Game developers who stray too far toward imitation will likely be accused of creating a soul-less ripoff of other games. But let inspiration run amok, and…

There are few moments in my gaming life that come close to the wonder I experienced when I first played Nintendo's Super Mario World on the SNES. A few have come close, but no games eclipsed the sheer awe I witnessed as masterful and challenging level design was matched by…

I am someone who is a massive sports fan, especially when it comes to football, or “hand egg” for our friends across the pond. However, I'm not really big into traditional football video games as the genre has fallen on dark times since ESPN NFL 2K5. Instead, I tend to…

Review : Forza Motorsport : Stiff Chassis

Gran Turismo. When it released in 1997 on the original PlayStation, it changed the entire concept of what racing games could be. Gran Turismo 2, in 1999, blew the doors off, and, by the early 2000s, the franchise was known as the definitive racing game on the market. With Xbox…
