Another year has almost passed us by, and what better way to celebrate than by throwing my "best of" list in the piles of posts and videos that you're probably sick of by now. Still, even if I'm late to the game, I still like to share my lists each year. In 2012, I was …

Excuse the hippy rant, but this is something I feel strongly about. My mission statement, if you will. Gamers unite.

Gaming is a medium that transcends race and religion, breaks down cultural walls and language barriers and brings people together from all over the world to enjoy it in unison.

The summer drought continues with Halo 3! Time to work the back catalog!

Summer is always a slow time for new releases, so I usually spend it catching up on my back catalog rather than picking up whatever comes out. This works out perfectly for obvious reasons as the end of the year not only brings a massive amount of new games, but this year will present the …

Interested in some 8 or 16-bit sprites? Let me know!
