Let the speculation begin… Where will President Barack Obama be portrayed next in comic book form now that he has declared his candidacy for the upcoming 2012 Presidential election?  Whether it will be Sarah Palin’s “milk shake” that brings Obama back to her yard (Archie #616) or a splendid Seal Team 6 transformation that leaves Special Forces Obama in Abbottabad performing a fatality on terrorist demagogue OBL (loosely, Savage Dragon #145),... 

Can gamers get laid for being good at their respective game? Now granted after seeing shows like WCG Ultimate Gamer I do believe that gamers in high level competition can be attractive. Given the surety that anything that can make you famous will come with a good number of groupies and fanbois, I don’t believe the thought to be far-fetched. Now we already know that there are a ton of fanbois that worship the master of their current gaming focus,... 

If we had the answer to this question then the top fighters would be more than just a handful. What I CAN tell you is what makes a bad fighting game player and it is from observance and experience with fighting games for over 20 years (I’m old) that has given me this opinion. In the arcade there was always 2-3 badasses and a whole host of wannabes. The badasses always won and if they lost it was quickly forgotten because it more often than... 

According to Bioware Mass Effect 3 will have no new love interests but will give us the chance to rekindle old flames or continue on with our lover from Mass Effect 2. The crew will be together but only a select few will be official sqadmates, some will have areas that you get to link back up with them but it won’t be this huge fellowship on the Normandy like we assumed it would be. PC Gamer had an interview with Casey Hudson of Bioware (read... 

It’s been a while since I poked around the Playstation Store looking for an excuse to burn my well-earned coin, and I haven’t logged into Playstation Home since a year back when some “chick” avatar tried to solicit sex from me. These days the Playstation 3 has been getting a ton of use from yours truly but not for gaming… no I have my Frankenstein PC for that (pets the Mass Effect 2), I use my PS3 for Netflix. Not too... 

All of us SWG Vets love to reminisce on the original Star Wars MMORPG. To the outsider it would seem like it was the god of all MMO’s and perfect in every single way. One thing that we tend to do as fans however, is to hold on to the positives and forget that the negatives ever existed. People act as if the NGE was the only downside to the old game and are now hesitant to try Bioware’s The Old Republic in fear of it being nothing like... 

Two types of girls play MMORPGs: The attention whore who soaks up all the nerd love that she can handle knowing that us losers will never be able to touch her warm, smooth skin and the regular girl who only wants to have fun without the sexual lusting. This article is about the latter. I remember that day when the little elven maiden followed me around for 3 hours to escape her stalker. She had her AFK (Away from Keyboard) tag up and was talking... 

So Mass Effect 3 is due out later this year and the biggest questions for fans is who will return to be at Shepard’s side? There has been some info leaked and for myself I was happy to hear that the poetry reading, complicated, space marine, Ashley Williams (or Kaiden for you ladies) will be back to help save earth with Shepard. It made me wonder whether Miranda and Ashley could co-exist on the same ship. The fighting between Jack and Miranda... 

For those of you that are worried that The Old Republic will be another disappointing MMO experience, a source close to 3GK sat down with me and explained her experience within the beta in detail. From what The Source told me (she’s an MMO veteran like yours truly), the only thing that you will need to worry about in the upcoming game is the ire of your girlfriend or wife as you get sucked away into it without the will to return. The Source is... 

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 uber-competitive...
