Top 5 Nintendo Console Launches
Today is a special day, And not just because it’s Friday and the weekend is a mere work day away. But it’s also a special day for Nintendo enthusiasts like myself. (Yes, I just wrote that sentence. I have no regrets.) The Nintendo Switch, the intriguing mixture of home console and portable game device, is officially out today. And...
This App Will Make You Forget About Pokemon Go
I’m about to say something fairly controversial. But, please, I urge you to remain calm before you prepare your torches and pitchforks. OK, here goes: I thought Pokemon Go was just OK. Don’t get me wrong, I thought it was an awesome idea and it actually got me out of the house every once in awhile (something it should win a few...
4K Gaming is Finally Here
Sony and Microsoft are changing with the times. With the steep drop in pricing of Ultra HD (or 4K) TVs, early adopters are upgrading from their HD TVs in droves. And the first thing anyone who’s upgraded is looking for is 4K content. While every Hollywood movie is automatically available in 4K (either on an Ultra HD Blu-ray or via...
Beating Scientists at their own Game
When scientists want to design a new drug – say, one that combats the invasive proteins of HIV – they need to design new proteins to work inside the human body. Crafting new proteins is no small task. A small protein can contain 100 amino acids, with some human proteins possessing up to 1,000. This naturally results in an...
What You Didn't Know About Football Video Games
Super Bowl Sunday is finally here, which means a long day of sitting, snacking, and looking at ridiculous prop bets. (You can seriously bet on whether or not the National Anthem singer Luke Bryan will be wearing a hat. What a time to be alive.) Well, as long as we’re in the pigskin spirit, why don’t we take a look at something for...Can the Foundation Update for No Man's Sky Bring People Back?
Video game releases are fickle. Sometimes an unknown gem is released to critical acclaim, and other times a heavily anticipated Triple-A title falls victim to its own hype, failing miserably to meet expectations (perhaps what you might call the "Half-Life 3 Problem"). The latter was certainly the case with the release of No Man's Sky...The Force Is Strong With Mark Hamill in Star Citizen: Squadron 42
Mark Hamill is best known to gamers as Luke Skywalker. But, in addition to reprising that role in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII movie, coming out December 15, 2017, the actor is reconnecting with Cloud Imperium Games developer Chris Roberts on the upcoming video game, Star Citizen: Squadron 42. After working with George Lucas...
NES Classic Edition In Short Supply
If you’re like me, your top priority over the past week has been obtaining the recently launched NES Classic Edition (or "NES Mini") console. And, if you’re like me, you were disappointed to see that getting an NES Mini at a reasonable price at the moment is about as easy as getting a self-driving car that prints money and makes...Nintendo Franchises That Should Go Mobile
We’re looking through the black mirror: Super Mario is jumping into your pocket. Well, not literally. Let me rephrase. This December will mark the release of Super Mario Run for iOS devices, one of the many mobile releases the longtime video game company has planned. With Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing games on the horizon, let’s...
