Fresh outta college, one of those stereotypical, bumbling jobless "journalists" wanting to become a "vidya gaems jarnalist". And so the hunt for a job he likes begins! And no, he's not going back to school to become a pharmacist technician, like his mom nags him to be.

Remember those days as a little kid where you would put the quarter into those funny looking bubble machines and out would come a random little toy in a plastic capsule? That's the driving motivation behind playing Mass Effect 3 for me.

Young associates with comic book-fueled delusions looking to enter the war zone between the Bats and Jokers may very well enter combat with experience in games like Call of Duty. Time to forget everything you know, because the Gotham City Impostors roll a different way!

Whether you've entered Skyrim legally, crossed the border, or escorted as a prisoner of war, Dovah Enterprises is here to make sure you get the most out of exploring Skyrim and her wondrous beauty!

In retrospect, Oblivion was a good game, but it has that classic Bethesda feel of sterility. Skyrim, on the other hand, feels much more improved and, dare I say it? Alive.

Looking forward to Persona 4: The Ultimate? Then you should also check these games out.

I'm 10 years late to 3rd Strike. I have a lot of ground to cover if I want to be competent at this game. First in my journey through 3rd Strike: pick a main who I will learn everything about so that I can start learning how to fight.

Which woman -- Catherine or Katherine -- would a writer's girlfriend side with? The answer might surprise you.

Brink lost me at launch with bad lag and cumbersome gameplay mechanics. Does Agents of Change bring me back? No, but at least I tried.

Is Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 about the balance or the bucks? See what Marcel has to say about the latest entry in the street fighters versus superheroes saga.

Things aren't looking good for the blue bomber. First Mega Man Universe gets cancelled, now Legends 3 got the ax. Is there any hope left for good old Rockman?

For the longest time, I've observed Terraria from the outside as a Minecrafter. My friend was the same but he recently took the plunge. So I decided to try it too. So how is this game different from Minecraft?

If you haven't seen Cartoon Network's Regular Show, you're really missing out on a cartoon that's practically a love letter to classic 8-bit games.

"But isn't Mortal Kombat an exception to the case for its quality? King of Fighters XIII, Street Fighter IV, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, I honestly can't think of a fighting title besides Mortal Kombat that had strong, single-player features capable of standing on their own. I've grown to accept the idea that most devs can't make compelling single player options in fighting games, but thinking like that can be dangerous with devs simply not trying anymore."

"He's really fun to use in funsies player matches. I have a team for him which uses Sentinel's all around amazing stuff to cover for him when Wright isn't ready. He suffers against Marvel's all-offense-all-the-time mindset but Turnabout mode is definitely a hilarious problem: do I deal with his invincible assist or do I snap in someone ridiculously powerful?"

"I've always liked Zangief. Despite his portrayal in early SFII, he's always had a goofy demeanor in the end, plus, he gives you the satisfaction of pile driving your opponents!

I mean, in SFII's ending, he danced with President Gorby. In SFIV, he showed some kids how truly awesome at wrestling he was."

"It's actually safe more or less. The spoilers are for hardcore, story fans, but to be general about what I talk about, we talk about the metaphor the tower represents (which should be fairly obvious by six days in) and analyze the characters of Kat, Cat, and Vincent. So nothing important or specific to the integrity of the mystery is actually mentioned."

"How perfect is that. They release one of their trademark fighting game updates and they snuff out every chance Mega Man had this year?

I can't tell what's going on in their heads."

"It's not like I don't see where the modder is coming from. You just wanna play, so you join a server. Then a few minutes later, you realize you're losing hard because you have a Medic who insists on running into the frontlines with his needlegun and a Scout with the personality of a suicidal hamster.

But I definitely don't approve of the mod. One side of me may be grateful but on a more philisophical application, it's not fair.

Of course, the game IS F2P afterall, so it won't cost the freebies anything to simply find a different server that has a more accepting nature. Plus buying the cheapest item available from the in-game store labels their account as premium and allows  them to bypass the mod.

I guess in the end I'm ok with the mod. Servers cost money to run so the admin are free to do what they want with their servers. The mod take into acccount the worst kind of newbie though and it's a shame it believes every F2P'er is like that."

"Not worry! The focus of the articles are on mechanics and battles. So there won't be any story related spoilers or even catching related spoilers.

It'll be quite the logistical nightmare considering the options present in a largely unexplored subject."
