I was not fortunate enough to have the time to download the Mass Effect 3 demo on Valentine’s Day (although I hear that Josh had quite a bit of fun putting it through its paces on the XBox 360). However, Bioware was kind enough to make my heart swoon with the two latest trailers for this anticipated release. The first? The FemShep trailer, simply titled...
Ahoy internet. Your Infamous Platypus here with nothing better to do on Valentines day another exciting adventure for you. The gaming culture was never exactly well known for it’s ‘grip’ on reality. Imagined by outsiders as petulant eleven year olds screaming obscenities into their 360 headset, or sallow forty year olds holed up in a...
Minecraft modder a_dizzle so lovingly decided to throw together a Weeping Angels mod. Yes, that was correct: the absolutely terrifying Weeping Angels from the BBC television show Dr. Who.

As a brand that has made a name for itself on its prowess around a good story, Bioware has been smart to encourage fan-generated and commercial content around their current popular franchises. In the last couple of weeks, I...
Last night, Tim Schafer of Double Fine Studios announced that they would be launching a Kickstarter in order to fund a modern point and click adventure planned for release through Steam with a hopeful release date of October 2012. Tim’s reasoning for using Kickstarter was simple enough. Keeping the scale of the project this small accomplishes two...
Phantasy Star Online originated for the Sega Dreamcast back in 2000, and was eventually ported to Gamecube and Xbox later in 2002. Despite a very limited North America release, Nintendo actually developed a GCN network adapter specifically for fanboys who wanted to get the full PSO experience—I’m talking online co-op, complete with a monthly subscription...
I met my best friend when I was fourteen years old. We were both daughters of entomologists who had worked together for years, so Jess and I knew each other ever since we were toddlers. However, we only discovered our bond of friendship in our early teens. In one moment, we realised that we both enjoyed The X-Files and high fantasy fiction by Sara...
Fanfiction is a wonderful thing. It is a medium of writing that allows those of us who can’t write to be authors. The premise is simple: take an existing media (video game, TV show, movie) and write new fiction based on existing characters an plotlines. Unfortunately, most of it pushes character relationships that should never, ever exist. It’s my...
I promise you I will do everything in my power to wipe the mental image presented with the title of this article. Now false promises aside, I would like to introduce you to a gem that I came across this morning while doing my usual “Googlediving” for new and exciting developments in the gaming universe. It’s name is Gunpoint and it’s...

It’s been three and a half years since Soul Calibur IV was released, and since then fighting fanatics have witnessed the resurrection of Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, and Mortal Kombat—three behemoths that dominate the genre here in the United States.

I had a startling revelation last night: I played Pokémon Blue for the first time almost thirteen years ago. I also found out that this month marks the 16th anniversary of the Japanese release of Pocket Monsters: Red and Green, the two games that launched the series. I’m willing to wager that a good majority of you have played at least one of the main...
