After finding a compilation of my all-time favorite arcade games, I quickly realized that playing a classic is not the same as experiencing one.
The PS2 is not dead. It's preparing for a comeback! How? Oh, you won't get it that easy. Read on!
It seems like every Max Payne project introduces a completely different looking Max Payne. You know, someone should really chronicle this...
Okay, I'll do it!
As many saw Kentia Hall as an insignificant page on an otherwise voluminous E3, I want to redirect the spotlight to the place where Robosapien, Classic Gaming Expo, Lineage, and Guitar Hero were born. Please enjoy.

How does the Bioshock 2 demonstration resemble a Scooby Doo episode? What does a Department Store have to do with scripted events? Let's see if I can convince you.

Thanks for saying this, John, because this was/is my main peeve about the industry. r n r nI 've always thought that Marketing should be the horse to a cart, but it doesn 't seem to work that way anymore. I think times were better when games were some nebulous ...
