Aaah, the Postal series. At once a paragon of tasteless humor and of gamers collectively banging their heads on desks with disgust, nobody can deny that Running With Scissors’ oft-controversial series will always have a place — however dubious — in videogame history. So, who’s up for a third installment? I know I am. With […]

[This special editorial by Benj Edwards deals with the ever-fun issue of the correct form of ‘videogame’ vs. ‘video game’ in game (or indeed, any!) journalism. GSW management would like to make it clear that they don’t much care either way, but enjoy Mr. Edwards’ unsolicited chutzpah on the matter. Let battle commence!]

Retro Games Library
Category: Nintendo, Hardware | Leave a Comment
It is nice to see anyone take the time to introduce people video games. One man took it upon himself to setup a retro games display at his local library! He even printed out little fact sheets about each console that was on display. It’s a great way to teach people about […]
