Battlefield: Bad Company

Bad Company? I can’t deny it. I thought I was done with the Battlefield series of video games. I delighted in the WWII exploits of 1942 and played some BF: Viet Nam and BF2. When the series went futuristic I bowed out but something – probably the happy faced grenade pin – lured me back. I opened my mail and found the 360 version. “Fine, I’ll trade it maybe and get the PC version.” Wait… there is no PC version?

Reviewed when it debuted-how does GamerDad’s review stack up? Well, not as well as the film of course but for anyone not in the know – this is one of the finest Super Hero movies ever made and one that’s perfectly in keeping with Pixar and Brad Bird’s already then-sterling reputation. Ladies and gentlemen, parents of all ages, The Incredibles!

Rock Band 2 Song List

I’m floored. This is an incredible range of music filled with favorites of mine and bold choices. Yeah, some stuff is obvious – even boring – but this has Bob Dylan, Beck (!), and Journey. Plus the debut of AC/DC to the format and silliness from the D and even Offspring. (Yes, the old instruments and DLC will still work). Check it out!

At last! Finally! The inevitable hardcore gamer message board topic comes to Ask GamerDad. So, what will the answer be. Are games art? Or aren’t they? Oh and a 13-year old wants me to recommend Metal Gear Solid 4.

It’s a Pixar Party!

For nearly 15 years, Pixar has had one successful computer animated movie after another. They’ve pretty much carried the legacy of quality Disney animated films (especially since Disney themselves hasn’t been doing that in a long while). I’m a huge Pixar fan because of their works, and in honor of Wall-E being recently released in theaters, I’m going to list the Pixar films in order of my least to most favorite.

A couple days ago my friends at What They Play appeared with Meredith Viera on the Today show. The clip is imbedded, but if you follow this link and I recommend you watch it. John’s got a good message – an admittedly familiar one – but he handles himself beautifully. You can also see my editor Zoe Flower in the clip. My favorite moment is when John boasts that WTP has 2000 reviews – 1000 of those are ours, after all (lets forget it took us 4 years to reach that number and they’ve reached it in 10 months). Congratulations guys, keep up the good work! (Note: John clearly understands the relationship between being a GamerParent and sensible but present facial hair.)

Waxing Rhapsodic

Last week Rhapsody, the pioneering online subscription music service, announced it was opening up a DRM-free MP3 store. DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a technology used to control access to digital media files (*** more below). They say they are ’embracing the iPod’ after years of competition. This puts them in competition with the behemoth iTunes Music Store and Amazon.com’s DRM-free music store among others. So what’s the deal? more…
