I completely agree with your post. I would say videogames teaches you critical thinking skills to figure out how something works.

Videogames teach logic that can only be applied to the game that you're playing. Real world application of "knowledge" obtained through a videogame is dicey at best. Stating that Metal Gear teaches politics & philosophy is the equivalent to saying that Star Wars teaches you astronomy. It's laughable.

World of Warcraft

I figured since I was going to give the next gen consoles a year to flesh out their game catalogs and iron out the bugs anyway, I went ahead and built a computer that could run games. I kinda needed a new PC anyway, and I'm kinda pumped to spend the next year, year and half catching up on PC games I'd been wanting to…

Now our Castle is in another princess.

If Microsoft and Sony are smart they'll do the exact same thing.

Damn you kotaku... I have been craving Stuffed Crust pizza all week! CURSE YOU!!!

This looks pretty damned good.

I especially love that you're able to place down a building and pause the construction just so you can get the general layout of the town even before you have the resources you need.

I'll be following this for certain.

Yes, i will play this. I will laugh while i play this. I will scream at my screen while i play this. And i will eventually throw my keyboard out the window when i am done playing this.

Because an MLB video game crowd party don't stop. Or start, for that matter.

Music to my ears. This is the news that I've been waiting to hear. Now I can start squirreling money away for my precious GoTY edition.

I know games are one of the focal points, but I can't figure out why almost every review completely ignores its use as a media streamer. They partnered with the XMBC guys for a reason, they know that will be one of the draws.

You know what would be nice? Being able to play Lost Planet EX Troopers.

May 21st? That's 7 more weeks for the cloud of always-online to loom. Not good when you consider the damage that Orth dude did in one day.

Well, you're not entirely alone—your views represent mine pretty much exactly. I don't know if we're the minority or not, but I very much doubt that we're the only ones, either.

Always LOVED this song. I wonder if the Gone Jackals have any idea how many people love Full Throttle and how many people heard their music through that.
