  • What the Crap?: Silly Sports Scarcity

    Columns Columns by Mark Freedman on

    I know there isn't much sports chatter here @ GameCola, but sports games are a great chance for non-athletic types to juke, putt, dunk, slide tackle, punch, headbutt...whatever your taste may be. In the olden days, sports games weren't simulations; they were what started the idea of "arcade" style, meaning you could sit down with a group of people and play a sport in an unrealistic and fun way, but still stay true to the basic nature of the sport's rules.

  • Minus the Pudding: The Best of Xbox Live Indie Games

    Columns Columns by Paul Franzen on

    Early last week, GameCola reported on some new changes that Microsoft made to the Xbox 360 dashboard, in an effort to accommodate Kinect users, and slowly shift the balance of power over from actual gamers to casual gamers. THE END IS OF GAMING NIGH! In addition to enabling support for the Kinect, the new dashboard update made everything brighter, friendlier, and cleaner; allowed for easier access to ESPN (which I'm pretty sure you don't need an Xbox to watch); and, most importantly, it moved where you can find Xbox Live Indie Games on the 360.
