To be quite honest, I'm not entirely sure what makes Let's Players such as PewDiePie, Markiplier, or Jacksepticeye (among others) actually stand out. I've always found them to be pretty generic, with the exception of PewDiePie recently who has branched out and sort of been building his own...

There are two games I'm really looking forward to at the moment. The first of those is Assassin's Creed Origins. I didn't think that I would ever be excited for an Assassin's Creed game again after Ubisoft started putting them out in rapid fire mode, milking the series dry. But with this latest...

Well I don't play Xbox but we PC gamers have achievements on Steam as well, and PlayStation players have trophies. But going back to the question, no I generally don't play games with the intention of gathering achievements. If I happen to gather achievements along the way or a certain...

This is going to be a pretty generic answer that everyone and their grandmother would choose, but Pikachu. I was an absolutely massive fan of the Pokémon television show and video game series when I was a kid, and maybe it's because he is the mascot but I've loved Pikachu since the beginning. He...

While I do like pretty much every genre of games, I would have to say that my favorite is probably the open world RPG genre. One of the main reasons that I play video games to begin with is the fact that they are a great way to relieve stress and forget your troubles. The more immersive a game...

I just can't seem to be able to get into Twitch. For one thing all of my favorite Let's Play channels are on YouTube, and if any of the players are on Twitch it's typically just for some sort of special event or charity. Another thing is that I just don't find many of the personalities on Twitch...

I'm currently using Windows 8.1 because it's what my laptop came with, but Windows is all I've ever used anyway. I skipped the upgrade to Windows 10 and am not even considering it, since I've heard too many complaints from friends about compatibility with certain games, especially old school...

My current favorite is probably Stardew Valley. I'm generally kind of a stressed out and anxious person so I'm always looking to play some games that will generally mellow me out. Stardew Valley is a game that takes mellow to a whole new level and that's why I love it so much. It's a guaranteed...

I'd say, for me anyway, Doom 3 was scary because of the atmosphere. The new Doom is lit very well and there is practically no mystery to it or any real element of terror besides you fighting demons obviously. The thing with Doom 3 was I would play it alone in a dark room with headphones. So...

I don't think it was the worst flop by any means, but the most disappointing one for me was the death of the Dreamcast. I absolutely loved that console and had such high hopes for it after fantastic releases such as Power Stone 1 and 2, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue and Soulcalibur. I thought it was...

My very first game was Super Mario World for the SNES. I think that I had played Gradius 3 before that, but that was during a time before I could actually form memories yet. In any case, I was completely overjoyed with the concept of video games. It just seemed out of this world to me. It had...

So now that it's been out for quite a while and has generally received fantastic reception, any new opinions? I personally am a fan of both Doom 3 and the new Doom but for different reasons. Doom 3 was terrifying and felt like a survival horror game many times. You felt like you could be the...

I recently picked up Dark Souls 3 after having played and loved the first two games. However, I simply can't convince myself to finish it. It's been years since I played my last Dark Souls game, and all the conditioning I've built up after hours upon hours of practice is gone. Now that I've...

I consistently lose sleep over Civilization V, even after having logged hundreds of hours with it. Most Civilization players, no matter which installment you're playing, are more than familiar with the phrase "Okay, just one more turn and then I'm going to bed!" To be honest I don't even...

I'd really like to see a good open world, action-RPG that takes places in the Lord of the Rings universe. I'm not talking one in the style of Shadow of Mordor or the upcoming Shadow of War, those games have a far lesser emphasis on the "RPG" side of action-RPG. What I mean is a role-playing game...

See, were it the case that I had an actual rig (as in a desktop PC) that would definitely be the situation, as something as simple as a graphics card upgrade would be enough to improve its longevity. The problem lies in the fact that I had moved overseas recently, and due to weight restrictions...

I'm sad to say that I never got to experience any real arcades for myself. The closest experiences I had to arcades were using the cabinets for Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Street Fighter at my local pizza shop, as well as the cabinets at Luna Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Both were a bit lackluster...

I would have to say that most of my child was split between the SNES and the Nintendo 64. I got the SNES as a hand-me-down in around 1997 but soon after my parents were able to buy me a Nintendo 64, so I was blazing through both libraries together. But overall the console I spent the most time...

I'm really wary of the fact that so many new games are going to require Windows 10, because I have absolutely zero intentions for upgrading. At the moment I'm using Windows 8.1 and honestly I'm contemplating about downgrading to Windows 7, but I have to first check if most of the software I use...

At the moment I have a generic keyboard - - about as generic as it gets since it's my laptop keyboard, not even an external one. I do have a fairly good mouse though, a Logitech G700s. I can't imagine going back to using a regular old mouse anymore. However, my cousin recently got a really...
