When asked about a traumatic memory involving entertainment media from their childhood, Millennials will invariably recount the same events: the death of Artax in The Neverending Story, the ending of The Fox and the Hound, and pretty much every episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

Discord has been a favorite communication tool for a vast majority of gamers as a way to keep in touch with friends, to build communities around games or genres, and to serve as a place for folks to gather and chat about a variety of gaming topics.

I consider myself a man of a few simple principles. I don’t have a lot of them, but I take pride in keeping my word on those I do. I’ve sworn off most fast food, I don’t drink alcohol before noon (unless I’m on vacation), I’ve never smoked and I swore to never, EVER purchase a Destiny 2 DLC.

One of the most surefire ways a game can stir up controversy nowadays is to bring into question the issue of historical authenticity. It seems like no other topic has the capacity to incite such an incendiary response from the gaming community…

If you’re like me and created your PSN ID in a rush so you could fire the system up and actually play games, then this news has been a long time coming. For years the loyal PlayStation fan base has clamored for the ability to change their PSN ID’s without having to create an entirely new account.

Despite being disappointed with the overall lack of change, I am quite fond of the character interactions that are now available.

Polybius is quite possibly the most well-known video game that no one’s actually ever played.

While Steve was at FIG Fest he was able to catch up with Bennett Tyler, the Co-Founder of Bomb Shelter Games, and the creator of Depths of Sanity. Bennett discusses the inspiration for the game, what the creative process has been like, and when we can expect to get our hands on a copy.

Back in 1999, one of the best racing games ever developed was released concurrently with the move from which it took its inspiration: yes, I’m speaking of Star Wars Episode I: Racer.

Andrzej Sapkowski, author of The Witcher series of books, has threatened legal action against CD Projekt Red for a perceived lack of financial compensation after the massive success of the video game adaptation of his source material.

About a month ago I was in search of some video game events happening in and around the Boston area. Naturally I turned to the old Google machine to aid in my quest for fun-filled gaming events. Low and behold one of the first results to turn up was FIG Fest 2018 being held on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
