It’s unlikely that any individual in the gaming world will ever have a song written about them, but Geoff Keighley is a good candidate for the first.

Only now, around five …
As I write this piece in my college dorm, my favorite Smash Bros.-themed Amiibos from my vast collection are to my right, and a playlist of competitive Smash for Wii U matches is playing on my iPad to my left. I didn’t think to put this playlist on to get me in the mood to …

The Nintendo Wii U is without question, the underdog of the console market, even if it is the best console on store shelves right now. For gamers like myself, the most important difference between the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U is the amount of exclusive games they offer. Sure, they have differences in …

In my favorite console article, the reason why the Xbox 360 was purchased over a PS3 was because of Dead Rising.

For much of my adolescence and childhood, computers were what other people had. They were increasingly popular, but had not yet become the ubiquitous appliances they are now, when even the youngest juggle laptops, desktops, tablets, and smart phones. As immersed as I now am in this cycle of monitors and touch screens, I was …

I’ve spent hours on the Nintendo 64, PS2, XBox360, and Wii; but the NES will always have a special place in my heart. Growing up my parents were very much against having video games in the house. My brother and sister and I were allowed to play at our relatives homes, but a console in …
Last week I read an article where George Lucas and Steven Spielberg gave their predictions of where videogames will be within the next five years, give or take. Spielberg believes videogames will not be completely immersive until they are a three-dimensional experience. Microsoft is allegedly working on that.
