Videogame documentary Gamer Age pays homage to the classics

I was never cool enough to own a game console when I was young, my parents barely let me watch MTV. My exposure came from going over friends house’s and playing Contra and Gauntlet for hours on end, but then I would have to go home and that made me sad. At night I would

Dark Horse Comics releases “The Art of BIOSHOCK:INFINITE”

I’ve no doubt that Bioshock contains some amazing gameplay, but first person shooters always make me nauseous, which is why I’ve never played it and too bad because the concept art in the Bioshock games are outstanding! Since arriving on the scene back in 2007, Bioshock has become a cult favorite among gamers. True fans

The OFF BOOK series presents The Rise of Competitive Gaming & E-Sports

Since I’m on a roll with these Off Book episodes, let me go on ahead and post another one for you. This one talks about the monster that is E-Gaming. From Street Fighter and Call of Duty to World of Warcraft  and League of Legends, there’s no denying how far we’ve come in truly interactive/competitive e-gaming.

‘Don’t Starve’ this holiday season…seriously, don’t

From the makers of the well-received brawlers Shank and Shank 2 comes a game of survival that is both eerie and kind of charming.

The next development in the Animal Crossing series, which is to be released in the U.S. sometime next year, may have that level of newness that long-time fans want. A new U.S. trailer was released on October 25, though we have already seen much of what is in store for the new game in the

‘Dead Island: Riptide’ preview and trailer for the April 23, 2013 release

The trailer for the original, Dead Island, I believe is accountable for at least half of the 4 million copies of the game sold.  It’s fantastic and kept me in anticipation to finally play the game for months.  Riptide‘s trailer doesn’t have quite the same intensity, yet is worth the price of admission.  Which is free.  Check

Awesome trailer for the Transformers videogame Fall Of Cybertron

I’m digging this trailer for the new video game Transformers:Fall Of Cybertron for one reason and one reason only. They look like the Transformers from the eighties, the ones I grew up with and not those metallic insects Micheal Bay has given us three times no less. If I was a hardcore gamer I would’ve
