What Are You Buying?: 2011, Money, Games, and You!
February 23rd, 2011
2010 is so last year. We played a few blockbusters and some stinkers along the way. We found hidden gems and landmines. Only one thing is for certain: we get to do it all again this year in 2011!
SideQuesting’s Best of 2010 #5: Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
January 20th, 2011
Turning around and releasing a sequel to a game like Assassins Creed 2 a mere year later, is nearly unheard of. Not because we don’t want it, but because games like these are often rushed and not nearly as good as we expect. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is the exception to that rule. No one knew what to expect, but when it finally dropped, we were pleasantly surprised.
Review: Divinity II: Ego Draconis (Xbox 360, PC)
June 5th, 2010
Okay, here’s the deal. There are a lot of games coming out this year and money is tight around the Sidequesting HQ. Dali keeps threatening to replace us all with monkeys and typewriters. So from time to time we have to wade into unfamiliar waters and take a chance in the name of keeping food on the table. At first glance Divinity 2 looks like a fun romp into a fantasy world with dragons, heroes, and bad guys bent on domination. Unfortunately, unless you’re willing to put up with some pain, Divinity 2 falls far short expectations.
Shocked and Awed! MW2 Launch Trailer Incoming!

There is one part that may, nay will surprise you. You’ll know it when you see it. Modern Warfare 2 drops on November 10th. So drink some water and stretch out those thumbs.

You like video games, right? Sure you do. Otherwise, you might be in the wrong part of the internet. Well, then you might be interested in some music along those lines. I Fight Dragons will please your ears and send you back to a time when 8-bit was king.
FAILbox 360: A Tale of the E79 Error
July 8th, 2009
I have been blessed. I’ve never had a 360 Red Ring on me. I did have a drive go bad within a few months of purchasing it. While spinning a disc it sounded like a 15 year old learning to drive stick for the first time. So when a good friend of mine got an RRoD a few weeks ago I thought to my self, Hmm I might be due for one? Lesson here is never, EVER think that.
Review: Prototype
June 17th, 2009
Like a junkie looking for a fix, I searched all my local retailers last week for a copy of Prototype. I was in need of some fresh megabytes to throw into my 360. I had solved Crackdown long ago, and GTA4 and I were not speaking any longer. After a day of searching, I unwrapped Prototype and got a whiff of that New Game Smell. Ahhhh.
