Modern Warfare 2 Bites Sometimes..
This time I bite back!
Don’t get me wrong, I found the campaign to be a deadly combo of stunning, challenging and addictive. However, some parts of the Spec Ops (co-op missions) on veteran difficulty were so painful I can only compare it to a dentist visit.
So, I decided to make a package deal of “How-to-Own” [...]

The Truth Behind the $60 Video Game
Have you ever wondered how the $60 price point for video games came to be? Crispy Gamer recently wrote a very engaging article where the author explained that there really is no consensus on why the pricing became what it is today, that $60 is more or less an arbitrary number, and that there may [...]

Magic The Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers – A Video Review
Being a huge Magic nerd, I had to try my hand at this strategy oriented fantasy-themed collectible card game gone digital. The game involves destroying the other player by any means necessary where you operate within a specific skill subset, varying from fire, forest creatures, black magic and others!

Gamestop Thief Mad for Madden
Every now and again we geeks hear about the strange and outlandish things people do for video games. The most recent “WTF” is one particular football loving thief who knocked off a Gamestop in Jacksonville, Florida this Monday. Did he simply force the clerk to empty the cash register like any self-respecting criminal would do? [...]

The Return of Monkey Island – A Preview
I have said it before, and I am sure I’ll say it again: I love adventure games! I love the old school, immersive classics like Grim Fandango, or more recently Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy and Sam & Max. They seem few and far between these days, but the good news is that the makers of Sam & [...]
Same Sex Sims – Gay is Okay!
Though out of fifty “United” States only six recognize gay marriage, it is acknowledged in a game franchise which sold enough copies to equal 1/3 of the entire U.S population.
Granted, not all of the sales of The Sims went through Uncle Sam, however that didn’t seem to stop EA (whose headquarters is located in [...]

Rapelay Revised – When the Line is Blurred
A couple of months ago, I wrote an article along with posting a video (both located here) regarding a video game based on raping women. It remains my most hated video to this day. It also remains one of my most watched. ;D
When you create something yourself it is difficult to see flaws in your [...]
Walmart Now Selling Used Games?
Just a few years ago gamers could only buy and sell used games at Gamestop, and it seemed like nowhere else. They bring in over an amazing $2 billion a year in revenue from used game sales – it’s big business! Recently gamers are finding more and more places that offer this service, including Amazon.com [...]
Top 10 Hottest Video Game Girls
In honor of Activision’s announcement that Megan Fox (with some other unimportant people, like a “Sheeuh” somebody..) will be providing voice-overs for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I wanted to give you a look at some of the hottest actresses to grace our presence in computer and video games. While we don’t (always) get the [...]
What is DRM and Should it be Removed?
Just a bit of DRM horror back story for you: I admit it – I was a Spore junkie. Well, not junkie, since the game hadn’t even come out yet. I was a Spore fangirl, and couldn’t get enough of reading about it. At midnight the day of its release I got [...]
Fallout 3 Secrets – The Lost Footage
October 23rd, 2077, a global nuclear attack occurred. Nobody knows who was the first to strike, but in less than two hours, the world and most major cities were blast to ruins. Even so, humanity lived on through the use of underground vaults.. but what about those that were unprotected? This video reel was found [...]
Duke Nukem Never?
Today we remember the legendary Duke Nukem, found in his iconic self-named game along with Duke Nukem II and Duke Nukem 3D. He took on the noble quest of saving Earth from aliens who wanted to enslave Earth’s women.. and Duke loves women (who doesn’t?). He was a muscle-bound male chauvinist who reminds us of [...]

/blackaperture/thumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/open-source-game.png&w=120&h=90&zc=1&q=95)
Recently I wrote an article called 12 Open Source Games that Don’t Suck, and the response was overwhelming. Along with the positive feedback you guys made it quite clear that I didn’t mention some good games, especially first-person shooters. Many of the suggestions made were of non open-source projects, but I’m trying to stick to [...]
