Saturday: Nine Lives Final: Portable Gaming – Can It Work?
This is the final week. I understand you busy gamers are just so busy that you’re busyifying this article. I assume busyifying means something like shortening or making words up to mean something. I can’t be 100% on that.
You get on a plane, train, or an automobile that you’re hopefully not operating. Reading a book just doesn’t feel right, listening to music isn’t stimulating enough, and you’re not tired enough to sleep right now. What to do? Whip out your portable gaming console...
Saturday: Nine Lives 3 – To Log On or Not to Log On?
Each week in January, I (Tim) will cover a topic that is close to the working gamers’ heart. Yes, some of us are busy with work, school, and other non-game endeavors, heck, even social encounters! But gaming is who we are deep inside still, and I’m here to console, advise, and to help keep you abreast of gaming nerdery. This week, I ask the ultimate question: online play or single play?
There's a very large line of demarcation between today's gamers: online gamers and those who are most a...

Nobody really thought we were done with this, did they?
Of course not. Mega Man is a franchise that is more cherished the older, glitchier, and stranger it gets. Clearly, it is unkillable. Not that anybody's trying to kill it. Except for legions of menacing, mechanical murderbots.
This time around, there is NO strangely-haired super scientist trying to explode his devious whatever all over the planet. You might say this is a departure for the series. But fear not, classic Mega ...

You probably don't know Tim Kitzrow.
He's not a household name, except maybe in his own. He sounds like a guy who takes out the trash, mows the lawn, and all right, fine, he'll takes the dog for her night walk because Jimmy forgot to, but he's not happy about it. He sounds like "Tim Kitzrow, you know, from accounting?"
But Tim Kitzrow is much, much more than an office worker and dedicated parent. In fact, I have no idea if he is either of those things. What we know for sure about...

What opens with the appearance of the next "Dr. Seuss" CG massacre turns into something much, much different than what one would expect; and not just from the trailer's intro, but from LEGO games entirely.
We have been privy to LEGO games featuring both Star Wars and Indiana Jones, all of which feature a massive amount of playable characters and a unique humor combining the concepts of LEGO and both film franchises, with varying degrees of success.
But now... finally... LEGO is taking it'...
Lance F*cking Henriksen to Appear in New AvP Title

The first time I saw Sasquatch Mountain (not to be confused with Sasquatch Hunters, which I just realized I did), I thought, "Boy, this is terrible, but at least Lance Henriksen is salvaging another awesome performance as powerful CEO Chase Jackson."
As one of only two people to have the cinematic honor of being killed by an alien, predator, and terminator (Bill Paxton being the other), Mr. Henriksen has built quite the resume of direct-to-DVD powerhouses, while piling up supporting roles in ...
2K Games Refers to Jose Reyes As “Emerging Talent” For Some Reason

Baseball games have come a long way from "Bases Loaded." The crowds cheer instead of blink, the players and teams are real players and teams, and the bat doesn't make a weird metallic sound when it hits the ball. Not to mention the plethora of minute facets of the game, on both the physical and business sides of the game, that have been incorporated into impressive baseball titles. With the upcoming "Major League Baseball 2K10," (Seriously, the 'K' isn't abbreviating it anymore, guys), 2K ...
Saturday: Nine Lives 1- Gaming and You
Week 1: Scheduling time to game (and other unimportant things like eating, sleeping, work/school)
Each week in January, I (Tim) will cover a topic that is close to the working gamers’ heart. Yes, some of us are busy with work, school, and other non-game endeavors, heck, even social encounters!
