Are you a former Real Time Strategy head who got sobered by the many iterations of bad games that broke the classic “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” theory? Well Microsoft has announced that the king of all RTS games (Age of Empires II) will be blessed with a new HD version come April! Yes I am talking about THE Age of Empires II, a game that still gets played on LAN 8+ hours a week between myself and 7 other co-workers…... 

I used to play the original 1994 version of X-COM: UFO Defense and it was such a fun game. The thing I remember the most about it was the difficulty in keeping your soldiers alive from mission to mission due to the surprises that the aliens would bring. You would get attached to one guy because he made it through 3 missions, deck him out in all the best gear and then a brand new alien with mysterious tech would shoot through a wall... 

First Improve Upon The Questions That You Ask… What Class/Race Should I Pick? Many times while playing MMO’s I see this very question in General Chat. My question to those of you who ask this is, why do you want to be a “flavor of the month”? Do you know what happens to flavor of the month classes? They get nerfed into holy hell and become classes that take effort to win with. So why not pick a class that you actually like... 

Battlefield 3 is so dramatically different from the “fun” FPS games that I have played extensively in the past that it has become a bit of an obsession for me as of late. One of the main reasons is the difficulty factor in both the campaign and multiplayer modes (yes especially the evil co-op modes). In other games you can play the part of sniper, lay prone in some glitched up grass on high and pick off ignorant victims for... 

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... 

Although the series: Romance of the Three Kingdoms has gone on to make many sequels that have been for the most part successful, for me there is nothing like the crude original. While the original had it’s flaws and shortcomings, it was still one of the most fun forays into history that I’ve ever had in a video game. I think what I liked most about the original is that it got straight to the point. While many looked at... 

Well back again 3GKer’s after a long hiatus from a busted PS3 (may you R.I.P) to bring you information on the newly released Playstation Move. We are at a technological age where all things “gadget” run rampant across electronics stores. And with that comes the Playstation Move. For those who are unfamiliar, Sony hopped on the motion controller bandwagon with the inclusion of the Six Axis/Dual-Shock controller. While intuitive... 

Recently Bioware revealed some stats from the player base for Mass Effect 2 and it was disappointing to say the least, actually not disappointing more like typical. The majority of players seem to have treated Mass Effect 2 as some sort of mutated FPS as they skipped non-story elements, rushed through the game and picked only the soldier class. These numbers shown as a majority survey leads me to be worried for the future of games... 

The legend of Starcraft is back with Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. For a hardcore SC fan like me, who still played the 1998 version until 2009, this is a momentous occasion indeed. There was something that made the original stand out among other real-time strategy games. In its prime it was compared to games like Command and Conquer and Total Annihilation. This comparison was kinda like comparing the iphone to comparable phones:... 

If you’re one of the newcomers to the Street Fighter Universe or the fighting game genre in general, I can imagine how foreign the terms, attitude and playstyles are to you. Worst yet, you hear the hype of Street Fighter, purchase it and hop online for some fun only to have some jackass perfect you with Dan while laughing over his Bluetooth headset. Well in the past I provided a guide on training for fighting games but this was...
