A parent of a 12-year old has given in and bought her son those violent 3D shooter war games. And Xbox Live too. Now she’s wondering what kind of parent she is. GamerDad tells her honestly, forthrightly and directly!
RPGs, Old and New – Two RPGs, a quick Review
Posted on June 17th, 2009 by
I’ve been spending some quality time with my new DSi lately playing through games of a favorite genre, the role playing game. However, that genre is quite broad and can often be placed into two camps, what I call old-school RPGs (as could be found in the 80s and 90s on computers) and ones commonly found on modern console systems often made in Japan, sometimes abbreviated jRPGs. While playing through The Dark Spire and Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier . Even the length of the names gives you a clue as to which is which. The Dark Spire is an homage to old-school RPGs while Super Robot Taisen is through and through jRPG. Both games have their advantages and disadvantages, but I more often found myself drawn to The Dark Spire.

So, if we could see each other you’d know that I didn’t get a haircut or trim o’ the beard for the last 6 months. About 4 months in I was tempted but then realized I could have a little fun. Last Friday was haircutting time. I had a lot of fun with it. Then my best friend Zane got ahold of them and demonstrated that I’ve been underestimating his Photoshop skills. Seriously underestimating them! Come on in bub, mind the claws!Play the Uncharted 2 PS3 Beta Courtesy of GamerDad & Goozex

The Newest Nintendo – DSi
Posted on June 10th, 2009 by
Nintendo knows when they have a good thing going. They have dominated the handheld gaming market for many years, often with progressive upgrades rather than trying to build up an entirely new user base with each new handheld machine. This spring, they have released the newest upgrade to the DS line of handhelds, the DSi. By removing the Gameboy Advance slot, they have clearly staked out an attitude of looking towards the future rather than the past. Beyond that significant hardware reduction, there are numerous software improvements that make it a larger leap forward than the leap from Nintendo DS to the DS Lite.
E3: The After Days
Posted on June 6th, 2009 by
Well, the big video game convention, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 for short), is finally over. I didn’t attend this year’s show, but I read enough news about it that I decided to write a blog about the things at the show that caught my interest. Of course, since my tastes in games are a little out there, I won’t be going over a lot of the big titles shown. Just the ones I like.
My Blog, My Way
Posted on May 29th, 2009 by
Just a hodgepodge blog this week, folks. Thought I’d share with you some of my recent gaming endeavors like going to the arcade auction, playing unusual games like My World, My Way, downloading gems such as PictoBits and Bubble Bobble Plus, as well as some other random junk I can think up!
State of the Heart – 5/09

Hi folks, still alive thank you, in fact, I’m doing well. Twice a year, double the time a Ground Hog does so, the GamerDad emerges from his Subteranean Lair to blink in the sunlight and labor with earth, mud, and various seeds and plants. (I was doing this WAY before the new Victory Garden/whole foods fad – for some reason I feel I have to say that.) Anyway, you can look forward to a gardening article later. I know you’re waiting with a worm on your tongue (baited breath – ha!). Lets talk health and games today!
