    Video games are a unique medium. Generally, we like them for entertainment because they offer a special kind of immersion that can’t be emulated otherwise, the exception maybe being “choose your own adventure” books where the graphics are rendered in your mind. I got to thinking about this when I finally got my hands on...

    When the original PlayStation arrived in the mid nineties, it brought GRAPHICS FROM THE THIRD DIMENSION!  Game designers were mostly baffled by this mysterious new dimension, and many of the early PlayStation games used 3D character models that still behaved like they were in 2D worlds.  Then Lara Croft came along…She was an instant icon. ...

    There’s currently a rumor going around that the new PS4 will be called the Orbis, that several versions are currently in the hands of developers, and that the specs are not what we’ve all been expecting. While these rumors should be treated as just that—rumors—they are being confirmed by multiple sources, so it’s worth taking...

    The PlayStation 3 launched with backwards compatibility for PlayStation 2 games, but that feature was removed from later models.  This means that many classic PS2 exclusive games can only be played by loving hardware nerds who kept their old consoles running through the current console generation.  Because of this, those old games have gotten a...

    Plenty of shooters divide their development into two teams; one for the single-player campaign, and one for the multiplayer.  Sometimes this involves using two entirely separate engines as well.  This raises the question as to why developers don’t just release the single and multiplayer components of their games as two entirely separate products.  Devolver Digital...

    Well, its that time in the expansion again. Though MoP was packed with a ton of new content, some of which I have yet to experience, I have begun to level some of my other characters to 90. At first, I thought it would not be too bad; my first time leveling through MoP was...

    It’s barely a month since Resident Evil 6 was released. In the gaming community, it was hoped (somewhat against hope) that the game would resurrect the one-time iconic survival horror series. Purists of the games bemoaned that RE had lost its way after the third game, while many critics believed that the fourth outing struck the perfect cord between...
