I think this is a topic that not many of us actually think about, for the reasons explained in the video. As someone who doesn’t really want to support the gun industry, this does make me think about my interest in games like Battlefield 4 and about where my money has gone when I bought …

For video games that seem to be getting more and more detailed as the years go by, a lot of artists seem to take the minimalist approach when depicting them in their fan art. For example, take this art by DeviantArtist Emily Lemay, also known as yamelme. She has several video game character silhouettes where …

Last week I talked about how games could still try new things in space and one of those ideas is what I called Spacefield, a game that takes the Battlefield into the far future, focusing on the idea of how a realistic shooter like Battlefield could do space combat. To recap, I would love …

After finally learning how to actually play Endless Space, I’ve been having a ton of fun with it as my first real civilization game. I’ve always been fascinated with space, whether it be the giant epic battles seen in the like of Star Wars, or just exploring the unknown depths of the universe. Likewise, games …

How did we know about Battlefield 4 and how the beta was being released with Medal of Honor Warfighter? A team of super secret covert ops…or maybe just Freddie and his friend. Also, EA has some pretty well-equipped security. Maybe they should have spent that money on their PR guys.

The Wii U is impressive. I feel bad for anyone who lacks the vision of what the Wii U has the potential to do and what E3 showed off it can do. I don’t mean to offend, but as an aspiring game designer, the more tools the Big 3 give us to play with, the …

First off I need to say this right now, this video is so pretentious and snobby. Not so much for speaker’s opinions, but just in really the way he presents them. This is probably a good point to examine the rift in video games between narratologists and ludologists. You might know them by other names, …

I got to say, I never understood why the modern big team gameplay setup used in games like Battlefield was never used for games set in Medieval times. Okay, that’s probably not true, since I’m pretty sure Lord of the Rings had a Star Wars Battlefront type of game (which actually meant a Battlefield type …

Well, it seems like months ago, perfecting a headshot actually was the ultimate aspiration for all hardcore gamers. If you could lay prone in an inconspicuous, shaded area and was able to get the game-winning kill from clear across the map, who the hell would dare to oppose that player, let alone stay in the same …

Hey y’all…first off, sorry for missing the normal time that a weekly update happens. Turns out, staying up til one working on an article that will probably never see the light of day when you have class the next morning is probably not the best policy. But if only everyone knew. Before I get …

There’s something very unsettling about the Modern Warfare series. The original game opened with the SAS unceremoniously executing guards while they slept in their bunk beds. From there it went on to kill you and your entire squad in a game that, for the most part, portrayed warfare as a costly, futile and bloodthirsty endeavor. …

Don’t know what to say really other than this was made by Freddie Wong and is making me really want to play some more Battlefield 3.

Why “gamers” can go fuck themselves. I recently attended a midnight release, my first one EVER. I know, I know. I’m a gamer. Writing on a gaming opinion site. It’s not that I never wanted to attend, just that some circumstances never allowed me to go. However, in all honesty… Midnight releases are not …
