On August 15th, 2013, I begged for the privilege to review Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time. I loved PvZ1 so much that I beat the game multiple times on nearly every platform the game was available on. I completed all bonus games and was near obtaining the platinum on the Vita (before THE… Continue reading Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time….For a Second Look

James is a self-proclaimed Jack of All Trades when it comes to geek culture. He can speak well to video games, but can also go on for hours about movies, TV, comics, sports, Transformers, GoBots....yeah. Do not test him on years as he can tell you the year a movie, album and occasionally the US release year of a video game without thinking about it. Most likely he is the elder of the group. He can tell you what it was like right when E.T. on Atari first came out (and how wonderful it was)

So when we started Geeks With Wives & Capes I was excited that one of my first opportunities for… Continue reading Army of Darknes VS Hack/Slash Issue #1
Unpopular Opinion: Playstation 3 controllers
Disclaimer: This is my own opinion and may not be the opinion of Geeks With Wives or any of the staff…in fact, they all may call me nuts for even putting this to print. I am a fan of the Playstation 3 controllers. I am pluralizing this because I enjoyed the Sixaxis controller, the Dualshock… Continue reading Unpopular Opinion: Playstation 3 controllers
The Next Generation of Innovation and Limitation
Update: As you may have heard, on June 19th, Microsoft announced the following: Xbox One games will not require an Internet connection every 24 hours just to play offline. A one-time Internet connection will be required during system set-up, but that’s it. Games on disc may be lent, resold, given away and rented, just as… Continue reading The Next Generation of Innovation and Limitation
Console Wars: No matter who loses, do we win?
The “war” may be a result of the financial times we live in. Nearly all gamers can afford to only play on one platform. The amount of available disposable income we have is very limited nowadays. We have to make a choice and stick with it. Once we make this decision, it is human nature to defend the decision. To justify their purchase. To let everyone know that what YOU chose is the right decision. Any other choice is simply wrong. This does not imply that there is truly one right or wrong answer. Each choice has its pros and cons.
