Last night I threw up a cblog about how my 360 and Wii were stolen. The response from the community was ten times as heartening as I thought it would be. As of writing, there are 40 faps and twenty-something comments -- all of which were he...

Hey. I am going to be brief here as time is of the essence. But my 360/Wii were stolen. The fool has signed into XBL and is on right now. He changed my gamertag from Count Gr1shnack (I may be on some Dtoider lists from some FNFs) to Killa E...

Not too long ago, I was a huge Magic: The Gathering player. I frequented weekly tournaments, worked a job selling the cards/hosting tournaments in our store, reading sites about the game and generally obsessing about it. I wasn't a harden...

I am in your films, makin you angry. So the internets have been ablaze with the news that the beloved PS2 title Shadow of the Colossus will be adapted to the big screen. This news has angered fans of the game beyond belief. Some commentat...

So week two of the Dtoid comment of the week proved much harder than week one. First off, I only found one comment I thought was clever/funny during the week (hence this being on Sunday instead of Friday) so I had to dig through and find ...

That is all.

I have never played a game in the Star Ocean series. Depending on your viewpoint, that will either validate or invalidate everything you're about to read. That said, I've recently played Lost Odyssey and some of Mass Effect, I love Square...

An underrated part of the Dtoid community is the wealth of hilarious comments users post. This is my way of highlighting those and giving back to the community. These are comments I find clever, witty, funny, pithy and various other synonym...

So many other blogs do the whole comment of the week thing and I figured, "Hey, I have a ton of time and read Dtoid all day anyway, why don't I do it?" So I'm going to. The first one is slated for Friday, with comments from yesterday to th...

Both... ...can cause you to break things ...are better with friends ...can sometimes get to ridiculous levels of competition ...are expensive habits ...have good relationships with junk food ...make certain types of people cry ...mak...

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 four most influential faces of sports. I thin...

So the Halo Wars demo hit today with very little fanfare. I had no idea it was even dropping until turning on my 360 today. So, how does this console RTS play? The RTS may never be right on the console, and it seems as though Halo Wars ...

Copy/pasta alert! But these are too great not to be posted. Now who wants to put together essays about these games like 33-1/3 with me?

10. I like to write about a ton of shit. 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. I wr...

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? What the fuck?!?! This series has totally lost...

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 dozen or so) in and buying a PS3. A few days a...

Surplusgamer's monthly musings about his experiences playing Left 4 Dead on Xbox and the overall impression people have about 360 gamers got me thinking. "I've never (rarely) had bad experiences playing on Live. I don't get what everyone is...

Whether an isolated incident or not, some employers are not hiring gamers who play WoW or other MMOs, citing lack of focus and erratic sleeping patterns. From the article: "He replied that employers specifically instruct him not to send th...

As they are in what can be described as the infancy stage, game reviews - and the "best" way to write them - still have a way to go when compared to film, book and even television reviews. Being a quasi-professional game reviewer and avid...

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 Gameboy owners, the newest chapter in the Wari...

Once I read the topic for this month's Musings I knew the entries would fall into two camps: 1) blogs with a purpose - ones that attempt to deride fanboyism, hack features in games, excessive sequels, basically entries aimed at bettering ...

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 the day and age of multiple consoles, an ava...

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 chronological order (Snake Eater, SoL, MGS I think) ...

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 this and "strategic dismemberment" this is th...

Grand Theft Auto IV may very well be the greatest game ever. I have never been a fan of the GTA series, but judging from reviews, it seems pretty damn amazing. But this amazing? What follows are some (ridiculous) blurbs from reviews about ...

I am headed to NYC for this years ComicCon as a pseudo member of the press! Writing for thatvideogameblog.com about the gaming happenings this year. GoW2 is the highlight for me, but the hands on with Civilization for the 360 should be pret...

In the most recent issue of generally awesome music/entertainment mag, the Boston Phoneix, they reviewed Smash Bros. Brawl. Now they're not known for their game reviews, but I was intrigued nonetheless. 1.5 out of 4? The print version ha...

This is only for journalism dorks, but some journalists have written a pretty comprehensive style book for gaming lingo. At 100+ pages, it's a long read. But things like videogames (one word, even though I think that's dumb. Boardgames isn...

As an aspiring journalist (hopefully in the gaming world) game reviews are something that I have a vested interest in. The problem that arises with critiquing any entertainment medium is genre must be taken into consideration, and often is ...
