Mike Bracken's blog

Yeah, I know, it's been awhile since we did a Geeking Out blog. Rest assured it's not because there wasn't enough cool stuff to get all nerdy over-it's just that I've been sidetracked with a lot of crap.

Despite being a "well-informed" gamer who knows what he likes and dislikes about games long before they ever hit retail, I'm as prone as anyone when it comes to getting sucked up into hype. Crackdown, which I first read about eons ago when it was featured on the cover of Game Informer magazine, didn't really interest me much at the time.

Another week, another list of stuff I'm excited about. Read on and bask in the nerdiness.

Welcome to the first installment of Geeking Out—okay, it's not really the first installment (earlier chapters can be found in my MySpace blog), but it's the first here at GameCritics. Basically, it's just a weekly entry of what I'm nerdgasming over at the moment—generally revolving around Games, Books, and Movies as well as the occasional glimpse into my incredibly exciting life here at Casa de Bracken. I hope you enjoy it—and I also hope you'll stop by and check out later installments.
