(Read This In Bane Movie Accent) ” Well, I see we meet again. I wanted to (indecipherable) about some video games I have been featured in, and I think it wise of you all to take a moment to partake in the following list. It shows the myriad of ways I have been represented (indecipherable) video games […]
I don’t care what anyone says, it may have had its small problems but I still think Shadow of Mordor is one of the better open-world games out there, and the Nemesis system in the game makes taking down enemies feel extremely gratifying (I was NOT paid to say that). For those reasons alone you […]
I have nothing to say here except if ANY OF YOU DO THIS, it will only get bigger and more predominant. Shun such packages and ‘games’ and let’s send a very clear message that we are people and not walking dollar signs. This crap aint’ right. Via
There are few things that hurt a gamer as much as when some sick looking new game gets announced and we get all hyped for it over the years and then we get the news: That game is never coming out. There can be many reasons that games get canceled, but it makes the news […]
Here is the thing about final bosses in all fighting games: They cheese. They really do. They spam you with cheese moves into the corner then they beat you relentlessly. This has been common in fighting games since their inception. But which fighting games have the cheesiest, toughest (natch, almost unbeatable) final bosses? This list […]
We gamers are an easy lot to judge, yet no one seems to judge us accurately. We are sometimes mocked in pop culture as geeks, yet video games are making more than Hollywood movies now, so clearly it is not just “geeks” who game. Everyone from little girls to single dads game, with every demographic […]
Nothing sucks you out of an immersive game experience quite like bad A.I, especially in NPCs. Think Sheva in Resident Evil 5 for a great example. You are trying run from a boss, and she is standing next to it, running in place at a wall, making her an easy kill. Even just keeping her […]
Over the last decade, indie games have really found their stride. Whereas once they seemed small and thrown together, those times have changed. Now there are games like Limbo, Journey, Bastion, Flow, Gone Home, and more that have thought outside the box and changed just what indie gaming means to people. For that reason, I […]
Thanks to series like Dark Souls and the growth in the popularity of roguelike games, it seems video games are getting harder and harder to beat. The end result of this for many gamers can end up being the infamous “controller-toss-ragequit” which many gamers can admit they have done at least a few times in […]
One of the most common questions I get asked about having a weekly D&D group is how to start it in the first place. Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer to that. But what some people fail to see, I think, is that even when you have a group it doesn’t mean instant success. Once you’ve […]
You would think by the 8th generation of gaming we would be past the “hit the glowing spot for maximum damage” hand-holding of boss fights, alas, here we are and gaming is still holding our hands. From glowing spots to quick time event (QTE,) here are 15 boss fights tropes that aren’t going away anytime […]
Glitches in a video game can be a laugh riot when they do not affect gameplay. If suddenly, a character is giant or a car is spinning 400 times in the air from getting barely bumped, that can be pretty damn funny. And with the increase in hardware specs and game demands lately, it seems […]
