I don’t go to the arcade often. It is a waste of money. Those games are craftily designed to foil me before I’ve even gotten a minute out of my quarter (or, as is more common nowadays, two or three quarters). I also hate how arcade machines time me for everything. I only have ten [...]

Buying a video game is a big commitment. Home console games go for $50, and that’s a hefty chunk of a minimum wage paycheck. Fortunately, thanks to the power of the Internet, a potential buyer can read professional reviews of a game and gauge whether or not he/she wants to buy it. The problem with [...]

It’s easy to imagine that the video game fanatic is a recluse who spends his/her time alone with a controller. For some, that may be the bitter truth. Games are actually a great social avenue, however. While I’ve always enjoyed the engrossment of diving solo into an intricate adventure game, it’s playing with others when [...]

Nintendo surprised many of us a few months ago by announcing a new Gameboy system, the Gameboy Micro.

I was just at Game Crazy earlier this evening, and in that time I managed to strike up a conversation with the security officer that tends to drop by every now and then. He’s an avid gamer himself and is always willing to talk it up about gaming or play a game with us at [...]

Dear Mr. Thompson, I can understand your deal with Rockstar Games on the GTA: San Andreas “Hot Coffee” mod, but the rest of your ideals I find are purely unfounded and ridiculous. Read on to see why I feel that way. Also, I’m not flaming you at all, just presenting logical and well organized arguments. [...]

The infamous GTA hot coffee hack has turned video games into a medium which is “destroying the nation.” Hillary Clinton thinks so, and Florida attorney Jack Thompson will stop at nothing to dismantle the ESRB. He already won the fight over Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but now Thompson aims to slap an Adults Only [...]

He is known throughout the gaming world for the countless contributions he has made and accomplishments he’s done.
