Hey everybody!  Welcome to a new series, here at EDG, called Everyday MODders.  This is a segment where we'd like to feature some of the better MODs that we've come across, during our playtime, and those that we highly recommend.  Now, we can't play every game and every mod, so if you see something you think is worthy of a feature, shoot me a message at chris@everydaygamers.com. For now,... more.

Tonight in Los Angeles was Treyarch's big reveal party for their upcoming Call of Duty title, Black Ops.  During the event (which I believe is still going on as I write this) they showed some new and exciting changes for their next installment that is sure to excite fans of the game.  So instead of me rambling on, let me tell you some of the things you may have missed. Treyarch understands th... more.

Am I the only one that thinks it ironic that a game/movie franchise centered around being pulled in computer systems has just thumbed it's nose at gamers who prefer that platform?  Tron has ... more.

Remember in my Summer of Arcade article where I said I was looking forward to Monday Night Combat more than any of the other games coming out, including Hydro Thunder Hurricane? The only problem with the game was the timing of the release; having just picked up StarCraft II, I thought I was going to have a hard time playing enough of Uber Entertainment's XBLA offering to give it a proper review an... more.

Have you ever had a dream that felt so real but you couldn't remember it enough to explain it?  That's kind of how my experience felt while playing Limbo.  The masterminds behind the eerie world that is Limbo, are a company called "Playdead" who is based out of Copenhagen, Denmark.  While this may be the teams first project together, it definitely does not show.  Playdead is now a studio that ... more.

Been wondering about the games in this year's XBOX Live Summer of Arcade? Maybe you wanted to know if any of them were really going to be worth the hassle of getting MS points to purchase. If only there was someone who got a chance to try games who could advise you on what he thought of them. Oh wait, there is. I got to play all but one of them at E3, and the one I did not get to play is about ... more.

We are 19 days away from one of the biggest PC gaming launches in PC games history - Starcraft II : Wings of Liberty.  The recent peaks and valleys associated with Blizzard and it's Real ID implementation may seem to challenge of delay that glorious release.  So, if you've been living under a rock, or not following PC gaming news, let me get right to the point. Real ID, Calling Gamers Out. Lik... more.

As we all know and heard from E3 this year, EA has released a multiplayer beta for the PC, PS3, and the Xbox 360.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on the beta for the PS3, and honestly I was quite impressed on what I've played.  After 4 hours or so of play time, I am ready to give my impressions of EA's Medal of Honor, which could be its last chance to redeem itself. As soon as I started m... more.

Those of us reading this article are probably not unlike myself--a listener of gaming podcasts, subscriber of gaming feeds, avid player, article reader, video game junkie.  Maybe, unlike me, you have never stopped and thought how crazy our hobby is.  I've heard there is no one that hates their own hobby more than gamers, and I can't disagree.  A quick look at the venom spewing on any gaming for... more.

Anyone who looks at my top games of all time will see Fable II sits rather prominently on that list. When I did my "30 Reviews in 30 Days," I had mentioned I might even consider it my favorite game of all time, though it may have been supplanted by Mass Effect 2. While the game was almost unanimously praised by critics, there was one part of it many felt was a let down: the ending. So just what... more.

We've been waiting a very long time for Alan Wake. Heralded as a corner stone of Microsoft's original IP, Alan Wake has appeared and reappeared on the radar of gamers so many times that most didn't believe when a firm release date was set. Well rest your weary heads because Alan Wake has been released to the public and we can all finally experience was Remedy studios have been crafting all these y... more.

We will be using CoverItLive for ... more.

Summer is almost here.  Tanning on the beach, soft sand, foamy ocean waves....well, unless you are on the Gulf Coast.  Pool parties, Bar-B-Q's, catching fireflies and roasting marshmallows.  Excited?  Me either, all that stuff makes me shudder--jellyfish stings, sunburn, sand in crevices, vacuuming the pool, chlorine stinging your eyes, who needs it?  Thank goodness we can fire up our PC'... more.

The biggest RTS in the making, Starcraft II : Wings Of Liberty, will touch down on PC's this July 27th, and we were lucky enough to get some playtime in the beta.  Have you jumped in yet?  Can you still Zerg rush?  How is Battle.Net 2.o? Are there any new features, or is this just a prettier same old ball of Zerg wax?  We'll try to answer all your questions in our hands-on review of the Starcr... more.

This early in the iPad's life it's hard to find any apps worth your while. I've come up with a list of ten iPad apps that I find to be real winners and I thought it would be a good idea to share them you with you. You know the best thing about it? They are all free. 10. Goby - Goby is a great app to find things going on locally. It takes your current location and shows you activities and places... more.

When I first heard of EA's "Project Ten Dollar", I was a little skeptical. Some time has passed since it's inception, and given the mediocrity of day one DLC and pre-order bonuses, I've been less then satisfied with the fruits of the "Project Ten Dollar" tree. It's completely understandable why a consumer would want to save money by purchasing products used, but at the same time it's understandabl... more.

There is a debate raging in the gaming community right now. Everywhere you look, gamers and those who do not play are arguing over whether or not there is such a thing as gaming addiction. The studies are inconclusive; every time you hear about a study backing the existence of video game addiction, you find numerous stories debunking it. Even gamers seem to be split on the issue; while many want t... more.

We've all been there. You are having an honest conversation with someone about the strengths of the various consoles. Maybe a friend has come to you for advice on which would be best for them, or you and your coworkers are talking about what you like and do not like about that. Suddenly someone steps up and says something that just makes you cringe. "Yeah, but you don't want to own a 360. Every... more.

On April 14th, the gaming community was shocked when two Official Xbox Magazine covers showed up revealing 2K Marin's new project-a revival of a 17 year old PC strategy game that graces every 'Top Games of All Time' list - X-Com : Ufo Defense.  Apparently, losing the hyphen, was not the only change the game has undergone.  The blogs and forums of every gaming community lit up like the Rockefelle... more.

Picture this: you have dedicated several hours to your latest gaming endeavor. Each battle has been getting harder; each step has put you that much closer to that final battle, just you versus your nemesis. You come to that ending, expecting it to be the culmination of all the time you have put into the game. Then it happens: a lackluster battle against a boss weaker than many of the ones you have... more.
