I don't care. Really. If you mistake this message from as somehow caring about how much I don't care, then you're wrong. Wrongwrongwrongwrongwrong. I'm right. You're wrong. I am the stereotypical videogamer who always gets the last word. Word

Kotaku – “The Vita Is A Great System — Too Bad Sony Screwed It Up”

Kotaku did a piece a few days ago that I just absolutely love. It’s about how the PS Vita is great hardware, but doesn’t fill the purpose its being marketed as. I’ve said much the same since November of last year, except I wasn’t infatuated with the hardware either. In fact, I wasn’t impressed with …

Play This Episode 1 Part 1 Play This Episode 1 Part 2 Erik and I decided to create a little discussion on videogame content and media that we feel deserve a little more recognition in the community. Things like game mods, indie games, iOS games, poorly rated video games will be top priority on our …

I know this is usually Erik’s thing, but he’s busy being super lazy at the Dark Knight Rises showing tonight. So, I’ll be doing this Friday’s Speculation. So I’m going to just jump right into the tank.   Editor’s Note: It was so worth it!   Ever play an RTS and think that it’s too …

Machinima: How Mass Effect 3 Should Have Ended

howmasseffectshouldhaveedned

I’m a huge fan of Mass Effect 3. So to hear other people who’re also huge fans say that the ending sucked pissed me so much. I’ve invested hundred of hours playing and replaying all 3 games and continuing them through to the next phase of Shepard’s adventure. This video gives me mixed feelings. On …

I found this to be completely true and it has applied to my whole life, though I’ve never realized it until now. If you missed the humor, it’s pretty much saying that videogames are sometimes a complete contradiction to real life. Not that this is a bad thing, but it’s pretty interesting to see how the …

Ouya: An Experimental Mess

I was browsing the web a week ago and saw an article with this quirky little machine in it called the Ouya. I was immediately unimpressed. A machine for $99 with pretty low-end specs based on the concept that “everything is free?” I immediately hated this expensive coaster. Who would develop anything meaningful for this? …

Endless Space – It’s Great, Even in the Alpha

Endless Space.   It’s a  great game, despite being developed as a full release title by a French indie developer. I recently bought it off of steam, and to my surprise, what I thought it was, and what its shaping up to be are completely different. What I thought it would be like is a …

So a ton of things have really discouraged me lately and writing about a once beloved form of electronic entertainment has now become… hard to do. But, there is one thing that I have to say. One thing that has given me that ray of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy period in my gaming addiction. …

My first game ever was Super Mario Bros. for NES. I know that’s where a lot of gamer’s obsessions begin, but I never really owned or cared about gaming until I was a little older. Pokemon Yellow for the GBC was the first game I had ever owned and had played over and over again. …

Silly Destructoid, Mass Effect 3 DLC Doesn’t Cost $870

Categories:

Articles, Culture, Other Site Articles

by

My name is Commander Shepard, and you're my favorite customer on the Citadel!

I came across an article on Destructoid, named “It will cost you around $870 to get Mass Effect 3’s DLC.” Being a quite enthusiastic about Mass Effect’s release next Tuesday, I immediately became frantic about this news. After reading a bit, I immediately labeled this article as complete and total bullshit for one reason. That …

The first real party game that I can remember had to have been Mario Party. It was a great game, filled with tons of mini-games to play and the ability to support up to 4 players in a virtual board game world. Players had to circle the map and get stars and coins to out …

Handoff: Multiplayer Additions at the Expense of Single-Player

WrexMotiv3

It’s no small wonder that multiplayer is a huge part of a gaming experience. Just look at Halo, Street Fighter, or Uncharted. Ever since the creation of an online gaming experience, competition has been fierce and co-operative play has been placed a seat above a single player experience. When you get right down to it, …

So everyone know the New York Giants won the Super Bowl, right? Well, looks like 1UP knew first with a video they posted 3 days ago where the Giants won a bloody battle with the Patriots… Of Skyrim.   Skyrim has now reached the status of a legitimate deity worthy of being prayed to.

Well, folks. It’s the last year of our lives. From this day, we have approximately 1 year before the world as we know it ends and the great void beyond 2012 begins. I’m just kidding. Anybody who believes that is completely off. One thing that is pretty cataclysmal, however, is the economy. And even more …

You're dumb

Has anybody else noticed the flood of “anti-(controversial subject) found in “insert game title” articles being written lately? I have. And to be quite frank, I’m growing absolutely tired of it. First of all, I understand that video games are apart of culture, but they’re also, more often than not, fictional environments and situations intended …
