I was scanning through some old programs I made and found my Fireworks sample app. What does it do? Well, it makes fireworks. Just click or drag the mouse to make randomly rainbow colored fireworks appear. I made this basic app for an excuse to play around with the Havok physics engine. Man, what powerful…
PORTFOLIO – Ball Slapper
One of the first games I created was used from a GameMaker template. Changing a few things around and adding my own content, I came up with Ball Slapper – the goal is to click the balls before they hit the sides of the stage and reach the border, Breakout-Stlye. The more clicks, the higher…
BLOG – Pre 2011 Black Friday Deals Found
Like all Americans, I am excited about Black Friday and scoring some sweet deals. However, Xmas came early for me this year as I found some sweet clearance deals at my local Target today. I doubt most gamers would get excited about finding Konami’s New International Track & Field on DS for $4.48, but hey,…
REVIEW – Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3)
GREAAAAAAAT! Without question, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is quite the package. Arguably, MGS2 and MGS3 are some of the PS2’s finest titles with Peace Walker standing as one of the highest quality titles on Playstation’s portable. Bundling them all on a single disc, giving them an HD makeover, and selling for a reduced…
REVIEW – Spiderman: Edge of Time (PS3)
Out Of Time Instead of putting you in the shoes of four Spidermen like last year’s Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time seamlessly transitions between a past and future Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the focus on style puts all gameplay in the backseat. Comic books can have some pretty strange plotlines but Edge of Time takes a new…
REVIEW – X-Men Destiny (PS3)
It Is Not Your Destiny X-Men Destiny does something different. Instead of assuming control of your favorite mutant superhero, Destiny puts you in the shoes of an unknown mutant. The entire basis behind the gameplay is having the option of imbuing the special abilities of your liking, not unlike selecting the Ranger, Fighter, or Mage…
REVEIW – Sonic Generations (360)
Back To Basics Sega’s favorite mascot has going through some tough times ever since he left the Genesis era. Sonic Generations is a throwback to great 2D levels of the 16-bit age with the best touches of Sonic Adventure mixed in. Sure, fans received Sonic Colors but the ridiculous alien plotline was a little strange…

REVIEW – Self-Defense Training Camp (Kinect)
Punching You In the Nuts If there is one thing I learned from playing Self-Defense Training Camp, it is that dudes should constantly be wearing a cup. Every day trips to the grocery store, during a meeting at work, or just walking to the mailbox, it does not matter – just make sure you are…
