Metal Gear’s Solid Snake is getting old, and we all know it.
Not every game character has superhuman powers, infinite continues, or the ability to remain the same forever. Some age. Some have feelings. Some deal with conflict. Metal Gear …
I’m going to hit the rewind button back to roughly 15 years ago.
OK. We’re there. There I am, sitting in my room in front of my PlayStation and Nintendo 64. A magazine rests on my lap. It’s decorated with …

Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) games are special. Some say they’re boring — that they only consist of text-based experience. I disagree.
My experience with MUD games is much like my experience with books. You …
*Note: This turned out to be more of a review, but I highly recommend at least a trial with this one.
When you have extra Microsoft points, I highly suggest you spend them on unusual items. Well, they’re not unusual, …
I don’t get it. Why does Activision think that The Walking Dead needs a first-person shooter (FPS) adaptation?
We have zombie modes in Treyarch's Call of Duty games. They’re fun. They’re addictive. Yet, they’re the same every year.
Sure, this …
Boot up any current-generation title. As you begin to play, examine the screen.
Do you see a time limit? Of course not….
Sure, many younger players won’t know what the hell I’m talking about, but I am certain most others …
When you think of a oligopoly in video games, it’s a simple reference of EA’s Madden series. Not to say the publisher has bought out its competition, but it might as well have by cornering exclusive rights to the NFL license. …
Guys like Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston from AMC’s hit-show Breaking Bad deserve such initial praise for delivering unique “chemistry.” More so, they’ve both achieved Emmy awards; one for best TV actor; and more importantly, best supporting actor.
You see, …

I recently came across an issue of Nintendo Power from December 1998. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron graced the cover. Apparently, my mother was cleaning out the basement and recycling my old mags. A tear dripped down my left cheek. I …
The cute, pop-up sound of signing into Xbox Live (the same tone for unlocking Achievements) is gratifying.
It builds up your adrenaline — you're ready to play and compete online against real-life gamers.
And that's what I did.
I decided …
While many of you are battling to the death about the Battlefield-Modern-Warfare dilemma (and scrounging down at each others' throats), I sit here patiently and anticipate both monstrous titles.
And what better way to break down the upcoming Call of …
Author's note: First, this is way late and long overdue. Secondly, I know I have a huge head and messed up hair.
Let's see how well a high-schooler can write
I began writing a few FAQS here and …
It is nice to party once in awhile.
I, for one, am not a big drinker, but certain occasions tell me otherwise.
My friend from Florida came up to NY (who I haven't seen in nearly two years) and …
*Note: The Resident Evil Outbreak games did feature Co-op play, but this focuses on the MAIN and REAL Resident Evil games, OK?
Capcom, you remember that old mansion you indulged gamers into back in 1996? Sure, your actors sucked, but …
So I was at my rents' house the other day for a family get-together. More or less bored, I decided to stroll down to the basement and open many (I mean many) of my old retro-mags I have stashed neatly …
I will come right out and say it: the X series took the original 8-bit and made it ten times better.
Yeah, I will get some hate mail and what not from you original gang, but the first Mega …
Back when EGM and its sister mag Expert Gamer were around (thank heavens they're back) they had a little feature called "What If."
This consisted of random rants about all game characters and aspects into gaming, categorized with jokes …
#*@!- It’s only a game
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is such a useful tool into classifying what games are good and bad for children, or at least without a parent consultant. But have you ever notice on all …

I don't use the throwing knife that much in MW2, but maybe I should. In the first Modern Warfare, I enjoyed using the 3x Grenade perk and chuck them wherever (especially on that Ship level). With that gone, maybe we …
Remember the reigning excellence of classic games such as A link to the Past, Super Mario 3, and Sonic The Hedgehog? How about Tecmo Super Bowl, Street Fighter 2, Double Dragon, Final Fantasy 7? The original Super Mario Bros?
All …
The stimulus pack for Modern Warfare 2 has finally arrived to Xbox 360 owners. The majority of you ( I only assume) downloaded these new maps the first day they came out, while others ignored the fact that they had …
Although many people considered Zelda 2 as their least favorite in the series, mainly because the lack of the overhead view (and breaks away from classic Zelda tradition), I happen to like that. It was different, challenging, and it brought new …
Glad to hear we got some great DLC coming to LIVE soon. With the rerelease of the original Perfect Dark (which I still own the 64 version), a new Tecmo Superbowl Remake (yes!!), five new maps for Modern Warfare 2, and new …
