    The Girl Who Died

    This article makes you think doesn't it? Then again most games with perma-death elements do. We will go out of our way, to ridiculous lengths in some cases, to save a character from the white light at the end of the tunnel. Yet these characters are only bits of code... Why do we do it? Why...

    Ender's Game Trailer is Finally Here

    It may just be the fact that I loved the Ender books so very much growing up, but I really want to see this do well. The original war video footage that Ender spent hours pouring over in the book at the start of the trailer looks great from my point of view, however it and the drama/action music...

    What makes Origin so terrible?

    I, for one simply hate hypocrites. John Riccitiello (CEO of EA) stated once during a press conference that the 60 dollar price point on games is too high and that it would have to change within 4 years if the industry was to survive the economic downturn. Now we have Origin where EA controls the...

    Fragrance Company Aims to Capture the Scent of Videogames

    This is what I thought of when I read the title. The combination for Mega Man sounds alright, I suppose, probably smells better then most colognes and body sprays out on the market. Look on the bright side it might make convention halls smell better. They should make one that captures a...

    Heavy Rain Creator Shows Off New Game Engine With Short Film

    I don't care what anyone says, QD's stuff has always blown me away. Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit, was ahead of it's time and my group of friends played it together till we saw all the ways the story could play out. When the casting demo was released we were practically giddy. When Heavy Rain...

    15-year old Stabs Bully 11 Times at Bus Stop, Gets Away With It

    As someone who has been the victim of bullies from early elementary school till late middle school I can see where many might be on the side of Jorge. I was a bit of a wuss until my older cousin gave me the book Ender's Game for my birthday one fateful year, hoping I would take away the message...

    "Classic" Literature that you hated?

    For me? Lord Of The Flies. Small children, whose parents didn't care enough to raise them and just shipped them off to a boarding school, have the potential to be primitive evil murderous little sh*ts you say? As a long time glorified babysitter I have to wonder if anyone was surprised to find...

    E3: NeverDead

    Stubbs was, and in some ways still is a very good game. I'm curious to see more on this title just because the review made me think of one of my favorite last-gen funny games. I, for one, didn't mind Too Human's controls. It took some getting used to, but once you got it down combat flowed...
