Community Blogs:
How
Pokemon Black And White Reinvigorated Me
You might expect MightyMagikarp
to be a huge Pokémon fan given his name, but the truth is he kind of distanced
himself from the series over the years. That is until Pokémon Black lured him
back in.
My
10 Favorite Games Of Last Generation
Mike shares his list of
favorite video games available on last-generation consoles, including all of the
big names you would expect to see and maybe one or two you didn't.
The Evil Within Has AIDS
The title to Katzenbalger's blog might've raised an eyebrow or two, but actually has nothing to do with what you're probably thinking. Instead, it's actually about playing (and dying) in The Evil Within.

The RPG genre is quite popular
among gamers and xghost777 discusses how some of his favorite series have approached the art of making a meaningful sequel.
New

Where
Dragon's Dogma Nails The Mark – And How It Can Do Better

Two
Horror Games To Satisfy You This Halloween
Whether you celebrate
Halloween or not, it's a popular time of year for many gamers to find scary
games to play. Christopher A. Franklin has a couple of recommendations that
might do the trick.
Entertainment
By Any Other Name
Who really knows if non-video
game related movies ever borrow ideas from video games like Stephon Glover
suggests, but his blog comparing similarities between them is actually kind of
cool.
Community Reviews:
Peggle
2 (PS4) Review
Seems like happydude633 has
taken a break from his Throwback Thursday reviews but don't worry, he's still
posting. His latest review is for the PlayStation 4 version of Peggle 2,
PopCap's popular puzzle game.

"Has any actor ever played a video game?
Every time I see people "gaming" on TV it's laughably terrible." @matthewrex
