It’s easy to recommend the classic PlayStation Resident Evil over Resident Evil 6, but how difficult is it to convince someone to play the original X-Com?
Welcome to the gaming school of policing. For all you fine officers out there, here's some advice for recapturing those pesky criminals.
Nintendo has made some fantastic systems and games that truly show what those consoles are capable of, but that's rarely the case for other developers. Is it time for Nintendo to end its long history of hardware development?
As you may or may not have seen last Friday, the Spike TV Video Game Awards just celebrated its 10th anniversary. The show has endured more than its share of criticism, and by the time you read this, I guarantee …
I’m probably a little late here.
The PlayStation Portable was released over seven years ago here in the US, the Vita is coming up on its first anniversary, and here I am sitting in my chair and playing the original …
You could say I’m a bit perturbed. After watching one of the most recent videos from the team at Extra Credits (this one, which I wholly recommend watching), I’m beginning to worry to about the lack of preservation in our …
Now that the internet's tirade on journalistic integrity is (hopefully) over, I figured it’s about time for me to chime in. And what, you may ask, is so different about my opinion? Well, I agree with this guy — partially.…
As the good little boy that I was (and still am), I never experimented with drugs. I respect my health –not to mention the law — far too much to ever allow myself to attempt them. Yet the stories of …
Apparently, a few of my tips from last time didn’t work out so well. Something about readers being sent to prison, hoping that I die in a fire, and some nonsense about "dropping the soap" or whatever. On the positive side, I’ve received …
As a (nearly) obsessive gamer and rather unsociable person, I can’t say I have very much experience with romance. I’ve tried making a move once or twice, but for some reason girls just aren’t interested when I ask them if …
As I was sitting in my office chair, playing an indie game while simultaneously mulling over different topics to write about for the latest Bitmob Wants You, my mind began drifting to motorcycles. I pushed them out at first, claiming …
It has been over a year since Duke Nukem Forever finally came out, but I only just recently managed to sit down and play through the entire demo without trying to jump out a window…more than three times. During the …
A few weeks ago, I was watching a video of Spec Ops: The Line, and as I was reading the comments, something struck me. Not many games have Americans as the enemy. Oh sure, maybe if you’re the villain, or …
If you grew up (or raised a child) any time between the 1970s and early 2000s, chances are you’ve played an educational video game. Whether it was one of the many Carmen Sandiego titles or a classic like The Oregon Trail, …
I’m concerned about Nintendo’s Wii U; not because I think it won't be fun, but because I’m not sure if it will do well.
I’ve always been a Nintendo fanboy. Ever since I first played my brother’s NES – Super …
You know, until today, I never really thought about videogame soundtracks. Sure, they can add a little extra ambiance, but I’ve never thought about how a soundtrack can improve my gaming experience.
Then, just like my last Bitmob Wants You/Bitmob …
I’m tired of the need for more “realism” in games. I don’t want to hear about how realistic Call of Duty is while you’re cowering behind cover watching the red Kool-Aid disappear from your screen. I don’t care if Battlefield …
When I saw the Bitmob Writing Challenge for this month, I didn’t give it a second thought. After all, I don’t have a game that I’m trying to promote, and I’ve never been to a gaming convention in my life. …
Any successful formula will be copied. This isn’t a theory. It’s a fact. It’s not easy coming up with unique ideas, and it takes a lot less work to modify an existing one. “Improving” (a term which I use loosely) …
We’ve all seen them — xXx1337SN!P3RxXx, ysosrsface, SilentAssassin69, and other horrible usernames. It seems like they’re everywhere nowadays (kind of like the cursing 12-year-olds in Call of Duty multiplayer), and we can't do a whole lot about that.
We can, …
Dark Souls, N, and Contra — What do these games have in common? If you said difficulty, you’d be wrong. Congrats to anyone who said challenge; I think you know where I’m going with this.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary …
I can’t decide whether to despise MLG (Major League Gaming, in case you can’t read that massive banner) for trying to turn my favorite hobby into a contest, or passionately support their cause to bring …
4J Studios ruined Minecraft.
Well, maybe that’s a bit too harsh. What I mean to say is that the developer ruined the feel of Minecraft. Sure, it still has the same gameplay, music, and graphics, but it doesn’t have
…
