The ways in which we interact with the virtual worlds of videogaming are incredibly important, despite the fact that a proper player:game interface recedes into the background. The best controller is one you can forget about because it fits perfectly into your grip and has ergonomically-placed and responsive buttons. With the WiiU just around the corner and its promise to revolutionize the player...

Looks like Sony will need to put more effort into the PlayStation 4, cause the PlayStation 3 has seen its final blow by hackers. Information has been leaked, forcing the group responsible for the hack to publish their findings publicly, to avoid profits being made off of their efforts. The LV0 master keys, that are manufactured directly in the PS3 itself, have been discovered. These keys are t...

We are about a month away from the official release of the Wii U, and we are just now starting to see some commercials popping up. Seems one of the first TV commercials debuted in the UK. I don't know if this kind of cheesy type of commercial is normal for ads in the UK, but it is almost humorous to watch. We get a big taste of someone using the new gamepad controller with screen. It also sho...

Way back in 1999, I got my first real taste of what Dungeons & Dragons was supposed to be like. Despite the fact that I had been playing the tabletop RPG (or some conglomeration of D&D mythology slapped onto another game, like HeroQuest) since 1991, the overwhelming rules system an...

Back in Junior High, Chris and I used to draw disturbing representations of our favorite DragonLance characters all over our English class folders. Had "Pokemon" existed at the time, we might have instead drawn something similar to this:

Halo 4 is just around the corner, and XBox has released a new longer trailer to entice you to buy the game on the November 6th release date. But it isn't any normal trailer, it is more like a movie trailer. And in fact, was produced by David Fincher, known for countless movies like Fight Club, Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and many more. This trailer is pretty amazing, using...

While the 7th Generation isn’t quite over, I feel pretty confident that there will be no huge surprise announcements of sequels to games from older generations. As the new ‘XCOM’ game has shown us, there is still interest in

Okay, let's just gloss over the final score of this particular game and focus on what's important: the freaking amazing half-time show the marching band put on. For many people it may have been a revelations that "Huh, video games have music - and it's pretty good."

For people who have grown up with video games (myself included) it was just pure fun. You get everything from Tetris to Mario to...

Welcome to another look into the near future. October is traditionally the month that game publishers start ramping up their release schedules in order to completely glut the market by the time the Christmas shopping season comes around. By starting two months ahead of time, it’s possible to get so many new games on the shelves as to form a completely impenetrable wall of confusion for parents ...

Resident Evil 6 just released this week, and once again, an outbreak of the dreaded virus is turning humans into parasitic zombie-like creatures. But this time, it appears these zombies have a new flesh-eating fetish, and it happens to be on a giraffe. The virus outbreaks in North America, Eastern Europe and China. None of which is native to the giraffe as far as I know. So apparently there w...
