"hink gaming is at the end of the day an individual experience. Personally, I think knowing gaming history is an option that is out there for gamers who want to do so, but certainly not necessary for an "enhanced appreciation" of gaming today.
PS: Pet peeve; game reviews/articles that constantly namedrop old/obscure games as reference/comparisons. It's like saying, "If you don't know these games, shame on you!"

"'t help but agree with the poster above that attractiveness will get you ahead - even if it's not intentional.
Let's not kid ourselves - we all know that being attractive is a plus no matter what industry you are in. If you're a top female physicist who is mildly attractive - you're going to be known as "the hot physicist". Cringe all you want, but that is how they will be perceived and marketed.
As for female game journalists, a good number of them out there are definitely legit. They know their stuff and they've probably headshotted a fair number of their male audience in Halo. If they promote themselves as knowledgeable, witty, insightful and clever - that's how they will win fans... Fans of that sort.
As for the attractive females who promote themselves as such, they will win fans of thatsort. Inevitably, there will be a market for sexy-gamer-girls so craved by stereotypical nerdy-horny-gamer-boys. And so, there will be sexy-gamer-girls providing that product. It's not wrong. They're fulfilling the needs of a group of people out there and if they are doing a good job - hey, who is to say that's a bad thing?
Just like not all of us will be fans of the female-gamers who would say something along the lines of, "Like, OMG I named my Star Trek Online ship the USS 2sexy4u and my crew wears pink latex!", Not everyone will be fans of the straight-edge take-me-seriously journalists, either. We can only hope they will join our side someday"

"come to the Dark Side, Brett!
Gotta love Steam, pc-gaming just wouldn't be the same without it. Oh, did I mention they were developing a version for macs?
As for cheap/playable - try the Killing Floor or Team Fortress 2, perhaps"

I'm still quite surprised that a full-sized bodysuit (ala Robocop) has never hit the market. I mean, everyone would get one, right? Right?
