    Ah yes, video games. They offer a level of escapism and engagement that few, if any, forms of entertainment can match. The sense of wonderment that washes over you as you're drawn into a game's addictive grip is exactly why we turn to gaming as... More

    The holiday season was very kind to me. Take a gander below to see what I mean. Not sure what I did to receive such gaming-related gems, but I'm happily the more spoiled for it.

    Bad Game Informer covers. There, I said it. Impossible, right? One would like to think so. More

    Bad Game Informer covers. There, I said it. Impossible, right? One would like to think so. But I'd also like to think people read our magazine first and foremost because of the design. Well, you know what they say, you can wish in one hand and crap... More
  • Games That Ruled My World

    It seems like all the cool kids are doing it these days. So I thought it was high time I threw my hat into the ring as well. Don't worry, this isn't one of those fancy-pants favorite-games-of-all-time lists. Disappointed? You shouldn't be. What follows is even better. Really, it's that good. Or maybe I'm lying. More

    I have to assume every gamer has the same problem. And if you don't, kudos to you (and how do you get any sleep for that matter?) It's those particular games that you have every intention of playing, but for some reason never get around to. As... More

    Being a graphic designer, you can't help but pay extra special attention to the visual splendor (or lack thereof) of any particular medium. It's our job to A) communicate a particular message and B) do it in the most smart/clever and aesthetically appealing manner possible. Whether or not one achieves those goals is a matter of opinion. What seemed like a good idea at the time can come back to haunt you for the rest of your waking days. Don't believe me? Then take a gander at the following ten video game covers I've assembled for your viewing pleasure. And yes, Halloween is unfortunately over...

    Metallica came to town last night. Gojira and Lamb of God opened and while I normally would be incredibly stoked for such an event, the acoustics at our very own Target Center made a good portion of the night sound like you're in an echo chamber.... More

    17 years is a long time. In the video game world, it's an eternity. Yet it was exactly that long ago when I got my first taste of a real-time strategy game that was, at least in its time and in my very humble opinion, without fault. How sobering hindsight... More

    So a funny thing happened back when I started working here at GI (no Andy, it hasn't only been a couple of weeks), I became much more cognizant of that whole video game culture thing. Specifically, all the toys, gadgets, trinkets, apparel, etc that... More
