I'd like to say good gameplay is the cornerstone for a good game, but there are definitely other factors that need to support the gameplay itself. Basic functionality, few bugs, good controls, story, plot, etc are all integral to make each other feature truly shine. Some games that try to focus...

The first game I ever played was Aladdin on the Sega Mega Drive. I remember spending a ridiculous amount of time on that game, from realizing that you can could jump on the tops of palm trees, to finally pulling off that retractable stone portion of the prison level, to finally beating the game...

Between me and my friends, we'll usually trash talk each other through skype when we play a game. Because we know each other well enough to know what truly offends each other, slinging insults and jokes is usually just a way to relieve stress and build camaraderie. When playing with strangers...

I've said it before: CS:GO is incredible. Every movement must be calculated and thought about. Firefights are short and brutal, and the co-operation of your team is a must. Combined with the beautiful feel of the guns, CSGO is so satisfying to play, whether it be GG or Demo or Classic...

I think that as voice chat becomes more and more integrated with online gaming, we as a community are just going to have to accommodate younger gamers. Granted, they might be annoying at times, but that's nothing some decent parenting shouldn't fix. As for the issue of younger children playing...

Co-ordination, mindgames, reflexes, logical reasoning, useless general knowledge, typing speed, the list goes on and on. The most valuable thing I've learnt from video games is probably the ability to effectively evaluate situations, and then act on my judgement. I find that I'm much more...

Begone is pretty good, I've sunk a few hours into it. Like you guys, I was also obsessed with Runescape and Neopets when I was younger. Now though, the extent of my browser gaming is focused mostly on incremental games, like Clicker Heroes or Cookie Clicker. I don't need much time to play these...

I just got CS:GO from the Steam sale, and I quite like it. I was god-awful at CSS, opting to stay in GG servers, but this time I started playing the game properly. The fact that you have one life per round makes everything incredibly tense and high stakes, with one good AK shot being able to...

My pick would have to be Papers, Please. I'm quite sure that that's the only 'Dystopian Document Thriller' on the market. It seems trivial and gimmicky at first, but I've never been so on the edge of my seat due to a bureaucracy. Other good mentions are of course: KSP, Goat Simulator, and so on...

Racing and platformers are the bane of my existence, though I love both genres to bits. I also seem to have the reflexes of a geriatric giraffe, so FPS games are also not my forte. Doesn't mean i don't play them though! Never let it be said that Victerion backed down from a game because he was...

Since the release of Lords of the Fallen, AC:Unity, Watchdogs and other, buggy messes, many people have criticized developers for pumping out sequels/games that lack basic bugfixes/features that should've already been included in the original game. Many of these titles have failed to live up the...

As I get busier, it feels like I have less and less time to just sit down and play a game. Gone are the days of grinding a character till the early rays of the morning, or ranking in Starcraft. Although I still do these things in some form, it's never the same intensity. It's a weird Catch-22 -...

i've always been fond of MMORPG's especially when you get a good group of friends/guildmates going. there's something incredible about being able to jump into a game, and instantly chat with people all across the globe. and when you pull of a perfect raid, of pvp plan, the feeling camaraderie is...

I think it's a mix of the two. I remember the Summer Sale in 2012 was absolutely amazing. the badge was quite fun to craft, as it wasn't just pressing a button every day, and plus you could get items for other games by completing activities and achievements. Flash sales were also every 8 hours...

I've been jumping into CS:GO recently, and it's quite fun. I'm constantly amazed at the small nuances that make some players incredible, and the deliciously complex strategy behind the game itself. Like many others, I've also been shackled by the beast that is League of Legends, but I've slowly...

This might be putting on the rose-tinted glasses, but for me, TES IV: Oblivion would be the game I'd pick. It was the first quote unquote 'Free will, open world do-whatever-you-want game' I'd ever seen, and I fell in love with it instantly. I remember finishing every side quest in every city and...
