In case you weren't familiar with the BloodRayne series when it first came around, it was a game mostly focused on the premise that game systems were powerful enough to render polygonal boobs, and by God the industry was going to find a reason to render every conceivable possible type of them.  BloodRayne was our adolescent ...

  We played a lot more games than we've written on at PAX Prime, but a lot of them just didn't show us enough to really warrant a whole article, so we decided to do a quick hit list here and get most of them out of the way, so strap in.  This will be quick enough, and then we'll never speak of it again. That's what she said. Jurassic ...

  I think everyone is aware that it's no cakewalk writing for an independent game media site, and if you think otherwise, save some denial for the rest of us, would ya?  Game PR people generally don't want to talk to unless they aren't getting the desired speed from bigger sites, you end up largely having to cover the costs for reviews ...

If there was one thing that was utterly unexpected about PAX it was the Citizen Skywatch booth.  The innocuous booth sat in the edge of the 2K Games area, largely taunting the PAX-goers.  The most entertaining aspect was that people kept lining up for it, even though most of them had no clue what it was.  Some thought they were ...

  I've noticed two trends in gaming, recently.  First is the resurgence of the loot-whore dungeon crawl, which I'm going to attribute to the success of Torchlight and Borderlands, plus the knowledge that once Diablo 3 hits that market is going to be impossible to break into, so get in now.  The other is the free-to-play, team ...

Sometimes, standing in line at a demo station, you watch the players ahead of you, and you think you’ve seen all you need to see.  Skyward Sword pleasantly surprised me by showing me I could be wrong.The controls took a little getting used to, coming off the essentially digital waggling of Twilight Princess and into the modern world of Wii ...

  The first Toy Soldiers was a whimsical take on tower defense, taking place in a world of wind-up and tin soldiers modeled after World War 1 fighters.  It was a delightful take on the “living toys” well that has been milked plenty of times before, but was done freshly enough to keep any thoughts of “I’ve seen this before” from cropping ...

  So, I realize that this is hardly a new thing, but a photographer friend of mine recently got the opportunity to work an Angry Birds-themed birthday party, and the photos were so charming I felt I had to pass the whole magilla along.  The cake-making tutorials have been on the net for a while, but the party planner/mom from Simply ...

  If you haven't ran over to artofvideogames.org to vote on which games The Smithsonian is going to include in their ''Art of Video Games'' exhibit, the clock is ticking.  Voting ends April 17th.  The exhibit will be on display from March 16th to September 30th in 2012 (so schedule your vacation appropriately) and will explore ...

  ZenStudios announced today that their next board, MARS, will be available April 20th, for all of you flipper jockies out there.  And I’m going to use that announcement to address an issue that’s a long time in coming.I was wrong about Pinball FX2, when I blasted it at PAX last year.In case you missed it, I shot down Pinball FX2 when I ...
