Generational Shift – Silicon Knights vs. Epic Games: The Battle Of Too Human
A generation of gaming consoles that began 9 years ago with the Nintendo DS, is finally coming to a close. It was a period of rapid and sometimes radical innovation, including everything from dual screen displays, touch controls, high-definition graphics and even motion controlled games with no controller support. When the gaming history books are written, we’ll probably recall this time as one the most notable eras in the industry.

Review: Guacamelee
Being clever isn’t as easy as you might think. Look no further than this very article. I’m already 19 words into the piece and haven’t said anything of interest yet. Which leads me to Guacamelee, a game with a title so intentionally clever, you might think the developers lost confidence in the product itself and hoped to sell a few quick copies with a gimmicky name.

Perpetual 10 of 2013 – The Return of Long Diep (4/27/13)
All right guys, we have our first update on our Perpetual Top Ten!
This update includes Long Diep’s introductory list and while it is a small list, it pushes our list right into the Ten spot.
Review: Mythos Castle
The first impression most gamers will get playing Mythos Castle is a feeling of nostalgia. This game plays like Ghosts N’ Goblins and looks like Castlevania. Calling up memories of two great game series can be dangerous grounds to tread however, as gamers tend to revere nostalgia. Mythos Castle manages to not only meet the expectations that come with such an homage, but I would dare say it shatters them. This game feels like a spiritual successor to both gaming lineages’ glory days on the NES.

Review: Batman Arkham City
2009’s Batman Arkham Asylum was a surprise for many; it was the first solid superhero game since…who knows when, but the game play and story was highly addictive and extremely satisfying. Naturally, when the sequel was announced (not a surprise since a secret room could be found in Arkham Asylum that shows a map of Arkham City) the expectations were sky-high and Batman Arkham City exceeds those expectations in a way only Batman can.
Gov. Chris Christie To Implement (Pointless) Video Game Ban in NJ
Video games have been under a microscope for the greater part of 2013. A video games effect on adolescents’ is still largely unknown and that terrifies people. In response to the recent Boston bombing tragedy, Governor Chris Christie has a plan to curb violence linked to video games. There is, however, one problem; His “plan” has been in effect for, oh I don’t know, around a decade.
