A Lesson in Loyalty
I like to think I’m a very loyal person. This can be seen as a good quality in a person because it means you can be trusted. This can also be exploited in a person because the person or entity who has you by the balls can squeeze every ounce from you until there really

A Battlefield Life
For me the year was 2002, I was in my dorm room, away from my hometown for the first time. I had read on a message board or saw on IGN about a new game called Battlefield 1942 in which you could get in tanks, planes, or boats. If you didn’t want to go about

Why Did it Take so Damn Long?!
So, a bunch of little things happened in the time from Archon and Arkanoid and it involved some modern console gaming. Playing through Battlefield, Splinter Cell, a shit ton of Red Dead Redemption…twice, Just Cause 2, Dead Space and the Steam Sale going on now, I just got completely side tracked. I’m sorry, forgive me :C

We’re All Assholes!
What defines the word “gamer”? A quick Google search brings up many definitions of the term such as; “those who spend much of their leisure time playing…different games.” or “One who plays a game, especially a role-playing or computer game.” Usually I won’t care about this connotation so much because I have been playing games

Cross Section: The Conduit
While crawling through forums and gaming websites, I always come upon the game that Wii proponents are messing themselves vigorously over: The Conduit.

Am I A Gamer If…
…I always choose a girl character to play? When I first started up Resident Evil 5 I was rather disappointed that, from the get go, I was unable to select Sheva [my new video game crush] to play as. Instead I had to pick stinky Chris Redfield and be unhappy. Luckily that changed when I

As I was browsing the daily news content around the world of video game journalism, I came upon a certain article written by Brian Langlois on the Kombo website about “Simpler Times in Gaming” and how the effects of making consoles, games and all of the components that make up the industry have had a

Am I A Gamer If…
Ever since I first started gaming, I remember always setting it to the easiest difficulty during my first run. I’ve always felt ashamed by this because it tends to make me feel like I ruined the experience I was suppose to have with the game. There are plenty of reasons why I choose to go

Where Is The Love?
Last week, the game world’s greatest fighting franchise added another notch under its belt with the release of Street Fighter IV. I’m a little bit biased when it comes to this game as I’ve been playing it since I was a wee lad back in the early 90s. Going to arcades just to beat and

Wii, You Motherfucker You!
Oh wow, like many gamers this generation of consoles [if you’re counting at home, this is the seventh generation of home consoles] hasn’t heard this topic before. What’s sad about it though is that if many of the once loyal Nintendo fans are jumping ship this generation, where is that going to leave the Big
