So, with the new Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on the forefront, I thought, hey, let’s review the original. And, according to a lot of reports, what I say here is a good reflection on the sequel (it sounds like they didn’t change a lot in the next installment). At first, you are forced into [...]

Galaxy Trucker This is a two part type boardgame that has distinct mechanics in each part. There is the planning or building stage and then, the action stage. The first part consists of a race to build your ship. You want to have weapons and shields and cargo space and crew quarters, but you do [...]
So, I don’t like the Travel deck… It made this game a Traitor’s paradise. Every time, we tried to get something going, we were lost in the woods or ambushed. Some might say that it made the game harder, I though it made the game frustrating. I have played SoC a number of times without [...]
It takes me a while to review video games as I follow my “Don’t pay full price” mantra as much as possible. In doing so, I generally wait until a game is under $25 before buying it. So, don’t expect reviews of Madden ’10 on here (besides the fact I despise that game now… give [...]
So, a while back I had a podcast that dealt exclusively with the ability to play boardgames on the Internet. I reviewed a number of sites and reached 28 episodes before I burned out. While it wasn’t The Dice Tower, I did everything by myself and, if you haven’t done a podcast before, it is [...]

So, I decided I wanted to make a game for Facebook. "Why?" you ask… Because, I think it will be fun. Yep, I’m wacky that way. Anyway, I decided to make the game based on kung-fu or martial arts in general. You have your character and you set up active and passive training and you [...]
The final show, or is it? I don’t give a farewell, because I really thought I would be inspired to continue. I had a farewell script written in December of 2007, but I never posted it because I thought that maybe in 2008, I would make a comeback. Instead, I went through more transistion. I [...]

Probably a review that I should have done a long time ago. Yucata.de is one of the best online boardgaming sites out there. It has a ton of games available and is still developing new adaptations.
