I am a big sports fan. Sports and video games (oddly, not sports games) take up a ton of my free time. Lately, ESPN has been running with this idea of a Mt. Rushmore of sports – basically, the fo... more

Be it video games, sports, music or ye olde boring news articles, journalism is my passion. I've done quite a bit of quasi-professional writing and hope to remove the quasi part some time soon.... more
So I was playing the demo for God of War III and I just don't get it. I mean, we want more than just GoW II with better graphics and on a larger scale. I mean Kratos can't even jump and attack? W... more
I really hope people will not take this as fanboyism or flaming - especially concerning the whole "anti-Wii bias" brouhaha - but I am seriously considering trading my Wii and all it's games (a do... more

With the massive success (60,000 online sales and counting) of Megman 9, it is clear there is a market for old school platforming reminiscent of our gaming days of yore. A past favorite of many G... more

As Rev. Anthony said in the explanation for this month's theme, replay value is something developers tout (mostly) to move product. "Game X has Y hours of gameplay! Buy now!" The sad truth is in... more
I have never played a MGS game, save for like 1/2 hour of Snake Eater. I just bought Sons of Liberty and borrowed MGS to add to that unplayed Snake Eater. So I ask: should I play them in chronol... more
IGN has a new video showing a level walk through for the upcoming 3rd person survival horror title. It has very minor spoilers, so those who want to go in knowing nothing, stay away. Between ... more
