    Grab Your Prominence Poker Beta Key Right Here!

    I've played a lot of online poker with a lot of different clients, and this one is a little less intuitive than most, but the style it portrays and ability to customize your character will certainly offer plenty of reasons for casual play. I don't see it beating out the WSOP app any time soon...

    This Extremely Rare Sonic Game Will Soon be Playable

    Well, it has to be a game that you can play in about two minutes, that a child that is young enough to be the target audience can complete reliably, while also having a control scheme simple enough that it can be handled by one or two buttons, and maybe a steering wheel. So, considering the...

    This Extremely Rare Sonic Game Will Soon be Playable

    That's because this isn't an arcade game in the way you're thinking. It's a kiddie ride, like those little cars you drop a few quarters in that pogo up and down for two minutes, that also has a little game of defeating Eggman.

    Bungie Defends The Taken King's $40 Price Tag

    Destiny is basically the only game I currently play on my console, I have the DLC Season pass and have put in upwards of two hundred hours into it, easily, even when the loot system was absolute garbage and PvP was unbalanced and almost unplayed and enjoyed all of it. I do draw the line at...

    Why Aren't There More Westerns?

    Red Dead Redemption has what I think of as the quintessential moment in all Western games, when you first arrive in Mexico and Far Away by Jose Gonzales starts playing. I happened to end up in Mexico just as the sun began to set, and riding along the dusty mountain trails toward the first town...

    "Offensive Material" Gets Nintendo's 3DS SwapNote SpotPass Shut Down

    Actually, Spotpass in Swapnotes was the only reason I kept my 3DS. 100% real talk. Sure, it wasn't the reason I bought it in the first place, but it became the most important feature to me. Losing it is, in fact, a very big deal to some people, and those people should not be discredited simply...

    "Offensive Material" Gets Nintendo's 3DS SwapNote SpotPass Shut Down

    Personally, I'm disappointed in the axing of Spot Pass entirely. Stricter content control, parental controls, anything would have been better than the straight death of the only useful feature the app had. This was a fun way for my artistically inclined friends and I to send each other little...

    Update: Fez Dev Tells Media Member To Kill Himself

    I'm going to start off by saying that a quote from Futurama being the main focus of the headline is a bit silly, in my honest opinion. The rest of what Fish is going on about is, of course, completely and utterly moronic. I just don't think that particular line should be what this article is...

    D&D the peasant railgun?

    So many serious DMs in here. The point of DMing is to make an epic adventure, but more so is to keep your players intrigued and engaged and having fun. I am always all for it when my players find a loophole of any sort to exploit to their benefit. It challenges me as a DM to find a way to patch...

    Escape to the Movies: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

    Seems to me like this movie has everything Bob mentioned in the Prince of Persia review that he expected out of the first good video game movie. Too bad it's based on a comic...
