  • The Educated Gamer: The Shape of Things to Come

    Columns Columns by Joel Tandberg on

    I’ve been playing videogames for a long time. I’m almost 25, and I had a Colecovision at the age of 3. I think I’ve got a bit of experience. Nowadays, it seems as if fewer and fewer games grab my attention; and more and more often they grab it and then stomp on it, light it on fire and throw it away. I’d like to think that I’m a pretty damn good gamer, but some of today’s games make me feel inadequate. I can tell you that I own at least five games that I haven’t beat and will probably never play again. Is that my fault, or is it the industry's? Here’s what I’m getting at: Many of today’s games are a colossal pain in the ass.

  • Trauma Center: Under the Knife (DS)

  • The Grass is Always…: Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

    Columns Columns by Travis Combs on

    Joel loves cars. He is adept at taking them apart and putting them back together in a frighteningly gifted way. He can put you into a brain coma in 12 seconds (12 seconds!) flat rattling off specs for a car that he swears goes so fast it can rip a hole in the space time continuum and send you into the future. The only knowledge I have that is that extensive belongs to a little thing I like to call Hello Kitty. I’m losing focus here. The point is this: He knows machines inside and out. I once tried to change my oil and set my damn car on fire. You see my point here? While we get along tremendously well, we have little in common when it comes to our employment. I prefer indoors, desks and computers. He enjoys cars, car parts and having sex with wild squirrels.
