Pax East is always fun (because it is the one show kinda close to where I live). While it can get overpopulated and wait times can be insane, that is what REAL video game journalists are about. They have to fight and wait and clamor to play the demos so we geeks can know what […]

Some games you play and when you are done with them, you are done with them. And some games you play and layers of story reveal themselves over time and you realize that you NEED to play the game another time to properly process everything you just saw and did. Here are the top ten […]
Nintendo and indie are not two words you hear next to each other too often, so that alone should compel you to check this out. It shows us a very different side of Nintendo than we are used to (more raw, unpolished, ground level) and at the same time, shows us Nintendo is willing to […]

He slowly learned that, while actually developing a video game, that could not be further from the truth. He wrote about his experience for Kotaku and what he says will […]
Tekken was a colorful and wacky fight game. Between fighting bouts with Bruce Lee’s look-a-likes you would sometimes have to fight a tree or a panda bear. For real. But of all the characters who SHOULD’VE been weird, Heihachi was definitely one of the weirdest. Seriously, though, any guy who ties family members he is […]
