The Level-5/Studio Ghibli collaboration Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, has been out for a week as of today. It’s been my main gaming focus since it arrived last Tuesday evening and I thought it was time to share some thoughts. I’ll try to avoid any major spoilers [...]

Tonight’s plans got somewhat derailed by a bunch of excitement in the G+ community, and then I had to d/l a new patch for BG:EE, so I didn’t start playing until nearly 11. Traellan’s new friends want him to travel to some gods-forsaken place to investigate the metal shortage but [...]

Beamdog sent over a patch to the PC version of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition tonight. Unfortunately the client doesn’t give you much info, but over in the forums are some patch notes. Looks like it’s almost all bug fixes, but while I was there I noticed a warning: Intel Integrated [...]

I have a confession to make. I never played much of Baldur’s Gate when it came because I, uh, didn’t like it very much. ~ducks the incoming volley of rotten vegetables~ Honestly it was so long ago that I don’t even remember why I didn’t like it. I just know [...]

One of the more charged terms in the lexicon of gamers is GRINDING. MMO players almost universally hate grinding, though there’s a certain breed of single-player RPG gamer that enjoys it.

Atlus sent out a marketing email announcing new price cuts on a bunch of their PSP games. These are all on PSN and (I’m taking Atlus’s word on this part) they’re all Vita-compatible. Title Reduced Price  Old Price Persona $19.99 $39.99 Persona 2:Innocent Sin $29.99 $39.99 Persona 3 Portable $19.99 [...]

If you know me at all, you probably don’t even remotely think of me as a role-player. I never sat around a table playing D&D, and in MMOs I’m pretty quiet as a general rule. I tend to keep to my own company, in games and in ‘real life’ as [...]

So it seems someone else may have survived the Battle of Ostagar, but this person was captured by the Darkspawn (rare, but it does happen. Bregan was captured, after all). Now this individual has escaped and he or she is looking for help from the Grey Wardens. Yeah, that’s pretty [...]
