Do my eyes deceive me?!  Why, it’s an actual objective, well-constructed, and comprehensive opinion piece from ESPN video games that doesn’t have some kind of “marketing” or “branding” attached.  It’s also a fun walk down memory lane with many of these sports games.  Although I don’t completely agree with either list, the authors did a [...]

The kids’ sports stuff will be slowing down significantly after Thursday, so I’ll have more time to do stuff and actually write about stuff on my little blog.  In the meantime, Gameshark posted my review of Sega Superstars Tennis for the PS2.  It’s really a walk down memory lane for SEGA fans, with some tennis [...]

Today was a great day.  It’s payday, before a long weekend, and my check included my bonus.  Although I already spent the portion I was going to spend on myself when I picked up my new laptop, I thought I’d treat the family on a rare night devoid of any kids’ sports obligations. So, we [...]

…The Indians suck.  They are the suckiest of the suckers, er something like that.  They are currently DEAD LAST in the major leagues in hitting, and it’s not even close.  It’s too bad they’re wasting all of their quality pitching.  I honestly don’t know if they’ll come out of it.  What makes it worse is [...]

I’m putting the finishing touches on my SEGA Superstars Tennis review for the PS2.  It’s really as much of a walk down memory lane with SEGA’s major titles from the past as it is a tennis game.  If you’re a fan, then you’ll have some fun with the title.  If you’re looking for a good [...]

It’s on Gameshark today.  In short, it’s an interesting premise, with high production values, but the ballin’ is a bit weak. The kids’ sports have me bogged down.  I have four games tomorrow alone!  The posting will pick up once the soccer tournaments are over…  The management thanks you for your patience.

As a combination of an early birthday present / celebration of my annual bonus, I treated myself to some new hardware.  I’ve been longing to free myself from the basement when working on gaming, programming, email, etc., and I couldn’t pass up Best Buy’s offer for a shiny, new, midnight blue laptop. I won’t “geek [...]

I just submitted my NBA Ballers: Chosen One review to Gameshark.  To summarize, it’s got an excellent and fun story with high production values, but the actual game play is littered with too many canned animations and not enough player control. Next up for me is another one I’m not real excited about: SEGA Superstars [...]
