I’ve always preferred Alliance for aesthetic reasons. Not only do I consider the races more “attractive” but the cities in the Eastern Kingdoms are nicer as well. That being said, I tried out playing Horde and found it to be an equally interesting experience. The races are definitely far more...

At the moment I’m trapped between Kerbal Space Program and Stardew Valley. I’ve kind of grown tired of fast paced first person shooters and action RPG’s, so I decided to turn to games that I can play at a slower, more relaxed pace. Both Kerbal Space Program and Stardew Valley help get some of...

I’d probably say that RuneScape was the first game that I ever really got addicted to. It was a moderately popular MMORPG in the mid-2000’s, so a lot of people actually aren’t even familiar with it. In any case, it was a browser-based MMORPG and the gameplay was not unlike World of Warcraft...

Oh man, this is such a difficult choice. I have to ask myself if I want to be the tough and gruff hero type, with a dark and depressing history like Solid Snake, or a happy-go-lucky plumber like Mario. After giving it some thought, I realized I’d like to be Nathan Drake. I always admired...

I think that all games have some degree of benefit for our brains, but to what degree is most likely going to vary from genre to genre. For one thing, studies have shown that all games help in enhancing hand-eye coordination and reaction time. However, running around in Grand Theft Auto and...

Out of the consoles I see there, I’ve played the: Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation One, and PlayStation 2. Out of all of those consoles, I’d have to say that my favorite is probably the Super Nintendo. It just brings back the fondest...

If the reviews are generally good enough, then I’ll typically just buy a game. I used to rent video games when I was a kid, because my family was too poor to afford to just buy every new game that came out. Even though we’re in a better financial situation these days, I still don’t typically buy...

I think that the severity of video game addiction varies depending on the region. I think that most Western countries don’t really have such serious issues with video game addiction. Most people play video games at the same rate that others watch television or read novels, which are all simply...

I used to be mainly into FPS games when I was a teenager. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo; those were my games of choice. Then as time went on, I found it hard to keep up with the fast-paced action of FPS games. Online multiplayer shooters became all about twitch shooting and reaction timing...

Oh man, given that there isn’t any internet connection, this makes this choice way harder. I was going to go with World of Warcraft since that game takes so much grinding, but without an internet connection, any MMORPGs go right out the window. In any case, I suppose I would still go with some...

Transitioning from consoles to PC and thinking the graphics might not be as good is like transitioning from a Honda Civic to a Ferrari and thinking that the Ferrari might not be as fast. My friend, PC games are the pinnacle of graphics technology, and consoles will never be able to out do them...

I honestly can’t remember the very first PC game I played, as I think that I was still barely forming memories at that point. I think it was some sort of Space Quest game, but I can’t really remember which one. The one that I remember more clearly was the PC port of the Sonic and Knuckles Sega...

The first Grand Theft Auto game I ever played was Grand Theft Auto III, and I think it’s the only GTA game that I never actually completed. I was something like 9 years old at the time, and I just didn’t have the attention span to go through every single level and play the game to completion...

I can’t say that I’m competitive on a personal level. What I mean by this is that it matters more to me that the team wins, not so much that I make it first place. Sure, it’s nice to be on top of the leaderboards for your team, but what’s the point if you end up on the losing team? I just try...

As a traditional gamer, I honestly have to say that PC gaming is the way to go for me. Call it arrogance, call it what you will, but I just can’t ever catch myself saying “Hey, I want to play a mobile game.” It’s a very elitist way of saying things, but I often feel like mobile gaming is for...
