Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been a gamer. You see, I had the privilege — if you can call it that — of being born right at the dawn of the video game consoles, so I got to experience the rise and fall of all the Ataris, the NES, the SEGA Mega Drive, and so on. I got to play them all, at least once, and see for myself what they were all about.

When people began to turn to online gaming, to be completely honest, I couldn’t see the appeal. To me, a game is something that…

If any of you out there are vintage game collectors, then you might probably be all too familiar with the upcoming list of titles. But if you know of anyone that likes old games and is complaining about the space they’re taking up in their cupboard, then perhaps it would be worth taking a look at this list because they might actually be sitting on a small treasure. With starting values approaching $1,000, some of these titles are considered to be extremely valuable due to how rare they are.

As game design continues to wow the world and become more immersive, the line between video games and blockbuster movies continues to blur. In the wake of the pandemic, much of the world turned to games for entertainment as movie theatres closed their doors. As these theatres reel from the financial loss, one company turned to video games for help. In South Korea, CGV Cinemas is bringing video games and movie theatres together. These theatres are allowing players to experience their favorite video games on the big screen.

The Oceanic nation has a long history in the sport and many people who love to play it. Yet it seems more than happy to kick that history in the teeth and shove those people into the sidelines if it means keeping out all the dangerous elements that come with it…

I have written many times about the issues that plague Australian football. Both at the newspaper that I worked for during a short time period and in my own separate blog, this is a topic that I have analyzed extensively because I have a passion for the sport and…

These are the nights where football’s stars shine the brightest. And we were fortunate enough to be able to bask in their light…

In just a few short days, one of football’s greatest competitions — if not the greatest — will be making its long-awaited return to decide who will be crowned this year’s top-dog in Europe. …

These are some of the most explosive or emotionally heavy moments seen in video games that are closely reminiscent of what we might come across at a movie theater.

Thanks to advancements in technology and the leaps and bounds video game developers have made in recent years, there are times during our playthroughs of many popular titles when things begin to move so quickly around the characters or that the plot gets so deep that we find ourselves lost within it.

It’s during these times that it’s easy to forget that we’re still playing a video game and not watching…

Endwalker — the upcoming expansion — was recently announced by Square Enix and the game’s director Naoki Yoshida during a live presentation. Back in March of 2010, when Yoshida was appointed producer and director of the then-highly problematic massively multiplayer online role-playing game Final Fantasy XIV by Yoichi Wada (who was serving as CEO of Square Enix at the time), few could’ve imagined all the things he had in mind.

It’s all we’ve been seeing for the last year-and-a-half now. COVID-19, this highly transmissive and rapidly evolving disease, has forced us to change the way we move, the way we think, the way we live.
