Civ V at E3
I was already sold on Civ V before I went to the demo at E3. Civilization, in all it’s incarnations, is one of my favorite games, and I was really looking forward to seeing the newest version. Civ V keeps … Continue reading
Eufloria Reviewed
My Eufloria review is up on Bytten. Despite really enjoying Eufloria, this was a hard review to write. I loved the organic-art graphics so much, but as I read and reread my attempts at a review, I started to feel … Continue reading

I say that we’ve been playing multiplayer, but actually I think we’re playing two entirely different games that just happen to look similar.

One More Turn
Yesterday Stick and I picked up the new Civ 4 expansion. I don’t know how it is yet, but I do know that when I woke up about around 6AM, Stick was sitting in front of the computer saying he … Continue reading
World of Warcraft: The Board Game
I was on www.warcraftunderground.com and I saw there’s a WoW-based boardgame. World of Warcraft: The Board Game allows players to choose their characters (not all races and character combinations are available) and decide whether to fight for the Horde or … Continue reading
