Taking Offense: I Don’t Wanna Rebel

A couple of months ago, I picked up Rage because it was criminally underpriced for $15. While I was enjoying the heck out of the game, I basically ignored the story line because: vanilla. However, as I wrapped it up, it occurred to me that the entire game was based on the premise that the Authority was the Big Bad and that the Resistance was good. It’s not what you’d call a new trope, but the more I got to thinking [...]

Individuals that don’t play games often accuse those of us who do of wasting time. While I generally disagree with this statement, I have noticed a trend in games during the course of my own play time that may validate such a perception and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. It’s time we stop living a lie, stop smiling the superficial smiles and start owning up to the fact that we are wasting way too much time progressing [...]

Counter Gaming: The Game Industry Needs Focus

Doombringers and naysayers are littering the forums and game journalism resources because no one really knows what’s going to become of the game industry. It seems the majority is focusing on what publishers, developers, media sources, and even gamers are doing wrong to prevent the game industry from creating stability and a welcoming consumer environment. Electronic Arts, despite being an entertainment company, has somehow beat its competition for worst company in the world. The negative minority is among the loudest [...]

As many of have noticed, they just don’t make video game heroes like they used to. It used to be simple and straightforward, but gone are the days of a hero merely walking into a castle and saving the princess. Somewhere along the way, either society started asking too much of our heroes or our heroes started losing focus. The video game heroes of today would rather pick flowers than save the world, and this floral threat is starting to [...]

I’m a huge supporter of video games pushing the boundaries of humor, drama and horror, as there is time and a place for just about anything. However, with my video games being in a centralized location in my home, those boundaries do not necessarily need to be pushed when small children are running around. I take pride in being very conscious of what games I play when I’m around the young and impressionable. So much so that, when the kids [...]
