I know, I know. This is a Canadian video game blog and we shouldn’t be all that interested in what’s happening south of the 49th parallel, but this was too juicy to pass up. Presidential candidate Barack Obama — who needs to beat out Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race before going up against the [...]

A good friend of mine is big Real Time Strategy (RTS) freak. He has played just about every RTS game that has ever been released on the PC, from the legendary Warcraft series (before it became a World of Warcraft) to Age of Empires. Command & Conquer holds a special place in his heart, so [...]
While we wait for that GTA trailer, I thought it would be appropriate to post something about guns and video game violence. In this case, it’s just sort of related to that.

This one is for real Nintendo fanboys only. Like, for people so loyal to Shigeru Miyamoto that they’d be willing to forfeit their first-born. Some lucky buck named Anthony was fortunate enough to get in good with a Toys R Us manager, reorganizing the Rzone at the store. As a reward, Anthony receiving a near [...]
Remember yesterday when everyone was bashing on TMNT for the Nintendo DS? Despite all that negative press, I took the plunge into the sewers, eliciting the services of four teenage mutant ninja turtles and their mutated rat sensei.
