Silence echoes as we pass an open door where lights are on but no one is home. Stopping at an open window Jason climbs up and out as Marie and I keep a look out. A ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=566 FIFA 10 came out on Oct 20th and it has already stolen my heart. Not because of the game, I haven’t played, nor is it soccer (or football), which I do not follow in any capacity. The reason I’ve fallen for this game is because of this website: FIFA Earth. In ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=553 Like others, I have found the recent “social” game explosion to be rudimentary and lacking. When I log into Mafia Wars or 140Blood I do not see a game, I see a vending machine. Push a series of buttons and a tasty treat comes out. You are hanging out with ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=543 A rare non-game post. I have a problem. I was on vacation for two weeks and spent very little time catching up on blogs and my other news feeds. As you can imagine I have a lot of information to sift through. Now the problem is not so much finding relevant ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=527 I was pointed to the wonderful game William and Sly yesterday.

Unfortunately, William says he is unable to get to ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=507 inFAMOUS epitomizes what I love and hate about open-world, parkour games. Fitting, considering the game is a moral dichotomy game. For those who may have not played Infamous, it has a laundry list of genre/mechanic titles. It’s an open-world, shooter, morality, parkour, rpg game. The setting is three city filled islands, ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=486 Like gardening? Don’t like zombies eating your brains? Well then Plants vs. Zombies is the game for you. A cross between old-school Tower Defense games and the addictive game Insaniquarium, Plants vs. Zombies is an easy game to get into but hard to put down. Summary: The game has easy mechanics ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=461 This review will have spoilers and is more of a thorough look at the game than a normal review. If you think you will play the game in the future it’s better not to read any review of the game in order to get the best experience possible. Exploration is ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=450 Got a weird email yesterday, that was not meant for me. But it is about Microsoft’s new controller-free project Natal. “If you have watched any of the videos or read any of the press around Project Natal, there is no doubt this is game changing technology. Now that the buzz ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=429 Am I a bad person? I like tying up loose ends, being efficient and exploring new ways to get things done. This can translate to I like killing people, with as little effort as possible in a variety of glorified ways … in Fallout 3. Or it can mean I like collecting ... http://lcc.gatech.edu/~bmedler3/?p=404
