Everyone has had passing thoughts about when the next generation of consoles will show up and what will make them stand out from their predecessors. I’ve decided to organize my thoughts on the matter into a blog mini-series about the three home console rivals (or two rivals and one unimpeachable overlord, if you prefer) and try my hand at some basic prognostication. Feel free to skip to the goa...
My brother and I have played the Gran Turismo series since number three. I enjoy them in spurts and my brother has played them obsessively in past. We were both fairly anxious for a full HD upgrade to GT4 and the list of new features and cars made GT5 out to be exactly what we both wanted: more straight-up car racing in real model cars.

As you are all quite aware at this point, this thread generator has solved all of our gaming forum needs for the rest of eternity.

I feel like I must have missed something somewhere along the line, but I am still substantially in the dark about what the fuck the plot is truly about. Perhaps I'm simply not...
My indie support fund for this month was expended getting into some Minecraft, and this investment has paid off in ways I didn't remotely expect.

There is little depth to Minecraft's mechanics, but the few pillars the game is built upon have brought LEGOs into the 21st century. This is easily the most apt c...
See? I'm getting point for this nonsense.
There is a subconscious agreement among most video game players of all walks that many blockbuster games are carried purely by their visual power. Shooters get this tagging a lot, Crysis being the star pupil. These games are supposed to go out with a bang and have no lasting appeal, what with the development cycle being so lopsided toward gorgeous instead of good. It just assumed that the game...
I don't know what this is doing here.
