[I always considered Metal Gear Sold something of an action/suspense/horror game...and it looks like I'm not the only one! Sir Charles of Shred takes us through his childhood in having to face his fears through three key games he experience...

We’ve all been there. A game presents us with a moment or situation that fills us with dread.  It could be the inexorable approach of a supernatural menace or looking down from the top of an impossibly tall building. Games wil...

[Halloween is my favorite holiday, and October my favorite month. Let's kick this year's spooky festivities off right with an oldie but goodie from Nathan D exploring the excellent camera work from 2015's remake of Resident Evil. This is pa...

[Whomever started the whole trend of 'making learning fun' did the world a huge favor - just like Michael Giff has done in writing about everyone's favorite scarlet-clad rogue, Carmen Sandiego. If you make it through this whole blog without...

[I think for a lot of gamers my age, Final Fantasy VII was the game that really introduced us to RPGs. Cedi, on the other hand, cut his teeth on our dear friend Mario's papertastic adventures and learned to love the genre as a result. ...

[LaTerry straps on his dancing shoes, and gives us a peek into his evolution from a total stiff to a rhythm-obsessed fanatic! This stuff is pure, unadulterated fun. Resistance is futile. I see that head bobbing. Don’t stop shakin&rsqu...

[Believe it or not, I’m actually a full-time student myself. After growing old and lazy over the course of many years, I decided it was time for a change. Honestly, it was the smartest decision I’ve made in a long time. In a str...

Gather round boys and girls! School may be back in session, but you should still have a bit of time left to skirt your responsibilities and write some damn blogs! In the true spirit of the classroom, this month’s Bloggers Wanted promp...

[Kerrik52 embarked on a herculean effort to condense thirty-seven books' and ninety-four video games' worth of lore into an easy-to-read blog - all in an effort to give you, the plebeian soul you are, a basic knowledge of the Legacy of...

[Ricky Namara attempts to explain the overarching story of BlazBlue. Set aside some time, get your reading glasses, and rev up those Drive buttons. It's a long and sordid story about the Azure. ~Marcel] Ah, BlazBlue. Or "BraveBlue" if you'r...

This month's bloggers wanted prompt is something we stole. You see, by stealing this idea, you have no idea how truly inept I actually am. By pretending to know what I'm doing, I have clearly used my ill-gotten status to meet such big-time ...

I am a man in love. With metal. Show me an album with extravagant lyrics, majestic singing, and properly tuned instrumentation and I'll be a happy camper for a good spell. But this love has gone under-served in the world of video games. We ...

It feels like it's been a decade since we've seen the rise of the crowdfunded game. I'm always surprised when I remind myself that crowdfunding has been a thing long before the first crowdfunded video game, but nowadays a crowdfunded gam...
