Yes, its true, Gamer Quest has returned! I apologize for not keeping things updated for the past couple of weeks, but things have been a little hectic for me. That said, when it came time to pick a new topic for this week’s edition, I found myself at a complete loss. I have a couple [...]

Spoiler Alert: Wet

Wet

A lot of people recommended Wet to me when I picked up my PS3.  They all had the same basic thing to say about it, “The game is great, you play a hot ninja girl!”  Now that is a really hard recommendation to take.  Are they saying the game play is actually good, or just that [...]

Spoiler Alert: Dark Void

DarkVoidThumb

When the Dark Void trailer hit, I swear this game was the only thing people were talking about. Everyone was so excited, talking about pre-ordering and how badly they needed this game. This trailer, very fast-paced, transitioning seamlessly between running around, shooting, and flying, was so exciting that it probably is my strongest memory before [...]

OnLive: The Future of Video Games?

OnLive: The Future of Video Games?

A short while back, I stumbled across a picture of someone playing World of Warcraft on an iPad. In that same post was information on a service that might one day allow such a feat. The revolutionary service is called OnLive, and looks to be quite the groundbreaking release. OnLive’s bold mission statement claims that they will “change the way [...]

Gamer Quest: My World Of Darkness

Gamer Quest: My World Of Darkness

Dungeons & Dragons is a game that carries more social stigma and stereotyping than some racial slurs, but does it really deserve the bad rap? I grew up as a member of an overly strict Christian denomination that deemed just about everything fun to be a sin. Women couldn’t cut their hair, or wear anything besides dresses that [...]
