Most people know what a fan of Guild Wars 2 I am, so when I saw the Rock the Nightmare video contest and how simple it was to enter I decided to create an entry and toss my hat into the ring. I don’t really expect to win, but it was just fun to put something together to pay a little tribute and be part of the Rock the Nightmare Music Video Contest. To commemorate … Read more
The Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming mouse is by far the best gaming mouse I have ever reviewed, it has 6 thumb buttons
Gamefly decided to ditch the steam like client application for operating systems and instead make their PC game distribution panel all web based, and thus Gamefly Digital was born. The site is fast loading and access to content is faster than the client ever was and I have seen a few new and great PC games added in their unlimited play menu finally. Though they still don’t have a ton of modern games, the fact … Read more

I spent many a night over the past week playing Elemental Kingdoms for iOS which is a new card based strategy game from publisher Perfect World Entertainment who is the same company that brought us The Secret World for the PC which is a fantastic horror themed MMO series. Elemental Kingdoms is similar to Orions and Orions 2 but without any structure or base building, the game is all about collecting cards, leveling them up … Read more
If you’re foreign to the cult classic DotA (Defense of the Ancients), a WarCraft minigame, you might still know about the popular MOBA, League of Legends. A MOBA is a multiplayer online battle arena – a more niche term crafted to categorize action real-time strategy games (ARTS) like StarCraft/WarCraft, and especially to help differentiate DotA as it evolved and competitors emerged. DotA developed by transitioning through the hands of various modders, ultimately granting popularity to … Read more

For those who may not know, Skylanders is big business. This console game is centered around action figures that you buy and sit on a USB portal which reads a chip in the action figure and makes the character appear in game. Each character has a little bit of memory so that it stores the characters level and gear on the character itself as well. Activision has made over $1 billion dollars with the Skylanders … Read more
I was contacted by Graphs.net who makes Infographics for websites and businesses and they wanted to showcase one of their latest Infographics about the Most Expensive Video Games in history. I found it interesting and wanted to share it with my readers, I knew that GTA V had a budget of over $200 million but stacked up against Hollywood films it is amazing just how much this game cost to produce and release to the … Read more
That’s right this is a video game contest not giveaway this time, as part of testing the new Gleam.io platform I decided to offer my readers a contest instead of a giveaway. A contest means that the winner will be the person who collects the most entries, it will not be a random draw and Gleam.io will collect all of the entries. Make sure you leverage the refer a friend entry option which is your … Read more
One of the things that have made video gaming difficult for me is that with many shooter games like Halo, Call of Duty, etc. I get very sick. So much so that I start to sweat, get dizzy and sometimes throw up. I really hate it, because some of the games my kids play look like fun. I have thought about taking pills to combat the motion sickness, but even the non-drowsy ones make me … Read more
Does Rockstar Games have what it takes to make a great game even better? Being a gamer there is always those special two or three game that I look forward to year after year.

Playing Diablo 3 on the Xbox 360 I realize just how great this game is on the console.
A few weeks back during the Anniversary sale on the Black Lion Trading Company I did spend some gems on a Molten Alliance Pick which is permanent and lets you harvest ore which is a fantastic item to have for your character if you do a lot of mining and want to stock up on Mithril, Iron, Copper or other ores. Unfortunately I found out after I had bought it that the item is soul … Read more

This is another Facebook game. and as you can see from my screenshot, I have done a little playing. I have around 6 trains with over 20 cars attached. I have 2 tracks and two streets in my town, and while this game is not the most exciting game I have played in a long while, it isn’t too bad either. The object as I have seen it so far is to build trains to … Read more
If you haven’t heard about Minecraft you either don’t have kids or don’t play games, this game is an obsession among my own kids who are 6 and 9 and especially my youngest one.
