Although Peggle 2 looks mostly the same ... I LOVE ME SOME PEGGLE!

Gawd, I hope matchmaking on next-gen consoles doesn't take so long that you can play full games of Peggle in between.

In regards to the question about gamers dislike of big budget games, I think I would like to refocus the question. I don't think gamers have anything against big budget games per say. Look at the success of Call of Duty, Madden and any number of other game franchises. However, I do think that gamers have begun to be…

Dare I get excited? Dragon Age was one of my favorite games ever, only to be hugely disappointed by Dragon Age 2 and it's recycled settings and less than stellar storytelling. However, the graphics and settings of this third installment look beautiful. I'm curious to see how this "inquisitor" gameplay pans out. I hope…

It may just be that Battlefield 3 was such a huge leap in graphics at the time it was released — particularly on PC — that everything I've seen for Battlefield 4 just hasn't impressed me so far.

I got burned as an early adopter of the Xbox 360 (I think I went through like 6…

In some ways this may be good, because it lowers the entry cost of accessing games that some gamers might not otherwise be able to afford. The danger is that it might also…

I think Valkyria Chronicles is a better example of how this game should have been designed. Movement and actions are turn based, while combat takes places in 3D. From the way this looks, it appears that the developers attempted to combine Gears of War style gameplay with Mass Effect controls, but because so much input…
