    How do you read game reviews?

    I don't. I check out as many screen shots or vids as I can get my hands on, cruise through forums for opinions and then if I'm still unsure I rent before purchasing (as I'm strictly a console gamer). So far, I've never purchased a game I've been disappointed in.

    What have you been playing lately?

    This may sound lame?, but I've been playing the heck out of Pokemon XD. Trying to get my Lugia to lvl. 100. I'm big into the strategy aspect of Pokemon. EV and IV training and all that... it gets pretty in-depth and complex. Alot of people think that Pokemon is just some kids game, a Saturday...

    Blogjam of the Week: Guess Your Wii

    That's a tough call. On top of the info already presented, Nintendo has previously made a statement saying they are trying to stray away from holding onto product for the sake of a holiday release. On the other hand, both the GCN and DS saw November release dates. I'd say your October...

    Dear Hype: E3 No Longer Wants You

    Give this man a raise! Open it up to the general public. Display some demos, give away free stuff, sell some product... sounds good to me.

    The Wii-vinci Code

    My kingdom for a network that doesn't block most gaming related sites!!! Seems Nintendo has made all sorts of changes as of late... As far as the DS is concerned, I don't think there'll be any further lack of support for the system like there was initially. Square-Enix seems to be backing...

    Best Cheese Fries?

    I don't know about cheese fries, but some of the best fries I've ever had were the Tiki Fries at Hurricane Riley's in Endicott NY. Loaded w/ onion, ham? (or bacon?), some other things and (I think) 1,000 Island dressing?. It's been awhile, and I've only had the opportunity once. Excellente.

    Sound off (Issue 55): Favorite Success/Failure Story

    Up until the rise of http://www.escapistmagazine.com/, I was kind of in the dark about the inner workings of the gaming industry unless it pertained to the Nintendo/Sega era (and some of what went on overseas in Japan). It's my favorite time to talk about anyway, so here goes. It always...

    Meet the Team for Issue 53

    WTF?!?! Bongo Bill stole my life?!?!?! My guess... Working in some forsaken cube farm, having it out w/ my 21 year old daughter for continuously asking for money and for running off w/ "that no good SOB", playing the New New New New New New New New New New New New New Super Mario Bros. (you...

    What are you playing this weekend?

    I missed it too... <:O( Played some Metroid Prime... for some reason I can't break 99%? This'll be my third time through the game. Third times a charm... I'm at 95% and counting. Also played Nintendogs (unlocked Boxer pups) and my daughter's AC: WW (caught her a clownfish for her house...

    Buying Into DS Lite

    Hearing that never gets old. I've had countless discussions w/ all sorts of people on why the Japanese see so much more variety in the electronics/toy markets than we do... It basically boils down to the US not taking enough interest in that sort of thing to generate the sales needed to fuel...

    Escapist Readers take on table top in a digital age.

    I think tabletops like D&D will stand the test of time, just like games like Monopoly or Poker will most likely not get to a point where they're played in a strictly digital environment... or M:tG for that matter. W/ CRPG's and MMOG's you don't get the same kind of interaction you experience...

    I have a spoon problem.

    I'm thinking that if they do, they're probably just mocking you anyway. >:OD Sorry, but I'm a tea afficionado. :O)

    Sound off (Issue 53): Where will we be in 2020?

    Back when I first played GTA, my wife asked me why my brother and I found the game to be so darn fascinating... I told her it was because in the game we got to do things that would get us arrested or worse in real life. I'm of the mind that games like GTA are actually HELPING TO LOWER the...
