I am a sucker for war sims. It is probably fair to say that shooters in general, are among my favorite video game genres. I preface many of my reviews with my opinions of the specific genre to make sure you, the reader, are aware that I may or may not be biased to said [...]

Return to Rapture

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

If you are reading this, then I will be assuming you have already played BioShock (1) and have a general idea of what I mean when I say “Big Daddy” or “Little Sister”, or talk about a lovely place called “Rapture”. If you didn’t play the first installment, try to keep up! There was no doubt [...]

Darksiders: Been There Played That.

If you haven’t heard all the hype about this game leading up to its release, then you must have been living in a hyperbaric chamber of some sort for approximately the last 6 months. Of course, as we discussed in Mike’s post on the state of the gaming world, hype does not equal quality (nowhere [...]

Hello, and welcome to the first installment of Talk Nerdy to Me, Battlemouth’s resident geeky advice column. Today we have a question from an anonymous user, who asked: How does one start up a relationship with a non-geek. Geek is in my blood, but she shares none of these qualities. How can I make this work?? The [...]

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Here’s an interesting way to announce a game: at the website for another game. The founders of a new studio called Doublebear have co-opted the forum for a game called Age of Decadence to field questions about their upcoming zombie RPG, currently untitled and putatively unannounced.
