Alright everyone, now that I’ve tackled the Xbox One reveal at E3, I think it’s time to move onto the Playstation 4. It seems that Sony decided to play it smart this year with their console release and took advantage of being the later of the two companies to reveal their console by taking some…
In a much-belated move timed with E3, Dell announced the entire Alienware laptop lineup is being refreshed with the introduction of Intel’s 4th generation Haswell CPUs. This is a relatively big deal, considering the M14x, M17x, and M18x (yes, there’s an 18-inch laptop out there) haven’t been redesigned since their release back in 2009. Each…
Before I get started gushing about how happy I am, I would like to let you all know that I am a twenty year old with an arguably deep voice and an entirely normal upbringing, and I just squealed like a little girl getting her first Barbie doll. Super Smash Bros. Arrives Cross-Console At E3…
In recent months it’s been pretty impossible to escape all of the sexism talk surrounding the video game culture. It seems as if the game industry really dislikes the idea of women gamers, for some reason. On a regular basis I read a story about the industry that has “sexism” in it’s title. In 2011,…

Today at E3 Microsoft revealed to us unwashed masses, the price point of the new Xbox One. How lucky we are to get such a fantastic machine at only 500 dollars! If you think the US is lucky then you’ll be jealous of me. I get to pay 428 pounds, that’s about 667 dollars at…
Another Gran Turismo game is on the horizon, and once again all the talk is of the details; ultra-realistic sun glare here, true-to-life body roll there. Standard Gran Turismo, and that’s great. But I’m torn. Gran Turismo is like my nerdy best mate, but all he wants to do these days is sit in his…

The Xbox One’s announcement hasn’t been much of a success with gamers around the world (wide web). Most of them hate the Once-a-day Internet spot check and others hate the complexity of playing used games on the console. However, one UK retailer has something different to say about the consoles popularity. According to Blockbuster (UK),…
A little over two weeks. I know you didn’t ask a question, but I assume you did the same thing I do every time I see the word “OUYA.” I suddenly get all filled with electricity and butterflies and begin asking “When? When? When?” With the release date just around the corner I can barely…
Yeah, that’s right. Amazon.com is now selling indie games. Here’s what they had to say about this: Game development is an art, like any other. It can be personally rewarding, and like other forms of artistic expression, great games can come from anywhere. Powerhouse game studios don’t hold a monopoly on inventiveness or creativity, and…
Rice Digital is a company devoted to all things doujin. New doujin titles, doujin creators, the doujin community, Rice Digital has it all and then some. “But what is doujin and why should I care?”, I hear you cry.
