    When you look at the world of entertainment outside of gaming, there are many genres, but the most popular in film, television and literature always seems to just be basic, run-of-the-mill drama. Of course, it makes perfect sense when you figure that drama is easier for wide audiences to connect to. Day-to-day trials and tribulations...

    There has been a lot of talk about the demise of THQ in the past few weeks, a lot of finger-pointing and a lot of curiosity if we’ll see this expand beyond their company and if we’ll see other major publishers go the way of the Dodo bird. Without a doubt THQ isn’t the only...
