Before I explain that headline, I want you to watch the following trailer for the Legacy Mode in the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA 13. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Done?

College Humor Turns Breaking Bad Into a 16-Bit RPG, Internet Weeps For Joy

Diablo III: Book Of Cain: More Than You Ever Wanted To Know About Blizzard’s Series
Insight Editions It’s pretty much this, all the way through. Opening my mailbox the other day, I was greeted by an oversized enveloped. Assuming it was a game I tore it open, only to find a huge, hardcover book. “What is this?” I thought. “Paper? Words? What do I look like, some kind of nerd?” […]

Abobo’s Big Adventure: Play This Thing Before The Snow Kills You

Now that I’ve said something topical, let me introduce you to a Flash game that is entirely unrelated to the above text: Abobo’s Big Adventure.

Support Local Virtual Fisticuffs This Saturday
Capcom Fighting Games: Like Chess, except the pawns are raccoons and chauvinistic photographers. Can you keep a secret? No, of course you can’t, but I don’t care. I’ll tell you anyway. I love fighting games! What, you thought it was just luck of the draw that every new Capcom fighter gets its own review in […]
