Portal was a great game. It was too short, true, but there was a lot of heart put into those five or six hours of game play. People have been saying “The cake is a lie” for years and the talking gun turrets have spawned cottage industries. I started craving Portal 2 as soon as it was announced. A sequel was...

I just beat Mass Effect 2 while playing as a Paragon. I don’t think that I liked this game as much as the first Mass Effect. This new game has an excellent story, maybe not as good as the first one, but it extends upon the existing storyline nicely.

Swavek got me a copy of Borderlands for an early Christmas present. He also got a copy for himself, since we like to compare notes over time while we play the same game. He started off playing a Sniper character, while I chose to start with a Siren. We talked a lot about the game. I’ve compiled the emails that I sent out...

I was really excited to play “Fallout 3” when it first came out. My friend Swavek is a huge fan of the series, so he bought it the day it was released in October. I was busy feeding babies at the time, but I recently got a crack at it after he was done with his copy. I’m really liking this game, especially...
