Every now and then I try to impart some of the wisdom I've accrued from my distinguished career as a professional gamer to the common men and women out there who enjoy games merely as a hobby.

In preparation for whatever Sony is planning on showing us tonight, we're looking back on all of Sony's previous home console iterations.

Luigi had to wait years before starring in his own games without his brother. DMC’s Vergil only had to wait a matter of weeks following the game’s release before stepping out from Dante’s shadow. I’ve played the first two chapters of Capcom’s new DLC offering, Vergil’s... More

Sanzaru Games’ Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is one of the early gaming highlights of 2013, no small thanks to the excellent score which balances a jazzy, big-band feel with elements of historical and world music. We recently spoke to composer Peter McConnell about Thieves in Time’s score,... More

On the one hand, I am happy to see Rayman Legends coming to other consoles.

Whether you love them, hate them, or forget they exist until they pop on your screen and interrupt your game, achievements and trophies have become a (literally) required aspect of all PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games.
