'GoldenEye' is Back... But Not Really

Well, there they go. My hopes dashed, yet again.

Everyone got their hopes up when "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded" was trademarked. "Finally," we thought, "we'll get what we deserve!"

Oh, we got what we deserved, all right. We got all excited over a trademark rumor, and now look. We should know better by now!

I don't always get drunk on Saturday nights; but when I do, I play Xbox.

Unfortunately, I'm not a savant that goes from average player to Drunken Master. In fact, the last time I played "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" whilst under the influence, I ended up trying to repair a shed instead of a tank.

You'd have to ask my friends whether or not I'm particularly obnoxious while drinking and playing… but I like to think I'm not a complete jerk. I'm normally a very self-conscious drunk, often apologizing for my poor performance (that's what she said). If anything, my stupor makes the conversations with my Xbox Live buddies all the more amusing.

Review: Torchlight (XBLA)

Having never played “Diablo” or any of the other famous dungeon-crawling, loot-mongering RPGs, I was intrigued by the console release of “Torchlight” on Xbox Live Arcade. While I very well could have picked it up on PC for much cheaper (and had no problem running it), we all know I’m a console man at heart.

Besides, the console port of “Torchlight” is very well done. The controls are simple and direct, with mapable buttons and triggers for spells. I wouldn’t call the game simple, but it’s a perfect fit for light arcade gaming.
