There is a big misconception about video games that may never be clarified. Not all games are the same. My mom used to think that there were two types of games: Mario and others where you kill people. (That later changed with Left 4 Dead and created the category “others where you kill zombies”). Violent video games exist; they can look beautiful like Battlefield 3 or creepy and gory like Killing Floor. But just because SOME games have blood, curse words, critical combos and big boobs, doesn’t mean ALL of them do.

Video games ARE art. Next topic, please!

Formula for success!
Hey, it worked...
In a world where everything has been said and done, where media is transforming and the entertainment industries need to come up with new ideas to survive, it's hard for a newcomer to succeed. When it comes to videogames, it's pretty much the same.
But there are some people and companies who have beat the odds and made it to the top, and one of the is Rocksteady Studios.

How to LAN party and not get (too) fat
Thanksgiving is coming and most of us have a long weekend ahead to play all day and night. But we all know what happens there: FOOD. Delicious and fatty food. Good thing this happens once a year... No, it doesn't. Christmas is the same thing a couple of months later. What's a gamer to do? If you absolutely can't exercise (which you TOTALLY should), at least you can try to eat better the rest of the year.

BF3 for first timers (and girls!)
Last night I played Battlefield 3 like most people, but I won't give you a review like most people. BF3 is my first multiplayer FPS ever. The 3 hours I have on Team Fortress 2 don't count at all.
If you want BF3 reviews because you can't get enough of Battlefield, the franchise you've been playing since you're 11 and taught you valuable life lessons like teabagging and how awesome the BF Vietnam soundtrack is, better go somewhere else.
But if what you want to play BF3 and have no idea if you should, this review is for you! (That rhymes, but the rest of the post won't)

Battlefield is out!
And with great reviews. I might write one of my own tonight. For now, I'll leave you with this.
Unrelated, but I thought it was cute. So everyone, be friends, stop complaining or shut up <3
