After the dust subsided in the great video game crash of 1983, a new era arose from the ashes with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. Gaming became cool. Everyone had an NES.

If Hotline Miami came out in the 90s, it would not have needed the PR-stirred hype that the original Grand Theft Auto (you know, the top-down one with all the over-the-top gore) went for in order to gain media attention.

There was never any momentum within the story or the gameplay that could provide anything more than a short, fleeting moment of mediocre…
The end is close. The video game incarnation of the Walking Dead is heading to a dramatic finale. In many ways, the episode, “Around Every Corner”, is comprised of many player choices that set up the climax that will occur in the upcoming fifth and final episode. For the uninitiated, The Walking Dead plays like a mix of previous…
These are the voyages of the starship Kestrel. Its mission: to bring vital data back to the last Federation fleet. Unfortunately for the Federation the Kestrel is currently adrift in space with the last of its crew valiantly trying to repair the life support as they slowly suffocate.This is a rather common story for your…
It was a miracle that Sleeping Dogs was even at E3 last year. The game was developed by United Front Games and scheduled to be published by Activision under the title, True Crime: Hong Kong.
