Nobody expected such a news story this week, but it seems that Facebook will no longer be a free service. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced at a press conference in Menlo Park, California that the company is unable to keep up with the costs of Facebook and a monthly fee for users is inevitable. Zuckerberg has explained that Facebook ...

This will be a series of articles in which I detail my blind playthrough of the indie first-person puzzle game, The Witness. Just for fun, I will discuss the sights and puzzles I encounter, my inevitable hardships along the way, and my thoughts on what it all means. That being said, if you have not yet played the game and intend ...

It is hard to believe that the first live-action Mortal Kombat movie hit theaters 21 years ago. I have fond memories of the excitement that my older brother, my friends, and myself felt as the movie’s release approached; we had spent many hours dueling each other with the crazy Mortal Kombat characters, and the movie would give us the opportunity ...

As we turn our backs on 2015, it’s time to round up our favorite games of the year. We saw a lot of excellent video games last year, and everybody has their own list of favorites. I thought that a fun way to start off the year would be to share my favorite games of 2015 with you. So, without ...

Halloween is upon us, and, for gamers, that can only mean one thing: It’s time to play (or replay) some amazing horror-based games. Video games have become just as much of a Halloween tradition as scary movies, haunted houses, and pumpkin patches. Every year, we feel an itch to turn the lights off, turn on our consoles, and willingly subject ...

Always enjoy the classics.  They’re the reason why certain games exist.  Without their foundations, gaming wouldn’t be the same.  Remember Call of Duty 2?  Can you believe it has been almost been 10 years since the game was released?  That entry into the Call of Duty franchise introduced new and basic concepts.  Even though regenerating health was seen in Halo 2, the grenade icon ...

In this day and age, nothing is safe. Because technology is so advanced, it’s nearly impossible to keep files from being leaked onto the Internet. Look at what has happened to Microsoft.  Their attempt to create a Russian exclusive Halo game resulted in the “El Dorito” hack.  The not-so-secret Halo: Online has been leaked. Now, modders are working on making the game available for everyone. ...

It would be impossible in this day and age for someone to not be familiar with World War II.  There are movies, and games, dealing with the science of the war and the individuals who fought in it.  For some of us, reliving those particular moments of history give us a fraction of what the war was like.  At the ...

The end is near, all those faithful heed my words, as Kanye West has taken over the Holy Bible and has become the new Messiah of the people. More like the new God, really. No, seriously, it’s not a joke. Kanye West has actually replaced Jesus and God in the Bible, although it’s not the Bible that you’re thinking of. ...

All the marketing we’ve seen for the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, The Order: 1886 has been rather one-note, and remarkably grim. While not official, this trailer will probably attract way more eyeballs than anything Sony’s been able to come up with. The video, called The Order 1986, was put together by the guys at Corridor Digital. These are the folks who ...
