BioShock has turned out to be a very cool game. The artificial intelligence used by the enemies is pretty impressive. I just finished the Fontaine Fisheries level (second level, I think), and I typed out some thoughts on my strategy. If you like the game and want to hear my take on rescuing Little Sisters (as opposed to harvesting...

I played the original System Shock right after I finished the full version of Doom (my first PC game) back in 1995. It was a great game that one-upped Doom by adding RPG elements, like an inventory to store items and the ability to upgrade your character’s skills over time.

Now that I’ve beat half of the Transformers Movie game, I’ve been revisiting the different areas that I’ve already beaten.

It has an interesting premise, not unlike Bullfrog’s Dungeon Keeper from 1997, where the plot revolves around destroying everything that is good so that your evil influence may grow. The difference is that Dungeon Keeper was a realtime...

I beat the main quest for the Oblivion expansion pack. The story was actually very well done, giving a little more detail with each successful quest. At the end of the quest, the defeated bad guy spills the beans on the whole story and throws a little twist in there too. It was much more satisfying than the “congratulations,...

I have been anxiously anticipating the release of the Shivering Isles, the new expansion pack for Oblivion from Bethesda Softworks. It took a few weeks to find a copy, but I snatched one up as soon as I could. The problem is that it’s difficult to find time to play you’re working full time and then updating the kitchen...
