In this week's Community Spotlight, we go hands-on with Guild Wars 2, continue our quest in Shadow of the Colossus, make a wish list for Elder Scrolls Online, and more. Warm up your Thu'um and read on.

If you consider all video games to be art, it renders the category meaningless and demeans the medium in the process. We need to be more selective about what deserves that label.

Part 4 of my narrative through Shadow of the Colossus. In this entry, we see Wanda travel and defeat the fifth and sixth colossi of the game, one a beast of the sky and the other an underground sage.

One writer discusses that feeling you get when you have dozens of games to beat and don't know what to play: the backlog blues.

In this week's Community Spotlight, we continue our journey in Shadow of the Colossus, talk even more about the story of Mass Effect 3 (and games in general), and cap things off with Halo's Master Chief doing something you might not expect. (No, it doesn't involve Cortana. Sickos.)
