Recently, a remake of the classic Dreamcast game Rez has been added to XBOX Live. Known as Rez HD, it is one of the strangest and most incredible game experiences I've had in awhile.

Rez is a hard game to describe. In some ways, it almost seems more a work of art than a game, and now with full widescreen, gorgeous HD graphics, it has never looked better. You are flying through a computer network as an avatar, and as you get deeper, the music and graphics become more intense and layered....

For some reason, I have always enjoyed the whole genre of games that involve food preparation and serving. At their heart, they are really just matching games anyway. A type of game I generally don't enjoy, however, is known as Hidden Object games. They generally have a scene with a bunch of stuff in it that you have to find.

I was a little skeptical when I first heard about Go Go...

A friend pointed out this site to me a few months ago, and I don't know whether I should thank her or disown her for doing so. While there are lots of sites that have casual games, none seems to be as well integrated or have the offerings that Big Fish Games does. My particular favorite types of games fall into the "Time Management" category, and also the "Match 3" category (don't get me started on games that combine both).

Like a lot of these sites, you can try each game for free...

Ok, I admit it, I am addicted to video games of all kinds. My favorite are casual games, though I like all kinds. I play them regularly on both my PC and also my XBOX 360. So I decided I will start randomly blogging about games I find that I really like.

One of my favorite songs of this past summer has been the ubiquitous Umbrella by the incredibly hot Rihanna. I just disovered this cover version by Mandy Moore of all people and find it interesting - it keeps the sweetness of the song but gives it a different feel. Anyway, I know my musical tastes are a bit mundane - but above all else I am drawn to really strong lyrics and the meaning behind them, and I think thiis a great song in any format.
