Video Games Live: An Experience Worth Having
Video game music has been on an extraordinary journey since its inception. From its start with simple bleeps of a computerized synthesizer to a slew of beautifully orchestrated pieces, the music of games has become as integral as its storyline or graphics. To showcase this now fundamental piece of video games, a live orchestra, with a choir and visual effects has been created. This amazingly fantastic experience is known as Video Games Live.

Hobby Game Developers Part 1: I Used To Hate Video Games
I used to hate video games.
I hated video games because, up until 3rd grade, I defined gaming as brainless, worthless, wastes of time, meant only as a distraction from homework and learning. (I was a pretty pretentious child.) When the Wii rose in popularity, I discovered that video games are more than unintelligent pieces of junk. I realized they are awesome.

The dreaded debate: physical games vs. digital games. Brought on by a simple chat about Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, two members of the MONG team are about to duke it out.

Why We’re Still Getting Newer Editions of the Old 3DS
In September 2010, handheld gaming was changed forever. The Nintendo 3DS was released in Japan and showed the world that two screens can work in an innovative and creative way. Four years after its release, we’ve seen the Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS, and scores of special editions of them. Two weeks ago, Nintendo made a surprise announcement that they’re creating a “new” Nintendo 3DS with increased capabilities and eventually exclusive games. However, even with that announcement, Nintendo is still creating and promoting various new editions of the “old” 3DS. So, with this “New” Nintendo 3DS announced, why are we still getting newer editions of the “Old” Nintendo 3DS? Continue reading Why We’re Still Getting Newer Editions of the Old 3DS
Phil Fish is Not a Monster
To say that Phil Fish is a controversial figure in the game industry would be a drastic understatement. From his only game’s announcement to his latest internet meltdown, his infamy has grown by leaps and bounds. Since Fez first popped up on the scene in 2008, it captured the attention of the indie world and set its creator on an epic downward spiral. Who is this man? This monster? This crazy Wolverine-hipster?
Nintendo Might Have Accidentally Leaked Pokken Characters
On Tuesday, the Pokémon Company officially revealed Pokken Tournament, a new fighting game combining the characters of the Pokémon universe with the development and mechanics of Bandai Namco’s Tekken franchise. The preview clip showcased Lucario and Machamp fighting each other with unique and character-type driven attacks. However, when I first saw this, I knew I saw this battle already, and in fact I did.

Are Card Games Cool Again?
When I was in elementary school, a major Japanese franchise hit American shores: Pokémon. Before I knew it, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue swept the schools, with the card game quickly following. The cards were exhilarating: purchasing booster packs with the chance of getting rare cards, boxed sets guaranteeing you to get some powerful cards, and even the allure of debating with your friends whether or not a trade is “fair”made for exhilarating playground debate.
Should Star Wars: The Old Republic Make The Move to Next-Gen Consoles?
I believe BioWare could be potentially passing up an important opportunity. During the recent EA Gamescom Press Conference, BioWare had a turn on stage to present Star Wars: The Old Republic before their Shadow Realms announcement.
