Games of Our Wives: The Sims 3
Like the other guys, I’m very lucky to be in a relationship with someone who tolerates the amount of time I spend either playing video games or writing/talking about them. And like a lot of… non-traditional gamers, my fiance plays some casual games on her iPad (yes, I’m marrying an Apple-user) every once in a while, but with [...]
Gears of War 3 Review: Two is Company, Three is a Crowd (of Sweetasticness)
So let’s get the obvious points out of the way first. As expected, Gears of War 3 still looks amazing, plays well and sounds incredible. The real question is whether there is enough in this package to end the series on a high note or will it join the others that have suffered the fate [...]

Our first live video podcast brings Justin, Ethan, Cole, Justin, and Josh out of the shadows to reveal their Top 5 games that they suck at.

Kid and Play: Plants vs. Zombies Co-op with my Son
Today I’m introducing a new series to IGWT: Kid and Play. No, it’s not about the visceral Chucky doll, it’s about getting involved as a parent with your child in video games. I’m sure adult gamers have visions of playing co-op with their children much like most dads seem to envision playing catch in the backyard. [...]
It’s No Longer in the Game
Healthy competition has helped grow the game industry into what it is today. This growth spawned fantastic debates like Mario vs Sonic. Rivalries have resulted in the premature death of genres like guitar games, but there is a genre within the industry that desperately needs more competition and that is sports games. Exclusivity is king Just six short [...]
Study shows that gamer behavior may cause violence; not video games
A study published in USA Today says we should study gamer behavior and not the video games when discerning higher levels of violence.
Do We Want Nintendo to Fail?
Ever since the recent birthday of the SNES I’ve been daydreaming about my classic memories with the system and with my old friend, Nintendo. It made me realize just how nearly flawless of a game Super Mario World really was and I couldn’t shake the urge to play the game. Luckily, the redeeming feature of [...]
Gaming Connoisseur: Tired of Being a Human? Be a Monster!
Being a monster is a loophole in my “always the good guy” gameplay routine. Monsters HAVE to destroy cities and eat humans (even babies, sorry, from their vantage point they can’t tell the size difference) as it’s part of the natural order. Without monsters, humans would go unchecked and overpopulate the Earth, causing environmental catastrophes that [...]

I Learned Something Today: Super Mario Kart
Racing is a part of the American psyche. People spend thousands of dollars every year to follow their favorite driver around the country. It also has a huge presence on television with an entire network dedicated to racing. But what about the non-regulatory racing that is also out there? This is where I thrive and [...]
Serious Sam: Double D Reflex Review by Serious Sam
A shot of whiskey, 3 cans of Red Bull and a rare T-bone steak, the breakfast of champions. You’re probably eating oatmeal or Kashi while you read this, which is a great start for a teacher or mid-level corporate executive but would barely carry you through the first wave of monsters that I deal with [...]
Two Guys, One Space Pirate Game: An Interview with SPAZ Creators MinMax Games
Tandem bicycling, piggy back rides, three legged races, all activities best suited to the combined efforts of two individuals. You can add game development on an epic scope to that group of activities as MinMax Games, creators of the newly released Space Pirates and Zombies, shows that two dedicated Canadians can make a game that’s [...]
Pro Wrestling Video Games: Part 1 – The Slobberknockers
Well, the cycle has returned. I’m back into wrestling for the millionth time. Thanks to the recent return to reality based angles with CM Punk quitting after winning the title, I was re-hooked. But as I was watching and anticipating WWE ’12 the video game to be released, I started thinking about all of the [...]

Gamer’s Journey: How I Shot my Way to Fallout 3
I think it’s safe to say that most of us favor a particular genre in our gaming. The well-rounded gamer may enjoy them all, but even he/she has that specific type of game that just gets him excited for more. For me, it’s shooters. Stick a gun in my hand and slap on a first-person [...]
