Just the night before, in fact, I had responded to a request to join some friends in another game's dungeon by saying that of course I'd be happy to press "1" over and over for 20 minutes. But Hager's monsters, combined with TERA's signature action combat, sounded like just the thing I needed to rekindle my interest. Read More »

If you logged into Steam in the last few hours you would have been greeted by the following message, one that indicates that the Steam forums have been hacked. In addition, these intruders gained access to a database that contains information such as passwords, purchase history, and encrypted credit card information.

Playing Gemini Rue almost brought a tear to my eye. Not because of the writing or the situations or anything, but because I never thought I'd play a game like this again. See, when I was a kid, 2D adventure titles like this dominated the market -- games that emphasized story, characters, writing, puzzles, and that sort of thing. Not to say games don't do that today, but they don't do it the way Gemini Rue does. Read More »

The world of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a vast expanse of sheer beauty, danger, and adventure -- you can also terrorize townsfolk, get punched in the face by a giant, and fight a ton of dragons. Those are just a few reasons why we love this game so much. Because of the sheer scope of Skyrim we've elected to have two fellow adventurers, Mike Nelson and Scott Sharkey, share their thoughts on the game, debate its merits, and weigh in on why this is one of the best titles of the year.
