Following my usual daily process, I clicked along to N4G this morning to check out the big news over the last day or so. And I saw this as one of the top stories – an article from a gaming blog claiming a gay gamer convention should not exist. I’m…

Read MoreI only played Orcs Must Die! briefly at a friend’s house before, and while I enjoyed the experience, I never picked that title up and played it extensively.

Read MoreLicensed titles; just about everyone has played one at some stage. After all, if we really like a movie, we naturally want to play an interactive version of it as well. Unfortunately, most licensed titles are made cheaply to cash in on the success of a movie, and so most…
Read MoreWell, here is one thing I thought I would never see; on the first day of Quakecon 2012, it was announced that the 1995 cousin of Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of The Triad, is getting a sequel/remake scheduled to hit Steam later this year. I’ll admit that this one came out…
