     For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a computer gamer and always enjoyed a good real time strategy. When I got Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Stronghold, and Stronghold Crusader, I knew that RTS would be a genre I could neve...

1001 Games: Castle Crashers and Sensory Candy

Posted by Erik G. on February 19, 2011 at 2:10 PM Comments comments (0)


Whew, as school approaches finals week my free time suddenly starts to slip away. That combined with reading Jane McGonigal's new book "Reality is Broken" has left me without too much time to play video games, but I have learned a lot from the book and always had made time for a game I didn't think I would like too much: Castle Crashers.

1001 Games: Heavy Rain and Pressing X to Jason!

I'm going to be honest with everyone, I don't like Heavy Rain. Or rather, I didn't like the idea that was Heavy Rain. I love the concept of having to

Of course on the Dreamcast was a copy of Sonic Adventure, which I have to admit, I was quite unsure of when I first held it in my 9 or so year old hands. Before then, I had never actually beaten a Sonic game, even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 which now is practically the easiest of the bunch on the Sega Genesis. Not only that, but I didn't really keep up with the different gaming news in magazine...

1001 Games: The Oregon Trail and the Start of a New Journey

So first a little explanation of what this project is. Last Christmas I got a book from my dad called “1001Games You Must Play Before You Die”. Kind of self-explanatory for what it consists of, but it is nonetheless a testament to how far video games have progressed throughout its relatively short history.Since first laying eyes on the book I have realized that if I really want to one day be a game designer then I'm going to need to expand my gaming palette, learn more gaming hist...
