I think there is some confusion going on here. Games like ClayFighter, Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Mortal Kombat are fighting games in the traditional sense, but they're not Beat 'Em Ups. A Beat 'Em Up is basically a side-scrolling fighting game. Some excellent Beat 'Em Up games...

I have to admit that my experience with Sega games is fairly limited, since I grew up with a SNES and not a Genesis. Beyond the retro era, I only got to own a Dreamcast for a little while when my cousin lent it to me. I do have a lot of fond memories of playing that Dreamcast though. Based on...

Never, as I just don't see a point to pre-ordering games anymore, especially in the age of digital downloads. Companies constantly try to give you incentives to pre-order through stuff like pre-order bonuses, but I just feel that it's a cheap way to convince people to pre-order a title that...

No games that intentionally try to be funny have ever made me laugh. It's hard to make me laugh, especially if I'm playing alone (for whatever reason I'm prone to laughing more when someone else is around). However, there is one game that absolutely had me clutching my sides in pain due to...

I kind of feel like it's mostly a generational thing, but I do think that there is definitely some degree of stigma surrounding gamers. For example, every time I mention playing video games, my grandfather has a habit of reminding me that "Video games were created to distract your mind from...

I actually haven't finished all that many Zelda games, so my choices are fairly limited. I played both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask since a lot of people regard both as some of the best games of all time, but I just didn't enjoy them much. Maybe if I played them as a kid I would've liked...

The hype died when many people realized that these cash grabs were poorly designed devices meant to cash in on people's nostalgia. They were overpriced and intentionally under-stocked in order to stoke the flames of internet hype, and people eventually caught on to what Nintendo were doing...

My cousin dragged me into playing this game a little while ago. I don't know how, but he managed to clock over 500 hours on it. I say "I don't know how" not because I find it strange someone can play a game for 500 hours, but how someone can play Warframe for 500 hours. Don't get me wrong, I...

The thing is that people need to have something to talk about. You can only answer the "what is your favorite game" question so many times before you just start scrolling over threads like that. The best gaming forums are the ones where people can talk about individual games and the latest...

I myself am a PC gamer but even I have my doubts that PC gaming will ever completely take over. The issue is that PC gaming can be either too complicated or too expensive for the average consumer. Consoles are simple machines. You plug them in, pop in a disk, and play. For some people even...

If we're talking about software specific tips and tricks (as in for the games themselves), it's kind of hard to give general advice. Most tips and tricks are going to be pretty video game specific. I guess one thing that comes to mind is actually pay attention to the tutorials. You have so...

It would depend on the genre of games we're talking about. I can honestly say that when I was younger I was universally good. Whether the game was a first person shooter, racing, fighting, platformer, RPG, I had them all down. I think the key difference was that back then I had enough time to...

I mean I've only ever invested in games in the sense that I pay for the initial cost to own it, and that's about it. Maybe I'll pay something extra if a DLC I like comes out, but it has to be story related. If it's just some sort of cosmetic addition or special item, I don't really care for...

I usually don't have to deal with gaming addiction, because most games that come out these days aren't all that addictive to me. But now and again, a game comes out that just grabs my attention and refuses to let go. The most recent example of this is Dark Souls Remastered. I've put in hundreds...

Oh yeah I definitely get moments where I feel bad about killing someone, whether they're an NPC or an actual person. One example is like when I find a character with really nice gear in an RPG like Fallout, but I can't pickpocket the gear off of them. At that point I'm like sorry buddy, but I...
