Music and sounds have always been an integral part of video games.  Whether it was the 8-bit bleeps and bloops of the NES, all the way to the crisp, HD orchestrated music featured in modern games, I have always taken an interest to the sounds and scores of my favorite games.  Halo, for instance, while not...

Tribes was a fairly popular series of Sci-Fi first-person shooters on the PC in the late 1990′s and early 2000′s. It is most notable for implementing jet-packs with the ability to “ski” quickly across open terrain. Though it may be hard to believe, skiing was actually a bug in the...

The average age of today’s traditional Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 owner is 37. A couple of years ago that number was 35. Looking back near the start of the generation, that number was 30.

This changed when Infinity Ward made the somewhat gutsy decision to move their franchise shooter Call of Duty into the current era with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. After that the copycats followed and the...

Don’t try and adjust your glasses, or computer monitor, you read the headline right; City Interactive’s foray into the world of modern military snipers in Sniper: Ghost Warrior has surpassed the million seller mark. Although critically panned, Sniper was released at a budget price point that...

The NPD Group, the group responsible for tracking sales and revenue data for the video game industry in the United States, has expounded upon their earlier top 10 selling games of 2010 list by providing platform specific top ten lists for the past year.

While trolling through the Amazon Deals today, I found something remarkable: the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Collection for PS3 is $50 off, from ninety bucks to a mere $40. This is Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, both for the PS3, in one box for over half off. Not bad for the day’s bargains,...
