Of all of the assorted kiosks that were available to play after the Sony E3 press briefing, there was just something about the Resistance 3 multiplayer preview that seemed to be calling out to me.  This was particularly odd to me, especially considering how middling my opinions have been about prior...

Girls do play games. In fact, there are more women on this Earth than there are men, so mathematically there should/could be more women playing games than men. The problem is that we live in a male dominated society, and the video game industry is one of the most perverse examples. As such, women get the...

Earlier this month, I thought I was going to the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo.  Instead, I winded up at the first annual Electronic Entertainment ExBRO.  An ocean of shooters, as far as the eye could see.  Battlefield 3.  Call of Duty.  Gears of War 3.  Hitman: Absolution. Dust 514. Starhawk. ...

Normally June means a slow down in game releases. People are going outside and taking vacations, so game sales tend to drop as consumers leave the couch behind. It is unusual, then, for so many games to be released this week.  For example, F.3.A.R. is a messed up psychological thriller that might interest...

John Carmack’s baby is in our hands, at long last. iD’s first original IP in over a decade is finally nearing release, and at the Bethesda booth, GamesAreEvil was finally able to get some one-on-one time with the groundbreaking new shooter. It may have been a long time coming, but believe me when I...

I review books as well as video games. A book takes me about 5 hours, maybe less, to play through it. I don’t ever get stuck in a particularly tough boss chapter section where either my skills or the book’s design prevent me from moving forward. I watch movies, too. I can imagine that reviewing...

Outside of some rapid (and likely impossible) rush to market by Sony and Microsoft that would most certainly end in certain doom, it looks like Nintendo is set to accomplish a feat never before seen in their history: Nintendo’s new console will be first to market. Think back in time to...

I want to be forward with you. Declaring Duke Nukem: Forever this week’s “Release of the Week” is in no way an endorsement telling you to run out and buy the game. In reality this is more of a warning that if you are planning a trip to hell any time soon, I would pack some snow shoes....

This week, I was planning on playing my copy of Resistance 2: Fall of Man. But then, as part of the gaming hype machine, I saw the Catwoman trailer for the new Arkham City game. I suddenly felt like playing Arkham Asylum. Am I that easily influenced? Yeah, I guess I am. However, in my defense, Arkham...

When it comes to must-see games at this year’s E3, Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was very obviously near, if not at the top of the list. The successor to the insanely popular Oblivion has some dramatically huge shoes to fill, but if what we saw in today’s demo was any indication, it is very up...
