    Predicting What's New on the Nostalgia Horizon - The PS1 Era

    One thing we've seen in the last couple years is the return of space shooters, with things like Evocron Mercenary and Sol Exodus, and more recent developments like Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky and Star Citizen. In the late 2000's all we had was the X series to represent the genre. With...

    Blizzard Addresses Overwatch Summer Games Controversy

    Hey folks, all those credits you EARNED or PURCHASED previously are no good. If you want new cool stuff give us more money! We've decided artificial scarcity is the way we're going to harpoon all those big juicy "whales."

    Poll: Sexism and your gender

    EVERYTHING is sexist to some degree in this modern media world. This is why Psycho Mantis went crazy. Sex, sexuality, sexist attitudes, homosexuality, gender roles, gender stereotypes, transgender issues... Sometimes it's enough to make you want to scream!

    Extra Punctuation: Mixing Single and Multiplayer

    I have friends. I want to play games with my friends. Deathmatch and free-for-all games are playing AGAINST my friends, not WITH them. I love story-driven co-op games! I wish there were more of them. System Shock 2 co-op was scary, intense, and a fun shared experience. Resident Evil 5 is...

    Extra Punctuation: How Yakuza 4 Grabs You

    I love it in games when you come back to a place you've been or completed a quest and find that it has changed, or talk to the characters and their dialogue reflects that time has passed. It seems like to few games do this. You often return to a place you left several in-game months ago and it...

    Extra Punctuation: Death in Videogames

    I like how in the game Sacrifice the story was being 'told' by your character. Whenever you died he would say, "But that's not what REALLY happened, let me start again..." as if he'd gotten off on a story-telling tangent.
