Gaming For God

The fine folks at Siliconera posted this great video from Trine 2, and I just had to share.  It’s a video of the making of just one screen of the game, and it really shows how amazing it is to build a video game in 2011.  If you never played Trine, it was one of…

We’re pretty excited to announce that we’ve added a new character to our party.  Okay, it’s more like the awesome part of the game where you get another character to fight with you for a little while and he is 1,000 times stronger than you are and can’t die.  You know, like an old wizard…

So every so often (actually, quite often) a game company goes and does something so nasty that it makes even Satan look good. This week, that company is Ubisoft, who is reintroducing its draconian DRM for the upcoming PC version of Driver: San Francisco, a popular racing/crime game. So what’s so bad about the DRM that…

In an entirely unprecedented move, Nintendo has decided to cut the price of the 3DS to 170 bones.  Yep, that is an 80 dollar price cut for a system that has only been out a few months. Personally I am shocked by this move.  The 3DS, while potentially causing headaches much like the ill-fated virtual…

Christians LOVE advertising their faith on their t-shirts. If you are one such Christian, might as well at least advertise your love of video games as well. Enjoy these scrumptious combinations of Jesus, gaming, and cotton. “Jesus Rolls the Katamari.” He sure does. And you’d know that if you had read our stunning expose on WVGWJP (What…

This might be the easiest act of humility you do all year – the Humble Indie Bundle #3.  For those not in the know, the Humble bundle has become a fixture in the PC gaming community.  It allows you to download 5 games and name your price.  Sweet, right?  Well, the creators go even further…

If you’re in your late twenties like me then you might remember watching your older brother beat Metroid (it was way too hard for you).  You might also remember the shock of finding out that your awesome action hero had in fact – been a girl.  It was shocking, and a little bit disgusting.  You…

Let’s assume for a second that the Son of God has come back, and let’s also assume that he’s put the second coming on hold for a bit so he can try out these magical things called “video games.” Yes, those are ridiculous assumptions, especially since heaven is most likely a 24/7 idiot-proof version of…

I love board games. Almost religiously. Some (*cough cough my wife cough cough*) might even say I love them a little too much. So what if I need two closets, a large bookshelf, and a shed out back to store them all! That’s no reason to toss around vicious, hate-filled words like ‘obsessed’! But if…

That’s right, I went there.  Game marriage.  You know all about it, the sin where two video games come together to make one game.  Mario vs. Sonic, Tekken vs. Street Fighter, E.T. vs. Duke Nukem Forever… okay that last one wasn’t real BUT WHAT IF IT WAS. Is there one good thing that game marriage…
