The anti-hero is a literary character who, throughout the course of the story, takes on characteristics of both villain and hero. While...

    The Dreamcast had few flaws, but one of them was the choice to only use one analog stick.  This meant that third person action games released for the system relied on the sort of auto camera that plagued games of the N64 and Playstation 1 era.  Jet Set Radio (AKA Jet Grind Radio) was one...

    With the release of a new World of Warcraft expansion on the close horizon, some players are asking the question, will there ever be a sequel to World of Warcraft?

    Arakion looks very similar to Bastion, except it is rendered in 3D and has more traditional RPG elements (a party system, complex skills and character customization, and so on) that make it unique. The game itself is a story-driven first-person RPG that focuses on character customization and town building. However, it does differ from typical...

    I’ve touched on this before, in fact I reference it quite frequently. And I’m glad to see that a great deal of people feel the same way about it. The Tablet. There is just something fundamentally acceptable about the Tablet. It seems to slipped its way into many homes, even with a somewhat hefty price...

    There has been a paradox of sorts in the entertainment world over the past few years, as we’ve seen the once-burgeoning film industry begin to lose traction in the entertainment world to the likes of mediums such as gaming.
