This week was rather slow, with everyone distracted by the holidays! I didn’t even manage to finish my Greensleeves redstone composition in Minecraft (although the room for it is all hollowed out, thanks to the help of a friend). I’ll probably use it for another song. Ideas, anyone? Speaking of Minecraft, the documentary was released...

You are probably like me, or at least a little bit like me, and you grew up around videogames. I’m pushing 30 now and still find myself playing games just as much as I did when I was a kid, which might say something about me or just how the industry has evolved over the...

It’s only a matter of time before solid news about Microsoft’s next console appears. Personally, I’ve spent the week getting familiar with the very addicting Feed the Beast modpack for Minecraft.

Unfortunately, it’s that time of the month when we talk about violence and video games again. In 2011, the US Supreme Court ruled that there was no proof violent video games increased violence in minors, and yet here we are not two years later with a national study on the very same relationship.

It extends the field of vision outside of the television and projects it onto the walls, furniture, and whatever else you have in your game room.

Let’s get this out of the way; Sleeping Dogs isn’t a bad game, it just really isn’t a good one. Sometimes, it really is best to let sleeping dogs lie. Unfortunately, United Front Games and Square Enix felt the need to resurrect last generation’s True Crime series of open-world action games, rather than letting the mediocre series fade...
