Struggling against his mass, I gripped onto him as best I could until I was thrown into the metal towel bar. I deflated as it dug into my back...but it was enough for everyone to get away. Many of the most vivid memories from my childhoo...

My knees are close to being useless; the cartilage has all but left me, and arthritis plagues me. Even though the injuries keep me at a lower level than what I used to be at years ago, I can still play a great game of soccer. That’s kind...

NHL 12 does something quite unique that sports games don't normally let you do. It allows you to create female pros. This doesn't happen too often, and sometimes it's because the leagues the games are made to represent won't allow it -- bu...

I spent more than 100 hours playing Borderlands. That's partly because I am obsessed with it. I now find myself returning to the title once again. This time I'm doing so with an old friend who just discovered the unique shooter after readi...

Tom Lipschultz is Xseed’s resident translator for the Japanese developer Falcom, makers of the Ys RPG series, and the newest addition to their localization team. I had a chance to chat with him about what it’s like to localize niche role-pl...

I haven’t enjoyed a FIFA game this much since the GameCube days. I’ve kept up with the series since then, but have always found it lacking when it came to gameplay. And honestly, FIFA 2011 for Wii plays more like a Major Le...

Unlike the last three Front Mission releases, I didn't buy the newest title as soon as it hit store shelves. As far as I’m concerned -- as well as my RPG obsessed friends -- the Front Mission series is dead. The newest title, Front Missio...

As someone who grew up with technology and always had the latest gaming systems (I’ve waited in line during system launches in good ol’ Wisconsin winter weather) one would think I’d be a little more accepting of it. However, I’m more akin ...

David Gaider did a little Q&A today at PAX--streamed via Ustream Live on BioWare's website--and showed viewers his eyebrow waggle while answering some burning questions about the sequel to Dragon Age: Origins. After starting out with an ...

Since there is a meth forum this week to help curtail and hopefully eradicate the use of the drug in my small Alaskan community, I thought I’d write about something that may be beneficial to parents. My topic is video game violence. Actu...

This is more of a just letting you guys know type of deal instead of writing it out nicely for you to read. I'm sneaking onto Dtoid at work, and to be honest, if it ain't the Old Republic, I could care less. But maybe some interested folks ...

First off, I fricking love Monday Night Combat. I didn't think I would when I first saw it, but after downloading it the day it hit Xbox Live Arcade and playing until 4 a.m. when I had to be into work at 8 a.m., it's safe to say I'm hooke...

Writer's note: This is the third and final part of my interview with David Gaider. David Gaider is a senior writer for BioWare, and has worked with the company since 1999. He was lead writer for Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening. The Ed...

Writer's note: For a brief introduction of Mr. Gaider visit Part I from yesterday. What influences you creatively? Oof, that’s a big question. There are a lot of things that can influence me. I read books. I mentioned off hand on the (Bi...

Hydro Thunder Hurricane is like Las Vegas in a way. I’ve never been there, but I imagine eye-catching glitz and fast-paced fun that is over all too quickly. Hurricane nails all three of those perfectly. At its core the arcade inspired ...

The English versions of both the Mega Man and Proto Man Kubrick and 1Up [email protected] sets were made available earlier this week on the Capcom web store. Each set costs $40 ($36 if ordered during the sale), and only 500 are available excl...

Mountain Dew has revealed its plan to supply gamers with more than a caffeine high for popping strangers off via headshots come September. The popular soft drink will join up with Microsoft and Doritos to celebrate the launch of Halo: R...
