When you ask me what my favorite genre of game is there is never any hesitation before I blurt out 3 short letters, RPG. We’ve all played them and many of you out there love them just as much if not more than I do, but recently the line as to what truly constitutes an RPG has become quite muddled. Some say that an RPG has to have an inventory system and a true leveling system or skill tree, other people say an RPG is anything where you can upgrade your character. So...
It has been said a million times by a million different people… and we’ve all heard it before. We have all known someone or been that someone to say “I love video games” and I am sure that in most if not all of those cases the writer or person you were speaking to genuinely meant what they said. I am not here to tell you I love games, I am not even here to tell you why I love games… I am here to tell you how games saved me from a life of drug...
Controllers… they are the one device that we gamers can simply not live without, we cannot even function as we used to without one. Since I was a kid I could be found with one of many gaming controllers in my hand, I have been lucky enough to own many consoles and have had the opportunity to judge for myself just how far the controller has come. This is not simply just an article discussing how far this piece of tech has come, but also an ode to the gateway into our...
It is a question that has plagued man since the dawn of time… it is the eternal struggle… the fight between good and evil. In life of course we all strive to be the hero, the one people look to when they need help. For me however, video games changes that reality in an all too sadistic way. Playing as the villain is more fun than any hero story could have ever dreamed of being. Why stop and help that poor pedestrian when you can shoot them in the head and loot...
It has been a long time since 3 little letters have been able to enrage a group of people, but DLC just has a way of making people angry. There are a lot of reasons that some gamers are against DLC… “It’s already on the disc”, “I already bought the game”, “Developers are just greedy.” I’m sure its easy to get caught up in this way of thinking but honestly, do you want to go back to the times when you took your game home...
The boss battle… its one of the most epic moments of a gamers childhood, you’ve battled your way through countless trooper class enemies and mini bosses to get to this one moment. It’s a moment where your palms get sweaty, where your grip tightens on the controller in your hands, this is what you bought the game for, the feeling of victory that you knew awaited your patience and dedication. Whether it was Ganon, Bowser or even Dr. Robotnik you knew the goal… Chase...
