Currently very much into a number of MMOs and single player RPGs and like many people fluctuating on a low income due to the economy I am a gamer on a budget. Been playing video games since just before the NES hit with the Atari 2600.

10 Thoughts On...Mass Effect 3 Single Player Demo (PC)

Mass Effect 3 is one of those games you know they’d either have to go big with or go home. It’s The Reaper invasion, and if the demo is any indication, the road to beating them is going to be rough, but a helluva lot of fun to play through. I wasn’t one of the people who bought Battlefield 3 »»

Digital Tabletop: Privateer for the Republic

Digital Tabletop: 20 Levels of TERA

One of the things that has impressed me about TERA, and not just the polish on it and how well combat moves, is how gorgeous the entire game looks and feels. When you’re up over looking a valley, or looking up at a giant tree, or even just admiring your character or an NPC, this game is stunning. »»
