If you’re anything like me, Heroes of Newerth is the game you play when your League of Legends account has been temporarily banned. Or at least, that’s how I used to feel, before I started playing HoN consistently. Then, I noticed something unique about the world created by S2 Games: HoN might have the strongest […]
Reasons why I love QuakeCon include: being Left 4 Dead (@%#! you guys) by my teammates, before the game was released. Discovering Novint’s haptic feedback controller, but being too broke to afford it (then). And oh, how the booths await my ego-engulfing lust for treasure. As you might have guessed, I’m already registered. I can’t […]
My brother Austen and I are hooked on MOBA games. You might know them as “DotA games” or “Action RTS games,” but it’s equally likely that you haven’t heard about them at all. At the very least, you probably have no idea how fast these Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (see, MOBA) games are growing and […]
A recently-divorced Chinese woman is facing eight months in prison, one and a half years of suspension, and a fine of twenty thousand yuan ($3,140 American) for fraud, and these stiff penalties are all because of counterfeit arcade tokens.

I’m a skeptic, so I’m not going to come right out and say I love something that doesn’t even exist yet. But man, I love Ouya. I really do. At least, I love the promise of Ouya. I love Ouya’s potential. Because I love indie games. I love Steam and the Playstation Store. I love […]
For those of you who don’t know why the Magic: The Gathering is interesting: these motherf*&!ers plane shift between exotic alternate realities whilst summoning beings of incomprehensible power to battle against one another or creatures capable of devouring entire dimensions, all elegantly expressed through the joy of a children’s card game. Awesome, right? It is. I played […]
First and foremost, let me get this off my chest. I am an MMORPG whore. I’ll get with any MMO, and I don’t care who’s watching or what they think. That being said, I have an unbiased opinion on this genre. I honestly want to love every MMORPG I play and I do my best […]
Capcom has announced that it’s opening a Resident Evil themed restaurant, called Biohazard Cafe & Grill S.T.A.R.S. in Japan next month. The part most like Resident Evil? The cafe opens on Friday the 13th in a crowded department store (Shibuya Parco Part-1). The part that’s not like Resident Evil? The, uh, singing and dancing entertainment […]
DISCLAIMER: I don’t like Diablo or Diablo 2. Having said that disclaimer, a big part of the reason I don’t like Diablo 3 is because, like its predecessors, I feel the game is a cheap psychological hack that makes players feel like they’re moving ahead and progressing, when in reality, they’re just picking up more […]
