Never really thought of myself as a roamer or a drifter, but when I think about it, I’ve moved to three different towns since 2002, so maybe I am. I wanted to give you all a virtual tour of the new town I just moved in to, but I’d better explain how I got there, and where I’ve been before.
Game Review: Metal Slug 7 (DS)
Posted on November 25th, 2008 by
When it comes to 2-D side scrolling action shooters, the Metal Slug series from SNK usually comes to mind first (or at least second or third). These arcade games have been munching quarters for more than ten years, but now you can save your laundry money and get the newest in the series: Metal Slug 7 on the Nintendo DS instead.

Pac-Man Christmas Ornament
Posted on November 15th, 2008 by
In my 10+ years reviewing video games for various publications, I’ve written about some pretty weird stuff. When I was writing for the Dallas newspaper, Chex cereal at one point included a prize in every box: a PC game called Chex Quest (a family friendly Doom clone). Thinking it would never be published, I wrote a review of it as kind of a joke. But the joke was on me because the newspaper actually published it and it garnered some pretty positive feedback! Later, when I was also writing reviews of video game accessories and gadgets, they had me review a PlayStation memory card that was shaped like Lara Croft. I mean, how do you review that? I wanted to say, “It’s the only memory card with breasts,” but this was a family newspaper so I wisely used some restraint. And then there was the time where I wrote The Grinch video game review entirely in rhyme. Well today I’m going to continue that tradition of writing reviews of weird stuff with the Hallmark Pac-Man Christmas Ornament!
Game Review: Monster Jam: Urban Assault (Wii)
Posted on November 14th, 2008 by
For my fifth or sixth birthday (can’t remember exactly), my dad took me to a monster truck show. You know, “Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY” and all that. Early childhood memories can sometimes be a little fuzzy, but I have a vivid memory of going to see that monster truck event. I remember that the big wheels crushing all those cars was so loud that we had to wear earplugs. And for the grand finale, they had a demolition derby with three Mac trucks with trailers attached! For a little kid, that was the coolest thing in the world. Heck, even as a grown up, that sounds kind of cool. Now, surely at some point, most likely while being stuck in traffic, maybe you imagined what it would be like to take one of those monster trucks out on the town, smashing and bashing anything in your way. Well now you can do that in the comfort of your own home on the Nintendo Wii with Monster Jam: Urban Assault.
