Why did we stop using imagination? When did games become less about opening that part of our mind, and more about force-feeding us whatever narrative the writers thought of? It's difficult to imagine a game like Skyrim playing out like Fallout: New Vegas, in which your actions are given meaning...

Well, by interpreter I mean the email or some other contact information of some sort of psychologist that could help. I've been having a strange series of related dreams.

I need assistance interpreting a strange series of dreams that I'm having. If anyone can help or knows somebody that could potentially help me out, it would be appreciated. I mean a hardcore interpreter too, not just someone who knows about as much about dreams as I do.

I suppose you're correct, and the ratings system isn't in place to prevent people from playing video games. And yes, that final paragraph was an exaggeration to make a point, but the fact is that many parents get their kids these games to shut them up. For the main point of the post, the...

This article will focus primarily on shooters for the XBOX 360, but there are numerous examples of this throughout the entire industry. I've never thought about this before, but Halo: Reach has a "Mature" rating, despite the complete lack of obvious sexual innuendos and being shot only...

As my face smashes against the mud at seventy miles per hour for the fifth time during this Supercross championship race, I briefly ponder why I continue playing this game. My arm is twisted through my chest at an impossible angle, and my legs should probably be broken completely off right now...

Saving enough money to buy three days worth of junk food so that I may lock myself away and commence the Skyrim binge.

In what is becoming a reoccurring trend, I have been met with yet another disappointment in the video game realm. Maybe watching so much Zero Punctuation has altered my view on video games somewhat over time, but it seems like I can't play a game anymore without absolutely tearing it apart in my...

I didn't mention online because I have never had Live, and probably never will.

If I have to play a game more than once to appreciate the gameplay mechanics, set pieces, and character personalities, then there is either something wrong with the game or I'm Johnny Raincloud with a particularly large stick up my ass. In this case, I conclude that there is something very wrong...

We've heard every single possible curse word in existence, thanks to our game-playing ways. I overheard a conversation at the Game Stop the other day however. I won't bore with details, I'll simply pose the question. Should all physically or verbally violent games give the option to censor...

There Is No Cow Level (Starcraft)

This game does not live up to its namesake. This is not because of a lack of weapons, or action, or bullets, for that matter. It's because I found myself hardly firing a shot, instead preferring to kick my enemies into a giant cactus, off a steep cliff, or into electrical wiring. If ever I've...

Learn something new every day. I couldn't consider myself a writer if I didn't have boundless humility, which I'm exercising to great effect. I can honestly say that I knew none of this, and I will research older topics from now on instead of blatantly spewing forth biased feces from every...

All of your horror stories pale in comparison to the ultimate mood-kill ending of Little Big Planet. I've never silently raged so much in my life.
