I finally got around to playing an interesting looking game called Yggdra Union – We’ll Never Fight Alone. Before I touched the game I thought the title was just some sort of inspirational little cliche. I thought that there would be some Norse mythology and a bold story about overcoming adversity and fending off a great evil. I was so naive.
Caciss and Chad review: Knights of the Old Republic II
September 26, 2007Sometimes a game has such a powerful effect on people. It’s addicting. It consumes your soul. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II is just such a game. Recently Devin and myself both sat down to play it at the same time. I chose the path of a righteous Jedi, the upholder of justice and wisdom. He chose the of a dark Sith, passionate and self-sustained.
Homeworld: Real Time Borefare
September 24, 2007Homeworld is an RTS developed by Relic Entertainment and released in 1999 for the PC. Homeworld features two races, which are pretty much carbon copies of one another — the only real difference being ship design. I’m pretty sure their single player mode is also identical. Homeworld has scored pretty obscenely high on Metacritic, a 92 or something like that. I figured: “Hey, I’ll give this game a shot.”
The Origin Behind the Name of My Future First Child

“What in the crap am I trying to pronounce?” you ask. It’s the first catchy song of the best game you’ve probably never played. It’s called Tecmo Cup – Soccer Game (in America). As the introduction begins the narrative of Robin Field, a soccer player only surpassed by his father before him, the first song gets you pumped up. Personally, I think it starts off with a striking resemblance to “Eye of the Tiger” and continues by sounding similar to pure awesome. It could just be me. Maybe you should listen to the music yourself.
