EVE Online Diary of a Part-Timer: May 14

05/14/08

Guess what happens to part-time gamers when real life hits? Yep. They wind up not gaming for a while, particularly when the game at hand is as massive as EVE Online. I don't know how long it will be, but real life demands my attention, so I need to take a break from. This provides a good opportunity to look back at the last few months of EVE Online and evaluate how things went. After all, I wanted to see if a game this large could even be fun for a....

Buzz: Hollywood Quiz Review

05/14/08

We've played more games of Trivial Pursuit: Silver Screen edition than we care to admit here at DailyGame, so it's with a weird mix of excitement and embarrassment that we decided to see whether Buzz: Hollywood Quiz would pass the muster.

While we were rocking out to Guitar Hero 1 and 2, SingStar was there first, so color us late to the party in terms of the franchise. However, like the Guitar Hero games and others of that ilk, the song set list determines just how much fun you'll have, so the game is only as good as.... Continue reading this article

Skullcrushers Subwoofer Headphones Review

05/08/08

Skullcrushers. The name sounds more like a medieval torture device or a fantasy-game clan than it does a desirable headphone system, and the first half of that equation is probably true. Folks in the Middle Ages likely weren't big fans of bass, opting instead for lutes and harps rather than drums and rhythm, so to slip on a headphone system that absolutely glorifies every ounce of bass in a song would probably send serfs into a drumline-induced....
