Steam's new tags system is already overrun with trolls
Earlier today, Steam introduced a new community-driven tag system. It’s hard to say if Valve, the mega-corporation that runs the marketplace, did this as a direct response to the ridiculous number of titles available. But if used properly, tags certainly could help alleviate the problem.

Nintendo fans, mark your calendars for May 20, 2014. As Nintendo announced yesterday, that's the last day you'll be able to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to play hundreds of online games on the Wii and Nintendo DS.

Why You're Going to Suck At Oculus Rift and Virtual Reality
Everyone loves to talk about the Oculus Rift, but are we going to be TERRIBLE at virtual reality? For most of us, the answer is probably yes. The footage of Oculus Rift looks crazy and amazing, and we can't wait.

The Competition Is As Fake As The Blood: Why New Video Games Are Always The Same Price
Video games have gotten ridiculously predictable. Not in stories, writing, or mechanics (although sometimes those, too) but in release, pricing, and distribution.

Why It's A Good Thing the Best Games of 2013 Aren't Perfect
So last month I was browsing through GameInformer’s top 50 games of 2013 and I must say there were some pretty good titles in there. Despite titles such as Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us, which are damn good games that have been collecting multiple awards recently, there was something about them that didn’t make me feel that they were…perfect.
