Diablo 3 has become a game about gold. Its endgame, with the auction house at its heart, is about slow, incremental progression, cash runs and repeated boss raids. It relies on grind-heavy objectives that feel very different to the rush of new skills I enjoyed on the journey to level 60. An action RPG has a natural shelf life. Some will get everything they want from a single playthrough, others when they hit sixty, and others when... 

In somewhat recent years, there was a campaign of anti-smoking commercials from BecomeAnEx.org, and I loved them. It was the first time I felt like someone really discovered the secret to quitting smoking, and offered it from a sympathetic perspective, with a sense of humor and a sincere desire to help smokers. I have seen many commercials against smoking over the years. Some have tried fighting cigarettes by unveiling statistics... 

With an argument for the sexy, we should be able to agree with the title of this article being that female armor in fantasy has always been midriff and boobs over protection. Still even with the amount of skin shown on women in fantasy games, movies and comic books, we have women such as the beloved Red Sonja (pictured above) fighting several men while receiving minimum damage and maximum protection. Well maybe Sonja is a bad... 

While smashing down buttons on your controller, have you ever wondered what it would be like to play the very game that you are playing with entirely different graphics? Maybe it would change the mood. Maybe it would make it better to play. Perhaps you wouldn’t even play it in the first place. Think about chess. One of my friends has Simpsons themed chess pieces. It makes the game more casual, and you can’t really be... 

When it comes to innovation in gaming handheld and video games in general, Nintendo is the name that most gamers should watch out for. Nintendo, which was founded more than 100 years ago as a card game company, is on a technological race with other companies lately. They invented the Nintendo Wii with the revolutionary motion control scheme. Just recently, Nintendo created the next generation of portable handheld console called... 

The Xbox 360 has been around for a long time now and gamers have been extremely happy with the controller. After all, it was a huge upgrade from the original Xbox controllers and is the best ergonomically designed out of all controllers I have used. Razer has entered the Xbox 360 controller market for the first time with their latest product: the Razer Onza. From looking at it, it just looks like a normal Microsoft Xbox 360... 

Television, movies, and video games have been restricted to the 2D world for a long time, but it seems they have served their time and are being released into the 3D world. 3D movies have been constantly improving in quality for the past few years and have done so well that TV is following in those footsteps. Plasma, LCD, and even LED TVs were just not enough, now the consumer has a hunger for the next evolution of the screen;... 

There is a definite stigma attached to video games as being a waste of time, parents are consistently complaining about their child spending too much time zoned into a game and “neglecting” the real world. However, the medical community has recently proposed and conducted studies that might prove otherwise. Gaming may now be seen and is currently used to help treat symptoms of ADHD, improve vision and reaction... 

Since the music and movie industry were hit hard by the internet bootleggers, most of the money is now being made in video games. This is not too say that video games are not shared online, but they are shared a bit less as people can not figure out how to make these copies playable on certain new systems. The PlayStation 3 even though it is one of the most popular systems out has virtually zero losses due to piracy. This...

The video game became more accessible after the personal computer became a household appliance. The console also developed simultaneously. A console is a device that is used to play video games. Both PCs and consoles are popular depending on the country....
