major blowouts in the latest round of the GIO Fantasy Football League.
Thankfully, cerpintaxman is here with the this week's recap, highlighting all of the
results and standings.
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
Power Of RPG Sequels
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
Gen Comparison: The Walking Dead Season 1
Now that The Walking Dead
episodic series is available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, happydude633 plays
one of the ported versions and comments about the experience.
Where
Dragon's Dogma Nails The Mark – And How It Can Do Better
While Gimmick doesn't appear
to be a huge fan of Capcom, he does seem to like Dragon's Dogma,
even though he has a few recommendations to make the game even 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.

Video Game Quote of the Week From Twitter:
"Has any actor ever played a video game?
Every time I see people "gaming" on TV it's laughably terrible." @matthewrex
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.
