This is the big week. GenCon week. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve never been to GenCon, the best four days in gaming. Later this week, I hop on a plane to Indianapolis where I will meet up with old friends, new friends, and bitter enemies (I’m looking at you, Holmberg). The days and nights will […]
After much hype and waiting, the anticipated “Re-Shelled” edition of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time was released on Xbox Live this week, with a price point of $10. The original Turtles in Time was an arcade game (yeah, remember arcades?) released by Konami back in 1991, and was an instant hit. A sequel […]
I have never been fan of systems that dictate building encounters in roleplaying games. I’m the kind of GM who has always relied on the “eyeball it” method that comes with enough experience with games. While this gave me great freedom in how I approached things it also meant that I was often adjusting stats […]
Looks like Production Weekly is reporting that Paul W.S. Anderson, the director of the original Resident Evil, is on board to write and direct Resident Evil: Afterlife, which may give credence to rumors that this would be the last in the franchise. The release date of the film is set for Sept. 17, 2010. This […]
Francis can suck my big toe. His video game reviews are…how to put this nicely? Adequate, I guess. Y’know, if you haven’t played many video games. So I thought I’d show him, here at The Wizard Sleeve, just how things are done this time, since I’ll be covering a tabletop game turned video game. After […]
I haven’t beaten all of the Zelda games, but I’ve played most of them. What gamer our age doesn’t remember that original over world music playing as you walk into the cave. Those fateful words from the old man as he hands you that first sword Link wields. Those words change me in ways I […]
Why the blasphemy? Well, how else to show my excitement for the upcoming “Re-Shelled” edition of one of my favorite games of all time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, coming later this month for Xbox Live (July 22nd exactly, for 1200 MS Points – $15)? Wanna see some sweet baby Jesus awesome footage […]
Wow … you know, I’m a fan of the Ghostbusters, but I was unimpressed with the way that the Xbox 360/Ps3 editions of the games looked from preview footage. In fact, it wasn’t until the game was released that I realized the Wii edition is a very different game – taking the original levels and […]
I’ve written before that I listen to a lot of podcasts. I currently hold subscriptions to 25 shows that I listen to on a regular basis predominantly on the subject of role playing games, comic books, and other geekery. On average, I listen to somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 hours of podcasts each week. […]
There’s Something Strange… After a long hiatus, the Ghostbusters are once again making house calls. Technically, it’s not the heavily anticipated big screen sequel, but it has every ounce of character, whit, and uniqueness that the original two films had (yes, I like both of them). Ghostbusters The Videogame comes after a long battle in […]
