http://wordsmithvg.blogspot.com/2015/04/new-mortal-kombat-x-makes-man-feel-old.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. New 'Mortal Kombat X' makes man feel old, gelatinous. After months of anticipation, Mortal Kombat X is finally upon us. Before you snag a copy, tell your friends to “get over here! 8221; and make with the decapitations, take a minute to consider this: The original Mortal Kombat came out in 1992. Do you remember Mortal Monday, when MK1 came out on home systems and also not Sega CD until months later? And you know what that means? Ah, to be young again. Some current middle school s...

Wordsmith VG: September 2014
http://wordsmithvg.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 3, 2014. Back to School: Revisiting "Bully" on Xbox 360. Welcome back to school! More accurately, woe and eternal damnation to all who must enter. Anyway, Meet Jimmy Hopkins. He's the 15-year-old protagonist of the school-based GTA clone, Bully: Scholarship Edition on Xbox 360. I didn't really dig the PS2 original, but I decided to give Bully another shot when I found it on sale for two cents and a seductive sideways glance on Xbox Live. I'm glad I did. That Is. AWESOME. Drawings and...

Wordsmith VG: July 2015
http://wordsmithvg.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Street Fighter V beta takes is cues from SF Alpha. Maybe it was cosmic retribution for seeing "Legend of Chun-Li" in theaters, or maybe I'm just lucky. But while the majority of Street Fighter V beta participants were busy just trying to log into the massively overburdened server this past weekend, I managed to get about two hours play time with the upcoming title in Capcom's flagship series. In comparison, SFV is much more bare bones. In SFV, the Super Bar works nearly the same as...

Wordsmith VG: PlayStation Home: All Investment, and NO RETURN…
http://wordsmithvg.blogspot.com/2010/07/playstation-home-all-investment-and-no.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. PlayStation Home: All Investment, and NO RETURN…. I knew before I even loaded it up that the PS3 “social network” – PlayStation Home. 8211; is a colossal waste of time. But I’ve discovered over the last few weeks that if you’re not careful, Home will consume your every free moment like a bear eating a honey-drenched child, whether you like it or not. That’s when I knew it was time for a virtual sex change. Back on my own PS3, I did my best to create a respectable woman to represen...
