A videogame can teach you things. Not things like moves, or tactics, or any of the usual things you learn when you play a game. No, every once in a while, a game can do something special that... more
Or: AAA game companies have officially become batshit crazy. It's now well known Square Enix is disappointed with games that sell 3.5 million in 4 weeks, but we didn't know just how disappointed.... more
As any Nintendo fan knows, having a relationship with Nintendo can be really trying at times. Or often! It's like dating a super hot girl who knows she's super hot and thinks she can get away wit... more

I said in the introduction to this blog series that this is a topic I’ve been meaning to cover for a while. In the interest of candor, I feel like it’s worth mentioning what it was that final... more
A turning point in the history of videogames. A mind-blowing accomplishment. The best game ever made. These are the kind of phrases that people like to use when talking about Half-Life 2. Now hol... more
Or: 10 hours of my life I'll never get back. It seems my DSi just died. Lovely! Yesterday, I saved my Dragon Quest V game and went to bed. The clock stood at 09:44. So now I try to go back to it... more
I want you to, off the top of your head, list off every gay or bisexual character from video games that you are comfortable calling a hero. The stipulations are that this character must have an e... more

I am a man with the surname Hawke, a badass knife-wielding rogue. A sarcastic, aloof jerk with a heart of gold- more than willing to screw around with folks, but unable to tolerate injustice. ... more
Max Payne 3, as some of you may know, is set in São Paulo, Brazil's richest and biggest city. As a Brazilian myself, it was interesting to finally get to play a game set in my country. The target... more
Destructoid hasn't said a word about it yet, so I'll just throw it out here: WE'LL GET A NEW TORMENT GAME!!!!!! WE'LL GET A NEW TORMENT GAME!!!!!!! WE'LL GET A NEW TORMENT GAME!!!!!! Did I menti... more
Sorry about last post. Crap be whack, and I think I defined Rant well. Alright, time for something a little more light-hearted. It's time to talk about the value of repetitiveness. It seems ... more
