About this author:
My day job is being an animator at a small studio, an admittedly geeky (and awesome) career. I have read Lord of the Rings a countless number of times. I can just about quote The Princess Bride at will. I love Star Wars, and I was even a band geek back in high school where I played the alto saxophone in marching band, symphonic band, and jazz band. I also love to play video games of many different types. I am a complete geek, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Along with bitter winds and the potential for white flakes in the air, it brings annoying jewelry commercials, crowded shopping malls, and skyrocketing airline ticket prices. Oh yeah! December also dishes out an onslaught of lists detailing the best “whatevers” of the year. In this case, the “whatevers” I am bringing you are video games. So what did I think of this year’s crop of interactive entertainment?
Chuck Gets More Episodes
NBC hasn’t aired a single episode of Chuck this fall, and we still probably won’t be seeing the show until 2010 despite rumors that it might come back in November. However, the network recently announced that they have ordered an additional six episodes of Chuck, bringing the total for this yet-to-be-aired season up to 19.
Peter Jackson’s ‘Lovely’ Trailer
Maybe you’ve never heard of Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel, The Lovely Bones. Maybe you have heard of it, but the paperback is still sitting in your “to read” pile. Maybe you’ve read the book so many times you could recite it in your sleep. Regardless of where you sit in relation to the source material, the trailer for Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of the story looks absolutely amazing.

Review – The Conduit (Wii)
High Voltage Software has been hyping their new game, The Conduit, as the title that will make “hardcore” gamers dust off their Wii and give them a reason to play the system again. Should you grab a dust rag or continue using your Wii remotes as paper weights?
Review – Prototype (XBox 360/PS3)
It’s not every day that you wake up on the coroner’s table, interrupting your own autopsy. For most people, that would be a strange occurrence, but it’s only the beginning for Alex Mercer.
E3 2009: Must See Videos You May Have Missed
A ton of great trailers and preview videos for big releases have been shown at E3 this year. There have been so many videos posted online that some games can get lost in the shuffle.

Review – Bully: Scholarship Edition (XBox 360/Wii/PC)
Rockstar Games is most famous for making the Grand Theft Auto series, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make other games. With Bully, Rockstar leaves the world of GTA behind in favor of one with wedgies, swirlies, and “kick me” signs.
Review – World of Goo (WiiWare/PC)
World of Goo oozes wit and charm from every pore. The game’s imaginative puzzles, rousing music, excellent sound design, and a unique art style all add up into an experience that should not be missed. 2DBoy’s World of Goo is much more than just another puzzle game.

Richard B. Riddick is the universe’s biggest badass and a perfect example of an antihero.
