About

Welcome to GameCola.net: your source for gaming outside the mainstream. Here at GameCola, we review and debate the weird, the appalling, the underappreciated, and the independent. The titles you’ve never heard of—and the ones you’ll wish you were already playing. We are the island of misfit games.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Why would we—approximately 25 (very) attractive young men and women—bother making a website about games nobody’s played? Are we some kind of videogames hipsters? Do you need to punch us? No (although we do happen to boast some of the best beards in gaming); we’re just tired of talking about games like Call of Duty and God of War, and we figure you’re tired of hearing about them, too. Leave that to the bigger sites, with their fancy layouts and millions of readers. Let the Joystiqs and Kotakus of the world talk about the games you already know inside and out; come to GameCola when you’re ready to hear something different.

We’re posting new articles constantly; we put out a new podcast on the first Sunday of every month; and we have a YouTube page where we record excellent videogame playthroughs, and then ruin them by adding terrible jokes. Stay updated! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter! Tell your friends! (Please. Tell them. I’m serious.)
