I played Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the PS2, months after it had already been released on the Wii, because I didn’t want to deal with waggle controls. This is a common theme with me, and demonstrates my overwhelming apathy (bordering, in fact, on antipathy) regarding the new generation of motion-sensitive gaming; Kinect and Move may [...]

Five Things: Cake Mania 2
As I write this, my fevered brain is attempting to cook itself inside my skull, so I really can’t be held accountable for anything that doesn’t make sense… like the fact that I am following through on my promise to write a column about Cake Mania 2. As a spiritual successor to the ridiculously popular [...]
Five Things: Mass Effect 2
I know, I know, it took me a really long time to get back to an Adult game (although really, Alan Wake counts, so shut up). I totally missed the boat on the first Mass Effect for a long time, only procuring a copy when the second one was imminent so that I would know [...]
Five Things: Alan Wake
Right, so I’m cheating a bit. I do have quite the list of completed games that I need to catch up on here, but I just finished Alan Wake, and I’m itching to write about it while the whole thing is still fresh. Anyway, this is MY column! I do what I want! /belligerent
Alan Wake, [...]
Five Things: Pokemon SoulSilver
I’ve played a lot of Pokemon games, but I’ve never actually made it all the way through one. What usually ends up happening is that I start playing, think “THIS IS SO AWESOME,” then get bored and meander off to do something else in about two hours. I don’t know why this has generally been [...]
Five Things: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
It’s been a long time since I played either of the Kingdom Hearts games for the PS2, so even though they remain among the few titles that I will never even consider trading in (a somewhat rare honor these days), I’ll readily admit that I had to hit up Wikipedia for a refresher on the [...]
Five Things: Final Fantasy XIII
As many of you know, I used to write a semi-regular column for this site chronicling my (mis)adventures attempting to reduce the size of my considerable video game backlog. It sort of trailed off into nothingness, though; I play a lot of games, but I play them at my own pace, which is sometimes very [...]
Bonus Dungeons: Leah’s Final Fantasy Primer, Part 2
In lieu of my usual Backlogged post for the week (and because I haven’t really been doing much other than playing WoW obsessively), I’ve decided to return to my Final Fantasy rankings for the next installment. I really wasn’t expecting the outpouring of support that X-2 got, but I still won’t be including it in [...]
