GTA 4. I am over the 30 hours mark and still only got 47% of game yet. At least according to the ingame statistics. Usually I would've already given up, as my patience is not very strong with ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/05/05/the-land-of-opportunity/ The screen is still black but that is the first sentence you hear when you fire up the latest entry in Rockstar's long going series. Actually a guy was screaming that while getting spanked by a dominatrix, but still a fiting intro. My last weeks were stuffed with work, LotRO ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/04/29/i-am-back-bitches-2/ So for the last weeks Audiosurf has made some heads turn around. As always I am late to the party so that it took me until yesterday that I finally bought the game… on Steam, where else? My buddy Phil called it an interactive equalizer. What you do is actually ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/03/20/audiosurf-on-black-metal/ A couple of days ago I fell for Shackhype and purchased Titan Quest Gold off of steam. You can't do that much wrong for 12 Euros. It's fun clone of Diablo. But I wrote this post actually only to test the video capabilities of this blog. Tell me what you ... http://www.nerdtales.net/2008/03/19/titan-quest-in-motion/
