These Video Game Towns And Villages Were Doomed From The Start

I Never Thought my Favorite Games Could Look so Good as Eye Make-Up
I don't ordinarily think of "makeup artist" and "gaming" as going together. After all: the characters whose stories we so ardently follow are virtual people, and they are as fantastic or as plain as any other set of pixels can be.
What's the Fine for Necrophilia in Cyrodiil?
Great moments in gaming humor finally makes it to The Elder Scrolls! Just because series stars a silent protagonist doesn't mean it has to be a dour, humorless affair. It can be an affair with a corpse as well!

You Can Hire These People To Write Term-Papers About Anything, Even…
If you want, you can buy your college term-papers. This has been true for as long as there have been academic institutions—some students just don't want to deal with the agony and all-nighters required to pull together a massive paper. They'd rather be socializing than sitting in front of a computer, bleary-eyed,…

The lead designer behind The Elder Scrolls III and IV, the creator of Morrowind and Oblivion wants nothing to do with the latest entry in the storied franchise.
Like Rich Wine and Sharp Cheese, Some Games Just Go Well Together
I've noticed over the years that I enjoy playing games in pairs, coupling them like a fine wine and a dry, aged cheese. (Or a hoppy beer and a slice of spicy pizza, if you prefer.) I've got professional obligations now that I didn't have in the past, but all the same, I find that I tend to experience my gaming two…

Why Do Our Role-Playing Games Still Need Numbers Everywhere?
I understand that role-playing video games owe their existence to role-playing tabletop games, and as a result, share many of their predecessor's customs and traditions. After all, if tabletop games need to simulate action via numeric values, then it was natural for the first video game RPGs to do the same.
Guess What, Horse Armor Still Sells
Buying The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's Horse Armor. It's like listening to Barry Manilow, eating at the Olive Garden or ordering Spectravision. No one will admit to doing it, but still enough do so keep it in business.

Where Are All The "Next Gen" Games?
The calendar says "2009". The Xbox 360 launched in 2005. That means we're four years into the "next generation" of video gaming. If so, then where the hell are our "next generation" games?
Bethesda Clarifies No Elder Scrolls V Statement
Last week at QuakeCon 09, Bethesda's Todd Howard was quoted as saying the company had "no current plans" for a fifth Elder Scrolls game. According to Bethesda, that's not what Howard said at all.
