Life can really be hard sometimes. I haven't written anything here in a few months as I didn't really think anyone was reading. But now I just need to write some things down. I swear, if 2007 is even half the year 2006 has been, I'm punting! Right now I'm going through a divorce. Someone once said going through a divorce is like walking through Hell. He was wrong. It's like wriggling on your stomach through broken glass through Hell. We started this (at least I did) with the intention of...

The next in my definitive list of best games of all time was another no-brainer. It's one of the few games that I played from start to finish with no other games taking up my gaming time.

This will be my new blog on the greatest games of all time. I expect to do about one a month or so. Maybe more, maybe less as time allows. I'll start way back in the mid-80's and work my way forward. If you disagree with a selection, then write your own blog. I'm old (45 on August 5th) and cranky, so leave me alone. So without further ado, here is the first of the Best Games of All Time! In 1985, Electronic Arts was just a sliver of the massive corporation that it currently is. It occupied...
