The Truth About Video Games (Inside Video Games)


batman,robin,DC,gotgameHoly space time continuum Batman! Someone decided to destroy all rules and put a video game in the most dastardly place of all time. Where in Tom’s name is that you ask?

The most obvious place of ever, in video games themselves. As if you needed another game to bide your time with while already playing a game. Well, to each there own, I suppose.

Honestly, there are more games inside of video games than most of us realize. Rockstar, for instance, is notorious for placing bland satirical cabinet games inside of their controversial endeavors.

Games Mother Will Love (or Hate)


Judy Jetson gotgameMother’s Day is a holiday to celebrate the ones that brought us into this world. They may have done your laundry at one point, cooked you meals, tucked you in at night, and…
given you shit about your gaming habits.

From the cussing, extreme violence, and over-the-top sexiness of female characters (almost as sexy as your mom, heh), there is plenty for yo’ mama to hate about games.

 Mom jokes aside, let us outline some games that mothers everywhere will hate, some they will love, and a little extra on the side.

Rockstar Gives Gamers a Late Valentines Present


With the upcoming release of the Xbox 360 Grand Theft Auto IV expansion, The Lost and Damned, Rockstar is celebrating by giving players a bit of a gift. Starting at 9am (PST) on February 17th, players of both the original GTA IV and The Lost and Damned will be presently surprised to find that they do not need an Xbox LIVE Gold membership to play online with friends. This free service will only last for six days; however, the official end time for the free service is February 22nd at 11:59pm (PST). This is just long enough to get yourself re-hooked on the game and make you want to renew your Gold membership.

If you think that’s not enough, there will also be special events based around GTA IV and its expansion throughout the week as well. Including, but not limited to, a chance “Game With Fame” with Hip Hop DJ and producer Statik Selektah, being able to play GTA IV with some of the minds behind the game, an “Xbox All Nighter”, and multiple sweepstake promotions. For more information on the events and six free days of online multiplayer in GTA IV and it’s new expansion, check out the official website.

The Top 5 Video Game Badasses


The term “badass” has been thrown around way too much in recent years, commonly used to describe someone who is able to beat up others in a stylistic fashion. This is wrong. This ability only makes someone “bad,” “tough,” or “Vin Diesel,” and frankly this type of action hero is a dime a dozen. No…to be considered a true “badass,” much more emphasis must be placed on the “ass.”

But beware: if there’s anything that video games have taught us, it’s not to go anywhere unprepared (especially if ghouls are involved). The following are five locations you may be better off avoiding during your hunt for free sugar, but in case you do end up waltzing through these neighborhoods, I’ll offer some advice on how to make your trip a treat, even in the trickiest of situations…

And with all the controversy stirred by GTA IV, of course Saints Row 2 should be the center of media controversy already. By nature, the “violent” video games are condemned by many conservatives, but there’s something about the GTA and Saints Row series that really seems to annoy a portion of the population. So what is it this time?
