The Urge

Filed under: UncategorizedZac North @ 4:39 am on December 12, 2008

Fall’s coming to a close, the Semester is almost over, and I want to make something.

When will this desire be wholly satiated?

Lord of the Rings Online

Anyone ever played this?

I play Age of Conan and it’s better than this, game gave me a headache after 10 minutes.

I can’t believe this is one of the most popular online games around.

Lego Batman

Why is this game so fun?

Traveler’s Tales has once again delivered a sound, perfect experience, technically and gameplay wise. This game is definitely high-tier–way better than Lego Indiana Jones. I’ll wait until I finish it to compare it to Lego Star Wars.

Lego Batman is hardcore, man.

Hancock: Thoughts

Filed under: UncategorizedZac North @ 1:05 am on August 23, 2008

Let me make it clear first that I’m no movie expert. I eat up big action movies. I love when a movie acknowledges its genre. I liked Transformers. I know when a movie is terrible. And Hancock? Hancock is not terrible. Hancock is good. Hancock might be the best movie you see this summer.

True, it does try to cram a lot into a little space. But it’s surprisingly deeper than I thought. The plot twist? Holy crap, I did not see that coming.

I was going to write more here, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen the movie that I honestly can’t remember the nuances of it. Perhaps I’ll post an update when I catch it on DVD. All I can say is that it left me a good impression :)

NetFront Users

GO AWAY! USE A REAL BROWSER! USE FIREFOX, SAFARI, HELL, USE IE!

…NetFront can’t even render this page right. :/

Giant Bomb

…is pretty cool. I wonder why they’ve decided to build the single largest and most obscurely reaching general games database on the web, combined with editorial content, forums, and social networking?

Meh. It’s a pretty cool idea. :D

Unfortunately.

(Thanks Taylor, who showed me this before Bungie/everywhere else the blogosphere posted it)

Max Payne: Super Guy

Actually looks fairly true to the game. I’m…surprise. Stunned, even! Wow!

Let’s hope it stays as good as it looks.

Civilization Devolution

Filed under: UncategorizedZac North @ 6:29 pm on July 9, 2008

I wrote a quick article about my impressions of Civilization: Revolution, a game I’ve been looking forward to since it was announced, over at VidyaNow. Basically, it sucks. A lot. If you’re a Civ fan–don’t get this game. Even if you liked the demo, don’t get this game. Notwithstanding that it’s a buggy mess, it just ain’t Civ.

Avoid at all costs ;)
