Fragmented gaming recently, but finished and loved Fable III
I’ve been pretty busy recently, so have only had very fragmented gaming time. I did finish Fable III, however and really enjoyed it. The game was good, the voice acting superb, and the sense of humor throughout was terrific. Fable III started off pretty easily, with baddies almost never hurting you as you blast them…

LOTRO Tour 9: Lone Lands
In this video tour, we cross the Lone Lands from the Forsaken Inn to Ost Guruth, but in a roundabout way. The path takes us to the summit of Weathertop where the Hobbits encountered the Nazgul, then down a shortcut and back to the road. We encounter wargs, spiders, half-orcs, and more on the way…

LOTRO Tour 8: Bree to the Forsaken Inn
Here I paid for a fast horse from the south gate of Bree to the Forsaken Inn at the start of the Lone Lands. Upon leaving South Chetwood, we can see the Midgewater Marshes, then the entrance to the Bree player housing area, and finally arriving at the Forsaken Inn, which clearly has seen better…

Fable III Missing Child mission
I’m enjoying Fable III a lot. To some extent, it is a slightly dumbed-down Fable II, but so far, it is extremely well done, and the voice acting is superb (John Cleese, Ben Kingsley, Bernard Hill, Simon Pegg, and more)! I have only played a few hours, so haven’t done any flirting or marriage or…

LOTRO Tour Part 6: Stock to Bree
In my never ending quest to show just how big Middle Earth in LOTRO is, I’m continuing the tour, this time riding from Stock (in the Shire) to Bree. This is, of course, not the path the Hobbits took to Bree, as they went through the forest and met Tom Bombadil. Sometime, I will show…

Star Trek Online ground mission
The best part, in my opinion, of Star Trek Online are the starship battles, but the ground missions are fairly good, as well. In most of them, you and your faithful Bridge Officers (BOFFs) fight enemies and scan things and fix broken things and generally save the planet. It is important to choose your BOFFs…

Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum – what a great game!
After starting it twice before, I finally finished Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition, and what an amazing game it turned out to be. The story is good, the graphics are great, the exploring is fun, and the fighting is terrific. I was really surprised at just how much game there is –…

Still playing Star Trek Online and Lord of the Rings Online
So between finishing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Gears of War 3 and being punished for thinking I could play Dark Souls, I have continued to play Star Trek Online (STO) and Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO), because they are fun and comfortable. I am a charter subscriber to STO and have a lifetime…

After GOW3, Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition!
After I finished GOW3, I figured I should enjoy some punishment for a while, so I started Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on the PC. Dark Souls, like its predecessor, Demon Souls, is a game that you love to hate or hate to love or some of both. It is amazingly atmospheric and absorbing,…
