This began as a simple comment and quickly grew into something larger, apologies for my inability to self-edit. Thank you, Sean for your passionate words and eliciting some from within me. 

I think blaming the aggressive and offensive minority within …

Nintendo’s Wii U is having quite a gaggle of problems in its first few weeks of life.  A games library made up almost entirely of games easily found on other platforms and are worse on the Wii U.  Egregiously long …

When I saw that PSN was going to drop a Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch demo last Sunday, I was beyond excited. I don't own a Playstation 3, but I am currently borrowing one from a …

[Warning: Spoilers for Bioshock, Bioshock 2, The Walking Dead, Dishonored, Mass Effect 3, and Heavy Rain are ahead.]

What is it lately with all these damn rascally kids in my Mature rated video games? ShepKid in Mass Effect 3, …

A few days ago, 2K and Irrational Games released the official cover art for the upcoming Bioshock Infinite, a game over which I (and a considerable portion of the gaming populace) have been salivating for some time.

The general reaction to the cover …

Here’s a bit of news that won’t come as a shock to anyone who’s played games for at least a handful of years: the majority of videogame adaptations of popular intellectual properties are crap.  The most any gamer can hope …

Around 1987, my brother got a Sega Master System while I was on the Nintendo.  We both played each other systems and though in gave us a range of games and genres, I tended to beat everything of ours.

The pun here is supposed to be 'Week In Gaming', but for the second time now I've only managed to power up my consoles on the 'actual' weekend. There just isn't enough time in my weekdays anymore as …

Breaking into the video games market is hard. There is no doubt about that. In fact, it appears that new, budget games, are in decline and it's not hard to see why so many developers are giving up. …

I'm not a multiplayer guy myself, although I appreciate how much it can mean to a lot of gamers to have a good online option available in a game. In fact forget a lot; it's safe to assume a …

December has arrived, one of the most notoriously quietest month of the year when it comes to game releases. The number of games I’ve seen come out in December that’s even remotely worth giving a damn about can be counted …

For the first ever, a Nintendo handheld has gotten not one, but two core Pokémon games in its lifespan! Squeezing itself in at the tail end of the DS life-cycle, Pokémon Black and White breathes new life into a somewhat depleted franchise …

I really hate it when games hide scenes after (or sometimes even in the middle) of their end credits.  Oftentimes, this scene is crucial to what will happen next in the series and is cool to see.  The problem is …

While cleaning out our basement I happened upon my Sega Dreamcast and just couldn't help take this much beloved console out for a spin. I have nothing but the fondest memories of this system which I picked up launch …

Without much thought, art brings to mind paintings and sculptures, and over time it's grown to include music, and perhaps more begrudgingly books, while film continues to carve a niche in the world of "art".

I've been singing the praises of Mark of the Ninja since day one, but if you still need convincing that this stealth action sidescroller is worth your gaming dollars then by all means read on.

When I was younger, I had a teacher who asked the class a very interesting question. She asked us whether we thought people were intrinsically good, with a few bad tendencies, or intrinsically bad, with a few good tendencies. …

I'll admit, I wasn't going to order this figure initially, but my Zelda fanboydom eventually got the best of me. I'm glad I did pick it up, because it's really an awesome addition to the collection. Plus, I thought …

Another HALO game.  An easy passing statement.  When you’re accustomed to something being of quality you tend to give it certain level of disregard.  The ‘oh another’ feeling’s almost nail in the coffin to many a long term series, …

Year in Review

2012 was a crowded a year for video games.

A slew of high-quality AAA titles were released this year: The Darkness II, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Twisted Metal, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3, The Walking Dead, …
