Are games shorter or are we just gaming better?
“A new FPS is going to feel shorter than the last because you already understand what you are doing. There is not too much more the developers can throw at you that you haven't seen already.” TOGNick argues that playing through your favorite genres will increase your speed and proficiency over time. Are games today really that much shorter than those of cartridge days? Discuss in the comments section of his blog.
The Life of an Addicted Gamer...
“Obsession and addiction with video games (or anything else) really comes down to your attitude and mindset. It's a mental and emotional process. It has nothing to do with time, although the amount of time can certainly steer this mental process. I choose to play because I want to...not because I need to.” Saint discusses video game addiction and what may or may not qualify someone as having a gaming problem.
Do You Think Before You Kill?
Do you ever stop to think before pulling the virtual trigger? Are video games really just one big killing spree? Cody Gilley explains.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
