So I wanted to take a minute to reflect, not on what 2009 has brought to the gaming table, but on what this current generation has ushered into gaming, and discuss on whether it was going to bring better or worse issues to gaming.  We've all been there - comfy chair, cold beverage and a bag of Cheetos on the end table all ready to settle into a night of fragging with our friends.  There's nothin... more.

2009 graced us with many great titles, but 2009 is gone. Let's take a look at what 2010 has in store for us. The writers of Everyday Gamers have each made a list of their top 6 most anticipated titles of 2010. Laren Hawkins: MGS: Peace Walker - Being the proud new owner of a PSP Go, I am really looking forward to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I have played the demo and while it is challeng... more.

It's that time of year. The time where everyone gets together and starts to put together their year in review articles and podcasts. If you caught podcast 41, you heard what we at Everyday Gamers feel were some fo the biggest news stories of the year. We have at least one more year in review podcast coming, but when it comes to these kind of lists, there is one that is expected from every video ga... more.

This is the third in our series of articles about GameStop. In the Case Against Gamestop articles, we explained from both a Customer and Employee perspective just why we at Everyday Gamers have taken such a strong stand against the company. The biggest video game retailer in North America has not exactly helped its case since then by breaking street dates on major holiday titles. If it was possibl... more.

Digital Distribution is definitely starting to be a new trend in gaming. However, unlike motion controls, I am more apt as a gamer to move with this trend. Digital distribution is not something new to the consumers however. The 360 uses it with movies, even Xbox originals. while there are very successful forms of digital distribution i.e. Steam, it can also be a gamble i.e. PSP Go. So what are our... more.

By now, you are probably aware of the controversy over street dates for games. Certain GameStops were ordered by their corporate office to break the November 10th street date for Modern Warfare 2, sighting retailers in the area who had already broken the sale date on what is expected to be the biggest game this year. Then last week, a few stores in Jersey City broke street date on Assassin's Creed... more.

Once in a while a game sneaks up on us that is a simple entrance into a somewhat crowded genre, and stands out so much so that it could go toe to toe with the heavy hitters it was not even meant to compete with.  Such is the case with Runic games release Torchlight, a cel shaded hack n slash RPG, in the vein of the Diablo franchise.  Torchlight retails for $19.99 and it is only available via Ste... more.

So you may have noticed a slight change to the site. The iPhone section has become m"Mobile." This is something I had asked Patrick to do. Why, you ask? Because iPhone is not the only smart phone out there with games and apps that have helped make it so much more than it is coming out of the box. As a matter of fact, there is one platform that is starting to take the cell phone market by storm.... more.

So we have come to the final review in the 30 Reviews in 30 Days series. While I have enjoyed writing these reviews, I am glad to be writing my final one tonight. It has bee a challenge getting these thirty reviews done, though these last five have been games I have been wanting to review for some time. And so it all comes to a close. When I started these reviews of my top 5 games, I said they ... more.

Let's play our own version of Desert Island. Let's supposed that Netflix decides to institute a new policy that reduces your streaming que to only 10 films, upon watching which your subscription will terminate. All of the sudden you can't just throw any old thing into your que so, the question is which 10 films are you going to watch. All of us would have our own answer to that question and nobody... more.

So I had asked for suggestions on games to review for the 30 Reviews in 30 Days. A couple of you gave some suggestions, and I do wish I had been in a position to do more of them. There is one game that was suggested to me I am getting the chance to review, however, and that is Audiosurf. Racing Puzzle Game set to Your Music The premise of Audiosurf is pretty simple. You choose a character to ra... more.

Tuck your pointy ears in your cap, dig in and sharpen those arrows, it's time to gear up in a rich turn-based strategy experience on the PC, but can you last to party with the elves or will you get crushed like an orc?  Paradox and 1C have created a new Strategy game entry called Elven Legacy.  The best way to illustrate how the game plays out is to take a hex-map Panzer game and plug in Elves f... more.

After a brief hiatus, the list returns with two film's that demonstrate the versatility and range of the Western, a Documentary that spans 4 years and a silent epic, 4000. After the Thin Man (1936) Though the series began to tire a little as it lost it's novelty in later sequels, the direct successor to The Thin Man followed in the footsteps of the original brilliantly, doing everything right as... more.

It's no secret if you have been following the podcasts that my all time favorite system was the Sega Dreamcast. It was short lived thanks to not having a DVD player among other things, but it had some amazing games. Part of the reason for this is it ran a variation of Windows, which made programing games for the system a snap. One of the reasons the Dreamcast is loved by old school gamers is the c... more.

Years have passed since Majesty graced PC's with a twist on RTS games that placed the player in control of a kingdom, charged with keeping it's citizens happy and safe and hiring heroes through guilds to conquer the land.  Majesty took gameplay elements from similar franchises like Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Maker(recently remade twice over for the PSP) and put the player in the role of the good ... more.

So week two of the 30 Reviews in 30 Days feature is now behind us. This is the half-way point: after today's reviews, I will have written half of the reviews I will end up writing for this feature. Before I get to a review I have been needing to write for a long time, let's take a quick look of last weeks games: Monday: Following my feature review of Damnation, I reviewed one of the most uniqu... more.

It's no secret I am a Street Fighter fan. Heck, I grew up playing all of the Campcom and SNK fighting games, including Dark Stalkers. I came to know several of the players and really reached a point where I could play pretty well with several of them. Still, nothing quite prepared my for that day I walked into the arcade in the Memorial Union at Arizona State University, looking at this strange... more.
