Travian: The New Promisance?

I’m going to go ahead and assume majority of the blog readers have played Promisance (aka Prom) at some time; if you haven’t you can google it. It’s always fun to play once in a long while and when one pops up everyone seems to get in to it but there is a new, more [...]

The Best Online Co-op Game

Rainbow Six Vegas 2. That is the answer – docmoo and I have played virtually every co-op console game and if I had to guess I’d say we’ve played (each) over 200 hours of Rainbow 6: Vegas 2. Its simply that good – if you play co-op and you haven’t tried it you must – [...]

Farcry 2 and Malaria

I’ve been playing this game for ~9hrs now and am about 20% complete. My goal is not to complete it as quickly as possible, but rather to do as much as possible – the side missions, the buddy missions, pretty much every mission there is. The story behind the game is pretty solid, although it [...]
