Seven Movies That Should Be Games

gran-torino

What if games developers opened their minds and chose the right movies? Read on. Game movies suck. There’s just no getting around it, they really, truly suck.

Composers could bring full musical soundtracks to their games thanks to the extra storage the CD offered and it has given rise to some truly epic video game music. But, what about before [...]




Have Gamers’ buying habits changed?

Who will take the crown from Apple?

Can’t all be like the kid How many times have you been browsing a store or perhaps even a digital catalog and said, “If that was a few dollars cheaper I’d buy it”?  I’d be lying if I said I didn’t do that.  I’d also be lying if I said that I didn’t do it [...]

THQ could make one game…to rule them all

Tell me with a straight face you wouldn't buy this, but please don't

A game that was priced right

You walk into a video game retail store and peruse the selection.  You come across a wide array of things for purchase; many of them may even be the same price.  Logic dictates that price should be indicative of quality and/or substance.  You choose to purchase game “X” over “Y” and after playing it for [...]
