Videogames don’t just corrupt the average high school teen — you can blame them for all kinds of things including the death of Adolf Hitler and the reason you keep having that unexplainable bleeding.

We have had many useful commandments for loyal readers over the course of our Ten Golden Rules series. From learning how to be an online gamer and fanboy, to crafting a successful JRPG or Survival Horror, there have been failsafe doctrines of conduct for gamer and game designer alike.

Ah, Grand Theft Auto IV. It’s perhaps the biggest release in the history of video games, and it has received near-universal acclaim — well, that’s except for a few facets: namely, the multiplayer and the driving. Regarding that second point, I received a couple of emails earlier this week asking about a “driving guide” that […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
A while back, we talked about Activision CEO Bobby Kotick sending a somewhat ironic jibe EA’s way, claiming it "sucked the souls" out of its acquired studios. Well, I am sure you will ALL be glad to read that Electronic Arts doesn’t really care what Activision thinks. That’s a relief for all of us.

"F*** all this stuff about casual gaming," ranted the man who co-wrote GTA IV. "I think people still […]
