The Saints Row franchise has never really been known for its subtlety. From pimp canes and samurai swords, to dildo bats and mollusk launchers, the Saints Row series has introduced us to ever increasing cast of bat-shit-crazy weapons, characters and story-lines. In this regard, Saints Row IV doesn’t disappoint. In fact, it rather makes the…
It’s been a rather sad time for those of us who are consistently big on playing games to revitalize our childhoods. Recently, Disney announced that it would be closing up shop of probably one of the most charming MMOs out there: Toontown Online. Sure, it’s definitely a kid’s game, but just look at it objectively!…
It’s probably not that much of a spoiler at this point to say that I like online multiplayer. I may only be average at online gaming (you guessed that from the title, right?) but I still enjoy it nonetheless, even when it’s at it’s most headbangingly annoying. Which is quite a lot of the time…
As it turns out, playing 40 hours of Starcraft is good for the brain. It is about time science finally caught up with what I’ve been telling my parents for twenty years. Star Craft= Brain Food The recent study compared groups of people who played The Sims, an easy version of StarCraft, and a difficult…
They’re intimately familiar questions to most of us: do violent games cause real-world violence? Are video games linked to behavioral problems? Is gaming harmful to children? And last, but certainly not least: should violent games be regulated, censored, or banned? These questions all culminate in another, far more pressing question: what’s all this jazz really about?…

Players will be treated to new areas, class content, and villains. If there was ever a reason to boot your Diablo 3 back up,…
Wildstar is a spectacular up and comer in the MMO department and if you know me at all, I’m pretty pumped about it! We’ve heard nothing but good things out of Carbine Studios’ baby, so it’s only natural that we expected a good, solid business model when it was to be unveiled. I’m one of…
Summoners, prepare you wallets. Riot has announced the next event to hit Summoner’s Rift… Zigg’s Pool Party. Despite Summer nearly being over (it never truly began here in Britain) the League of Legends homepage featured this little tease into the event: “Summer’s come to Valoran, and Ziggs, duke of demolition, is throwing a blast of a pool…

Microsoft have said a lot of things, since revealing the Xbox One. None of those things have seemed to thrill most of the Interwebverse (which is what the Universe would be if it was made of the Internet and spiders). That is, until now- Fable Legends is coming exclusively to Xbox One. Fable Legends Exclusive…
So, I should start out with a confession: I write a lot of reviews about video games, but up until two years ago, I had zero interest in them. Sure, I played the occasional game here and there as a kid. I had a Sega. I loved Bubsy and Sonic the Hedgehog. When I received…
We’re living in troubling times, folks. Cyber-criminals are getting smarter, and the methods we’ve got to combat them simply aren’t evolving quickly enough to keep up. The ever-increasing instance and severity of breaches we’ve been seeing of late should be evidence enough of that. Everything from Facebook to Google to Washington State itself has been…
After playing The Walking Dead: The Game and waiting for the agonizing months to pass until the show returns, I heartily welcome anything related to The Walking Dead universe and storylines. Telltale Games’ 400 Days attempts to bridge the gap, providing a collection of short stories that could potentially give us a glimpse of what…
The Xbox 360 controller is touted as possibly the greatest game-pad of all time. Thanks to that impressive status, it became the go to game-pad for PC users to plug into their computers. I mean why not? If there is a controller that is supposed to be literally the best ever crafted, then why wouldn’t…
