  • The Basics: Metal Slug

    Columns Columns by Stuart Gipp on Comments2

    We’ve all been there, gang. Sat in the local Quizno’s with a group of your closest friends, discussing the women (or men) you’ve slept with, the wacky antics in which you have participated, when all of a sudden—and without warning—your dearest friend suddenly pipes up.

  • Attack of the Clones: Sonic the Hedgehog (Part 2)

    Columns Columns by Stuart Gipp on Comments2

    Following last month's look at some of the more mediocre Sonic clones, let's take a look at the better ones. While the Sonic-esque elements are getting a little thinner on the ground, these games

  • The Anger Dome: Damnation

    Columns Columns by Michael Ridgaway on Comments1

    No, this isn’t a post about my anger about my eventual sentence to the lower reaches of Hell for all of my earthly transgressions (I’ve already accepted that as an unavoidable fact); this a rant about the new game Damnation by Blue Omega Entertainment. I was interested in this game for a while, ever since I … Continue reading "The Anger Dome: Damnation"

  • Gamer Girlfriend: The One Game I Will Never Play

    Columns Columns by Vangie Ridgaway on Comments2

    OK, so for anyone who knows me, it’s probably pretty apparent that the title of this article is something of a misnomer. The truth is, there are many games that I will never play, including first-person shooters, survival horror games, and anything that involves lots of timed minigames (I really hate that obnoxious little counter, always ticking down, mocking me as I try to perform its twisted little tasks).

  • … of the Month: Don’t be “That Guy”

    Columns Columns by Matt Gardner on Comments1

    This may be a stretch, but I assume that a large percentage of our readers and writers are into videogames. That being so, I assume that, at one point or another, you’ve all run into gamers that have certain habits that just grind on your nerves whenever you play with them.

  • Oh, the Humanity!: The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy

    Columns Columns by Michael Gray on Comments2

    Hello everyone, and welcome to “Oh, the Humanity!” As the byline says, this is a column about videogame-based movies and, um, books? Books. OK, well, I don't want the byline to be a liar, so I went to my local library and picked up the first videogame book I could find:

  • Mid-Boss: The Mid-Boss Summer Awards

    Columns Columns by Stuart Gipp on Comments1

    Ah, summer—Mid-Boss doesn’t know (or care) about you, but summer always puts him in the mood for some arbitrary award-giving. There’s been a lot of upheaval in the videogame industry since last July, and it’s time for some light-hearted, bias-free, non-hyperbolic recognition of the products of such upheaval.
