Steam Guides: The Beast Becomes Stronger
There’s no contest when it comes to PC gaming: Steam is the place to be. Their sales drive interest of games through the roof, their overlay and community features are unparalleled, and their selection goes from all kinds of software to almost any kind of game. Although there have been many contenders that stepped up to the plate to offer similar services, many do so out of a sense of fear; afraid that by giving Valve a monopoly on PC gaming, we will lose that special something business thrives on: competition.
However, Valve is not intimidated by competition and seeks it out regularly with the implementation of bold new features. Last fall it was Big Picture Mode, moving the Steam experience away from the PC and into the living room. Now, it is eliminating the need for a second screen/device to look to for help, with their new community feature: Steam Guides. …continue reading

California Games VS. California Games VS. California Games II VS. California Games II VS. California Games II, 1987, 1991
These games were released on tons of platforms. The first one got me through a lot of long family drives on our Atari Lynx. Hacky Sack was my favorite event.
I played the hell out of California Games for the NES. I still bust it out from time to time. It always takes me a bunch of faceplants to figure out skateboarding… and finding that sweet spot in the frisbee game is ridiculous.

"Is there a line [to cross]? If our medium is art, how could there be a line? How could we allow there to be a line, and who gets to decide what the line is? That’s a very slippery slope — there should not be a line."

Spring Break Backlog BBQ
I decided that one of my goals for spring break, was to play a bunch of games I’ve had sitting around unfinished, or in some cases completely unstarted. I sprinkled in a few newer releases as well, to keep it feeling fresh and exciting, but here’s the list of games I conquered over break. Be prepared to weep with joy due to my awesomeness:
- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
- Raskulls
- Solitaire (Vegas, 3-card draw… several times)
- Homefront
- Dead Nation
- Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 1
- Resistance: Fall of Man
- Angry Birds Seasons: Go Green, Get Lucky
- Red Dead Redemption
- Hydrophobia
- Banjo-Kazooie
And of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without another list of the games I attempted and abandoned due to various reasons:
- Kameo: Elements of Power
- Resident Evil 5
- MegaMan 10
- Pokemon White
If that doesn’t count for a successful Spring Break, I honestly don’t know what does. Now… just another hundred or so unplayed/unbeaten games to go and I’ll be caught up with my backlog! Wish me luck…

According to my Raptr profile, I’ve spent 48 hours on Super Meat Boy. I’ve beaten Dr. Fetus in the light world and dark. I’ve unlocked all but two characters. And I just finished the light side of Cotton Alley.
My stress levels have never been so high while also having so much fun. But I can say without a doubt that it is the best $10 I’ve spent in a very long time. Go buy it now… unless you don’t have a 360, and in that case, wait until it’s out for PC later this month.
