This week’s Wednesday Rant covers the topic of video game fanboys.
Category: Games
In the wake of Cory Ledesma’s comments regarding used video games, the Internet has been ablaze with talk on the subject. Kotaku, Ars Technica, Penny Arcade…if a website even remotely deals with gaming, they have at least one article up stating their opinion.
Here’s mine.
This is the first entry in a new feature here on Living With a Nerd: The Wednesday Rant. Each week, we will present a rant on a different topic (and, if things go as planned, sometimes from different authors!) This week’s entry is a rant by myself about DLC practices.
Just like in movies, music can play a huge role in establishing atmosphere and the general “feel” of a video game. Highly talented people laboriously craft music to fit a game’s atmosphere…however, sometimes external music sources are the way to go.
A history of gaming. Or, how I learned to stop worrying and continue playing video games as an adult
At the age of 26, I’ve been gaming for about 22 years. Why have I continued playing video games on an almost daily basis…nonstop? Why have any of us played video games for so long?
While not quite as good as Alien Swarm, Greed: Black Border is still a fun game reminiscent of the Crusader series.
We have already discussed whether or not a good story is necessary for a game to be considered “good”, and Limbo adds another hash mark to the “no” column. It takes minimalism in gaming beyond what you thought possible.
On June 29th, 2000, things would never be the same (and I would lose a girlfriend over a videogame.) Ten years ago today, Diablo II was unleashed upon the gaming world. Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we?
It has been 15 years since Metal Warriors was developed by LucasArts and published by Konami on the Super Nintendo. How does this action-packed classic hold up?
The debate over whether a good storyline matters in video games is one that has gone on for quite a long time. In the first of two articles, we looked at some games whose experience directly hinged on having a great story. However, in this second article, we explore some video games that provide amazing experiences with little or no story at all.
