If there’s anything that can be said about video games over the years is that we can get attached to the coolest or the strangest characters at times. While there are plenty of awesome male characters out there, here’s what I consider my top 5 female lineup of sheer bad-assery from the first...
Over the years, there have been a good many video games that featured female characters of note. Some were protagonists, others were antagonists while others fell somewhere in between on the spectrum. Different characters resonate with us for different reasons, and some are more memorable...
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes In my experience, if you ask just about any serious sim racer how they got started, you’ll typically find they’ll be glad to relate the story behind what it was that got them strapped into the world of virtual racing. For me, it was a friend that had...
Estimated reading time: 7 minutes Nintendo is a name that just about everyone knows. Known in the home for its NES, SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii it is also very well known for the its GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, the DS, and the 3DS for on the go gaming. Not all of its products have been...
We all like lists - top five or top ten on a variety of topics. Well, we have a new one to share. Selling this list is going to be a difficult job. Compiling it wasn't exactly a cinch, either. One should never give a graphic designer the job of compiling a top 10, or 50, of movie posters, game...
Admittedly, I have never been a big Pokémon player. I have many of the games bouncing around, but more often than not it has been my kids who play them over and over again. Still, at their core I can see what makes them so much fun, and even though my experience with them is limited, I can...
We have had a couple of the team members give their take on game mechanics that probably seemed like a good idea to someone at the time - but in execution they just sucked. There are a lot of them out there, and like everything video game related, these are subjective. We won't all agree that...
What are your least favorite mechanics in a video game? We all have certain things that just rub us the wrong way - grind our gears so to speak (heck, for some people - grinding of levels in JRPGs is maddening). Yesterday PY shared his thoughts on the matter, and today we have Hamza's top five...
Hamza and I (editor's note: and Nick chimed in as well) are at it again. Talking one day about what we hate or dislike, to not be overly negative about it, we thought of putting together a list of things that we really don’t like in video games. Not all games get everything right - in fact...
I admit that I have long been interested in Virtual Reality, but in truth I tend to get overly curious about all of the new and shiny objects that come out for video games. Dating back to my first console, the TI99/4a, I remember my fascination with the Speech Synthesizer. That little attachment...
