Lawsuits against Final Fantasy, Dungeon Siege 3 Info & Booth Babe restrictions? - Welcome to the column that is considering the idea of launching an expo called Gaming Pron 2011 featuring nothing but booth babes known as Dare to Play the Game.

All is better in World of Warcraft. After a second GM ticket and a lot more waiting, Sarah’s account is back for the most part. They restored Sarah’s 2 80’s, her 78 and my 75 rogue all in one piece from what I can tell. Now while they did restore her and my lower level characters, they kinda piece-mealed it (all of the equipment but many of the items had no stats) which means if we do want to play any of the lower levels again, we will have to build them back up with dungeon runs most likely.

Prince of Persia Box Office, PSPGo still Sucks & Hidden Xbox 360 games? - Welcome to the column that had its pile of shame declared a national terrorist threat known as Dare to Play the Game.

Well there is some good news and some bad news this week in the land of the World of Warcraft. Good news, my dwarf shadow priest is level 79 and about half-way home to 80. So, needless to say I am very happy that my character made it that far and look forward to a maxed out character. The only drawback is that once he hits 80, I might never play him again.

The Fall of the PSP, No German Violent Games Ban & Nintendo doesn’t make games for kids? - Welcome to the column that was two hundred columns in the making known as Dare to Play the Game.

I’m back from vacation, thanks for noticing. Thank you even if you didn’t notice, now quick you have 199 columns to read before you can enjoy this one (I have to get my hits somehow). This last week was spent in Bossier City, LA, not exactly a hot vacation spot but we had a lot of fun regardless. We also didn’t do any gambling there unless you count some horse racing which to me isn’t really gambling, it’s more like educated guesses.

Project Ten Dollar, 451 Weeks & Obama Doesn’t Know How to Work an XBox? - Welcome to the column that doesn’t know the first thing about politics but at least we are honest about it known as Dare to Play the Game.

I spent most of this week in between good ole World of Warcraft and Final Fight Double Impact. For Final Fight/Magic Sword, I took the time to beat each game (or in the case of Final Fight 3 times) at least once and get half of the achievements. I did however screw up the Guy achievement by accidentally switching to another character halfway into the game.

Fallout 3: New Vegas, Super Mario Crossover & When Will I Quit Gaming? - Welcome to the column that dares anybody to rip the controller from his cold dead hands known as Dare to Play the Game.

So, I looked at Tecmo Bowl Throwback all of last week and I simply could not bring myself to buy the darn thing. There is honestly only one reason why. The size of the players on the field. They are ridiculously small (in HD or Classic mode), to the point of picking one out for a particular play can be rather difficult. After a while I did get better with the demo, but never to the point where I felt comfortable. It’s a real shame and something of a disappointment.

Level Creation in Dante’s Inferno, Three Years of LOTR Online & ESRB isn’t good enough? - Welcome to the column that wishes to submit a new rating of C (for Crap) to the ESRB known as Dare to Play the Game.

I’ve been playing some fighting games lately. As some of you know, I’ve been collecting old xbox original games and came upon a complete copy of Dead or Alive 3 for $5. I actually cracked it open a day later (I’m shocked too) and played the arcade mode through on a couple of characters. I’ve never actually played the Dead or Alive series but it isn’t too far a departure from say Tekken or Virtua Fighter.
