The games: I own two games right now: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. I'm impressed with the latest installment of the ...

So, two posts in one day. I just picked up a copy of Entertainment Weekly with a bunch of top-50 lists of the best movies, books, TV shows, musicals, and games. I am going to list some of the game highlights that I either agree with or deeply ...

This post gets more serious as it progresses.
I never thought I would be proclaiming to the world that I have purchased a Playstation 3 computer entertainment system. Happy birthday to me.
