Remember all those good times playing Galaga? First game of Frogger? That first playthrough of Final Fantasy 7? So do game devs, and they're going to get you to spend money on those memories. Now, the instant reaction for most people wh...

Everyone knows and wants to know that Pokemon is 100% REAL LIFE. People like President Barack Obama and Mayor Mike Haggar were famously know as Pokemon masters before they headed off into their political careers. But, that's a story for ...

I’m back in the real world now. While that sucks, I still have the memories of the amazing times I had at PAX East in Boston this year. I figured the best thing I could do is share some of the awesome times I had, much like NikMonroe di...

Today, the name “Resident Evil” can only be associated with a modern brand of derivative military shooters. This is true regarding the main entries of the series – that slowly, but consistently, shed their adventure legacy in favor of fas...

(Disclaimer: wrote this because I was really bored, I allready feel sorry if you read this) Not interactive and linear: a movie...duh, also Heavy Rain, because the final plottwist will allways be the same Interactivity has been reduced to ...

I see comments of the week. Walking around like regular comments. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're comments of the week. From Ubisoft complains over Red Steel 2's 81% Metacritic...

Virtual skill is a concept made popular by role playing games. Not the video game genre; I'm talking about the RPGs of the pencil and paper variety. A player has a character, that character has skills. These skills may or may not (mostly no...

I still remember opening my first modern computer game. We had just gotten a new Packard Bell (the dude at Staples had assured us we'd never need more than 2mb of video ram in our lives) and the next day my dad let me pick out a game at th...

It's been a long time since I've written a blog - these days I find it difficult to express my thoughts coherently. I used to write blogs all the time back on Gamespot, I'm not sure why it's been so difficult for me to do so these days... ...

Anyway, if there's one thing I can't swallow it's these two tired, broken record statements; "it was just more of the same", and "it didn't feel like the first time". I've seen them time and time again and they are as monotonous as they a...

Although mobile phones have helped greatly in knowing who is calling you (e.g. via cell phone look up), there has been a rise in the number of 'Unknown Caller' calls being made to mobile phones and it is only natural that this becomes an an...

Hello everyone. Again, I'm here. I didn't actually go anywhere. This thing that the cool kids are doing nowadays called "school" is really consuming my life. Not like the dark side though. Because at least they give you cookies. At school, ...

I walk in the door and exchange hi's and hellos with the two behind the counter. "Got any trade-ins today, Alex?". Yes, they know me by name. "Nah...I'm just looking for now." Of course I have trade-ins. I plop the 4 games on the counter. ...

NOTE: Long story short: I don't have Photoshop right now. Hopefully my stand-ins work alright :) This is what you've all been waiting for: the death knell for reviews full of dirty bias, horrendous unobjectivity and antiquated "opinions"...

Death is often an integral element within gaming, in fact that almost every ‘AAA’ title requires killing and the avoidance of being killed within the formal elements of the game. How games deal with death varies heavily, in the most common ...

Or rather VG247 has all of us covered thanks to a document leak from GAME, a very tasty one if i may add, but enough talk here's the highlights: * Band Hero 2 - October * Brink - September * Call of Duty 7 - October * Crysis 2 - September ...

So…who’s betting that Sakura Wars: So Long My Love will ACTUALLY come out next week, no more delays, for reals? Anyone…? Well, anyways, I’ll keep my fingers crossed (again) and offer up this week’s obscure gaming recap: --------- Atte...

This will work with any game. It's already been proven it even works with tetris. Here is the basic form: I'm only, like, an hour in. But (game name here) is SO relentlessly terrible. A game has never worn me down like this. There's no r...

So... free gas. No, I'm not going to lend you my husband who also has free gas, but I've been playing MAG (apparently over 180 hours of it since it released) and I just vetted over to a new faction and I'm starting again as a level 1... ...

The new trailer for The Secret World, as seen by attendees at the GDC this month, is finally public. Rock, Paper, Shotgun also published Project leader Ragnar Tornquist's thoughts on the trailer. It seems Tornquist both mind-read my frustr...

Not long ago a certain blog teased the promise of an absolute, incontestable review of sequels. Drawn in by this succulent promise I read the blog hoping to find the ultimate critique. What did I get for my efforts? Nothing! Well a solid ...

So here's the deal, Apparently the old paradigms don't apply any more. We as a sub-culture have not only taken back the word 'nerd,' but have now turned it back on our once oppressive 'social superiors' of old. According to a press release...

This is inspired by Anthony Burch's recent "rant." I'm playing SMT: Strange Journey right now and to get myself ready I had kicked off a new game of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne on my PS2. While series spin-off Persona is no slouch in chal...
