I bought this game the day it came out as I was majorly excited about its release. To give a quick summery of the game right off the bat, I'm fairly disappointed. But, I have more to say than just that. Mainly, I guess I was expecting a more "SimEverything" type game, which I believe was actually one of the original titles given to the game. And by that, I guess I was expecting the same type of depth that was available in games such as SimCity and SimEarth, but playable through all the stages from cell to space. Instead, this game plays like five different games, but watered-down versions of the games. With the time that was spent making the game, I was hoping for so much more. 597@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2008-10-01T01:05:00-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2007/04/got_a_wii.html Got myself a Wii yesterday.

Also, I am selling my copy of Twisted Metal for PSP. You can find all these goodies on EBay. 344@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2005-09-01T18:09:56-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/12/gotta_get_a_psp.html Everytime I hear more info on the PSP, I just want to have it more and more. It just sounds so good. And the looks, wow, it's a beautiful machine. I just got done reading some good info over at Gear Live. The Top Ten Things You Need to Know About Sony’s PSP 272@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-12-29T22:55:11-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/12/reliving_old_games.html The other day, I discovered a pretty cool open source program called DOSBox. This program allows those old DOS games to played flawlessly on Windows XP. So, I have been spending a lot of time playing an old favorite, SimEarth, and will probably bust of the original Civilization soon. This program does require a fairly powerful machine since it needs to emulate all the hardware. But, I have been playing on a 2.8 GHz P4 and everything has been working just like it did 15 years ago. With he exception of everything being really small. 258@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-12-02T11:08:35-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/09/nintendo_ds_november_30.html Look like Wal-Mart is taking pre-orders for the new Nintendo DS game system. Is going to be selling for $199.82 and has a release date of 11/30/04 (my birthday). I'm sure all these details have been out for a while now, but I haven't really been following closly. 206@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-09-15T09:35:51-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2003/12/i_was_robbed.html I can't believe Princess Peach and Diddy Kong. I was in third place and out of nowhere, they come flying across the finish line to beat me by one thousandth of a second. That is crap. 60@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2003-12-23T02:39:45-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2003/11/super_mario_bros_3_beaten_in_11_minutes.html This is something that has to be seen to be believed. Check out this link: http://media.ebaumsworld.com/moSMB3.wmv This is an 11 minute long video showing the complete game. This guy must have spent the past 10 or 15 years (however long this game has been out) perfecting this. It is a true artwork the way the guy plays this game. Not quite sure who this is, but I saw this link posted at ClieSource and I just had to share it. 45@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2003-11-27T02:17:52-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2003/11/mario_kart_double_dash.html Today I bought Mario Kart for the GameCube. Super Mario Kart for the SNES has got to be my all time favorite game. I still am not sure if this game fully lives up to it, but it is a pretty fun game itself. I've never played the N64 version,so I can't comment on that. 42@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2003-11-19T01:55:57-05:00
