Why One Console Winning Would Be Bad For Gamers

Posted by on 11 April 2013

So the time is fast approaching when the the next round of console wars are about to begin. We are just about coming to the end of the last one and a lot of gamers (not all) spent a lot of time posturing and trying to justify why their console of choice was better than the console/platform someone else chose to buy and use.

I have pretty much owned every console this generation and can see the positives and negatives of each one and when I think about it I like them all for different reasons but have no real preference and contrary to popular opinion, I view the PC in exactly the same way.

Bioshock Infinite: History and Heisenberg

Posted by on 28 March 2013

Bioshock Infinite is a superb game, and a worthy successor to the masterpiece of imagination that was the original. While the new adventure doesn’t bring actual historical figures onstage, it is set against a very real and vivid backdrop of US politics, society, economics, and warfare. As I did with Call of Duty: Black Ops, I wish to discuss some of the specific references and allusions mentioned in the latest Irrational game. (Remarkably, I wrote that piece exactly two years ago yesterday, during Spring Break 2011. Who says I don’t know how to party?)

In the first few sections I will give only minor spoilers for the first part of the game, but starting with part three (“The Ludlow Massacre”) we will enter major spoiler territory. Ye have been warned.
