What’s your geekspective? Playing Your Role
Levels, classes, and often-oversized swords doth not an RPG make. Playing a role, or role-playing if you will, is what makes an RPG an RPG.
Do you role-play?

What’s your geekspective? – Survival Mode
Today marks the launch of the semi-expansion, semi-brand new experience for Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST. And with it comes a brand new way to play with Firefight mode.
Firefight is essentially Left 4 Dead meets Halo, and is a very similar multi-player co-op survival experience. Which brings me to today’s question:
What do you think of this recent focus on co-op survival game-types?

What’s your geekspective? – Music Games
It started with an invasion from the East. One day, everyone in the local arcade was doing nothing but wiggling sticks around and pressing buttons or pretending to drive cars. The next day, everyone was a bunch of dancing beatmaniacs.
What do you think of music games?

What’s your geekspective? – Board Games
“The best four days in gaming.”
That’s how they refer to Gen Con, but why? If you look at and compare all of the events at the convention, you’ll find that only 5% (at most) of the show is dedicated to video games.
Board games are the true stars. Let’s put the term “gaming” back in its rightful place.
What’s your favorite board game?

What’s your geekspective? – Achievements
Like them or not, the concept of the “achievement” has revolutionized how we, as gamers, play games and how developers make games.

What’s your geekspective? – Nostalgia
While playing and beating the heck out of and reviewing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-shelled I got to thinking about all the original TMNT action figures I had as a kid and got to wondering if any of them would be worth any money nowadays. Chances are they’re not, but I still wish I still had them.
Is there anything you’ve kept (or wish you’d kept) from your childhood that’s worth a lot of money today?

So, geekspective.com has been around for nearly a month now. Everything seems to be going great so far! It’s good to see the community growing bit by bit. I thought this might be a good opportunity to talk about the elephant in the room.

What’s your geekspective? – Drinks
A little while back, geekspective brought you the review of Mtn. Dew’s World of Warcraft themed Game Fuel. Marketing schemes aside, we geeks need our caffeine.
What do you drink while you game?

What’s your geekspective? – Feels Like the First Time
Video games have been around for a long time now, and so have most of us. I doubt there’s a single visitor to this website who hasn’t grown up with or around them. Which brings us to today’s question:
What was the first video game you ever played?

What’s your geekspective? – The Digital Age
What do you think about everything going digital?
I think we’re pretty damn close to moving on from calling this the Information Age and starting to officially call it the Digital Age.
I was talking with my dad the other day and explaining how all the music I listen to is digital now. It felt like the same conversation we had years ago when cassette tapes went extinct.
