Just Cause was far from what I’d consider a perfect game, or a classic, but it was a fun little surprise in the early days of the Xbox 360, while I was fiending for a next-gen open-world sandbox game, and GTA4 was still way out on the horizon. A lot of what Just Cause did […]

It’s the holiday season, and with all of the obnoxious overplayed music and decorations that show up way too early come holiday sales. And the Ctrl+Alt+Del store is no different. Enter the code ANTIGRINCH at checkout, and we’ll shave a cool 15% off your order. We do it because we love. Pudding. We love pudding.

I picked up Assassin’s Creed 2 a little while back, and my first impressions were met with a lot of feedback on Twitter. To summarize, I called the game a disappointment. To clarify, I don’t think it’s a bad game. It is by no means a bad game. And upon continuing to play it, I’ve […]

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! Today is Black Friday, also known as the day I don’t even take a step outside, much less go anywhere withing six miles of any kind of retail establishment. So of you may disagree with this philosophy. You may like the special brand of pain that this […]

It took a little longer than planned but I’m really happy to finally see the new site up! Here’s a couple of things to note: All the site URLs have been changed and a lot of content has been moved around. You might have to update your bookmarks. If you follow the CAD RSS feed, […]

I’ll tell you, it feels like we’ve been working on this for months. Though that’s probably because we’ve been working on this for months. This marks the fourth time we’ve redesigned the website in the seven years I’ve been doing Ctrl+Alt+Del, and let’s face it, it was long overdue. And so I present to you […]

Our very popular Starbucks mug has once again sold out, but fret not! A new batch is on its way. Additionally, we finally have some character mugs available in the store (you wouldn’t even believe the year-long struggle we’ve had with these mugs), and just in time for the holidays! Your liquids will love you […]

I did pick up Modern Warfare 2, yes, I am one of the millions and millions. I played a little (and I mean really little) bit of it, and it looks good. Graphics are fantastic, looks like it will offer some fun action. I did notice that despite all of the advances they still haven’t […]

And a huge thank you to all the men and women of our various armed forces that have busted their asses for our country which the rest of us often take for granted.

Happy 234th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps!

So I’m playing Dragon Age and loving every minute of it. It’s a fantastic story and world that you can really get into if you let yourself. However, I’ve run into a problem, not with the game, but rather an issue that I’ve faced in every party-based RPG that I’ve ever played. You see, I […]

I was excited for Dragon Age: Origins when I first heard about it. A huge, epic dark fantasy RPG from Bioware? What’s not to be excited about? I kept the game on my radar, but mostly at arms-length. I do that with titles I’m excited for, sometimes. I absorb what information comes my way, but […]

Just thought I’d point your attention to a promotion over at the EA store offering a cool 20% off in-stock games until the 7th. Pretty good deal with the fall release season in full swing and the holidays just around the corner.

Additionally if you subscribed to Season Two online, you should have received a coupon in the email you registered with for 50% off the purchase of the Season 2 […]

The 18″x24″ high resolution glossy poster is now available in our online store. Your wall is naked without! Naked! And speaking of naked, your game consoles are looking a little bare themselves.

I haven’t played Brutal Legend yet. It’s not because I don’t want to; I own it, it’s sitting there waiting to be played. And it’s not because of all the reviews and talk that suggest the game gets terribly repetitive and uninspired after the first few hours. That certainly concerns me, but the possibility isn’t […]

Over the last couple of days I’ve been playing through Uncharted 2, and though I haven’t finished it yet, I can confidently say that it is my favorite game of the year so far. The talented folks at Naughty Dog have once again crafted one of the most cinematic, engaging and naturally enjoyable video game […]

This is a milestone for our event, marking five fantastic years of bringing people together to hang out and play games for a weekend. And you’re going […]

So, anyone else psyched for Dragon Age: Origins?     Video Games | Dragon Age: Origins | Brood Mother Trailer HD XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii (I think my favorite part is the little double-take the adventurers do)

I’ve exchanged a few emails with Walking_Target, one of the leaders of the L4D2 Boycott, and he expressed some concerns that I was focusing too much on the vocal contingent of the boycott that is trying to get free content, and not enough on what he states as their primary issue here, and that is […]

I conveyed my opinions on the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott via Twitter a couple of times in the past, but I still get the occasional person asking me what I think of the situation. Since people continue to be up in arms over the subject, despite the recent DLC to L4D, and in the […]
