For us, it all started with The 7th Guest for the PC. We were indescribably intrigued by this game at the time. The ability to journey through a beautifully rendered haunted mansion (as good as you could pre-render n 1993) via a first person perspective was something that, [...]

December 2008. Sony PlayStation 2 has been a viable product for eight years, selling about 140 million units wordwide, more than any other video game console in history.

Youtube is featuring this very old Sesame Street video that most of us should remember from our childhood.
Oh my god, huge flashback!
There are plenty more videos and games to check out at the new Sesame Street Workshop website at http://www.sesamestreet.org, which launched August 11.
Trippy…

In 1992, Epic MegaGames released this almost forgettable little EGA game called Overkill. You, the pilot, are tasked with destroying all the evil alien forces that captured six otherwise peaceful planets, enslaving the populations along the way. Destroy them.

Ahh, 1993. The first person shooter was bursting forth in popularity, but how did Blake Stone fare?

A couple of days ago, I found myself in an interesting situation. I found, that I had no desire to play my next-gen games. Hell, I didn’t even want to play my PS2. No, I wanted to play something 2D, and not the 2D with a 3D twist like Odin Sphere, but something truly classic, [...]

There’s no question that Halo was one of the best action/shooter games ever made. It was a remarkable achievement in gaming and carried the Xbox at launch time. Its multiplayer had that James Bond Goldeneye/N64 feel where you could play it, the same levels, over and over again and love every minute.
I still like to [...]
