Bayonetta made the rounds of the blogs when it came out, largely because of it’s hyper-sexuality, and the fact it’s from the same creative mind that made the Devil May Cry franchise. Most of what I read was focused around the design of the titular character, Bayonetta. Some of what I read cast her in [...]

Today’s First Impressions: Bayonetta post has been delayed due to Protonaut. My suggestion? Go play that while I finish collecting gasses writing. If experience teaches me anything, it’s that you won’t notice the time fly by.

So, I took all the suggestions folks gave me for playing Dragon Age and decided to start over. I was having fun, with my knew mage, Chelon. The name is short for Cheloniidae, by the way. I had a character journal in mind when I created him, and that’s why he’s male, and bald with a [...]

I’ve had Overlord 2 for a while, but hadn’t played it (as it lived at Girl’s house for some time). I recently borrowed it, and began playing it. This isn’t strictly a First Impressions post, but I’m about that far into the game.
Girl and I played the first game fairly differently. One of her favorite [...]

Borderlands plot — at least as far as I’ve gotten into it — is largely non-existent. I’ve gotten several quests to kill some dudes, and a ghost lady that suggest I should do these quests to kill some dudes. I’m pretty good at killing dudes, and that seems fun. Darksiders plot is much more [...]

Most of the old posts of this type went with the great hard drive failure of ‘09, but I like to talk about games before I’ve fully experienced them. I’ll gladly analyze them to death the whole time, but I tend to drift away from games, or finish them. Neither is a good way to [...]

(This article is going to be geeky and technical and ranty. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
As I’ve mentioned I’m prepping for the Glorious Trainwrecks’ THE 371-IN-1 KLIK & PLAY PIRATE KART II: KLIK HARDER event. I’m on win7 and Klik & Play doesn’t really run all that easily, so I’ve been poking about for [...]

Nothing major to report gaming-wise today. I went to the local GBox to pick up a game: predictably, Mass Effect 2 was sold out, as were Bayonetta and Darksiders on the 360. Those were the two main games I went to get, since they fall into a sort of odd category for me. That category [...]

There is a lot to say about sexuality in video games, from character models to treating romantic partners like vending machines. The transgression series is primarily interested in player action though, so this post is about sexual actions the player can take. This is a much smaller subset of actions in games, and I share [...]

When I first thought about writing the transgression posts on killing, Assassin’s Creed was foremost on my mind. In the games you play as an assassin (first Altair, and later Ezio), who is discovering a plot by Templars to control humanity. The assassins are cast as people who love peace and freedom, and use [...]
