Bioshock - 2K Did it right!

I recently went back and purchased Bioshock from Steam and was humbly reminded of the incredible game that 2K Boston had developed. If you have not sat down and given that game a run through I heavily encourage you to reconsider your decision not to do so.

A Big Daddy. A new villain to add to the great halls of the video game  hall of fame.

To give you a rundown of what the game is: you play a character who was in a plane that crashed in an unknown location - of course! You find your way into a city that is submerged underwater - Rapture. The game grabs you right from the get go by presenting the player with a story that is not told by other characters perse but, rather, through the heavy use of imagery and sound (specifically the voice recordings that are found throughout the game that illuminate certain portions of the story as you go along). A strange, Orwellian world that seems so mysterious yet so very intriguing during the first run through. Overall, a must buy!

Until next time... so long.

"The Beginning" of Futuristic Gaming

Remember this gem?
Right around the Sony's Playstation 2 launch, their ad campaign included a strange yet awe-inspiring video depicting a gamer in the year 2078 who recently gained ownership of a palm-sized sphere with the logo "PS9" embedded on it.
As a 7 year old at the time, images of futuristic games that included holograms and the like was, as I said before, awe-inspiring and resulted in me begging my parents for a PS2 for years to come.
Anyways, enjoy, I recently stumbled upon it on Youtube.

E3

It is that time of the year again: E3!!!!
For those of you who have stumbled upon this new, infrequently updated blog and are unfamiliar with the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3), it is one of the largest electronics shows in the world with thousands of people flying to California's Bay Area once a year to partake in an epic display of nerd-dom. Not to mention the millions of others who watch the event online (myself included) Of course, the term nerd being used subjectively and not in a negative context. The truth is that I am a nerd and to all my fellow nerds out there who chose to hide behind the social mores of life in order to appear more acceptable by peers, coworkers, et cetera: Fear not! For you are not alone. You are but one of a large multitude of individuals who enjoy, consume, live, and breath the entertainment industry. Believe it or not but without nerds, entertainment would be a different world entirely. Until next time.... so long.
