Have you ever had a hypothetical argument with someone over who could beat up the most children at once? Well, Robbazdid, and he decided to see how many children it would take to kill the monsters of Skyrim. Surprisingly it doesn’t take many.

My Top 10 Moving Moments in Gaming 2011
This year has been good to gaming. Hold on, let me restate that. This year has been amazing to gaming. To me, it feels like this year was this generation’s swan song, the last push of gaming before all the developers go find some foxhole to hide in while they develop games for the PS43…

Oh, how I dread Christmas weekend. Not because I’m some big grinch or anything, but mainly because it requires me traveling to the edges of hell and back over the course of 24 hours. It’s days like this that make me wish my DS wasn’t stolen. How do you put up with your family on…

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Gears of War. I would like to enjoy it, but it tends to just get on my nerves more then anything else. It’s one of those obviously great games that I can’t push myself to get through. What are some “great” games you can’t push yourself to finish(or…

Guile was the one character I could never beat Street Fighter 2 with. I don’t know what it is, but even to this day I am still unable to use Guile. I guess everybody has that one Street Fighter character that they just don’t understand. Who are you horrible with? Take this time to Talk…

Sonic CD Could Be The Best Five Dollar Sonic Purchase You Make This Week
Sonic CD was released last week on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network for $4.99. It’s a game that stands up on its own even 18 years after it first launched. And it looks great in widescreen. If you have some spare cash or you have never played Sonic CD, now is probably a good…

This dude takes arcade basketball to the next level. He went through the effort of hijacking all of the extra basketballs in the arcade, and then proceeds to hurl rocks like a champion.

Oh man, wouldn’t life be so much better if we could live like characters in action movies? We could all be jumping onto trucks, punching bad guys, and getting the girls. Unfortunately in reality I think that would just lead to me getting horribly injured. While I go search out some bad dudes to punch,…

Gotham City Impostors is a Chaotic, Grappling-Hooked Fun Time
Gotham City Impostors may look like a Team Fortress 2 clone at first, but upon delving into the game, it’s actually quite fun. You can customize the character’s looks, body type, and even your gun (and gadgets!) loadout. Items such as the grappling hook or rollerskates help you navigate the maps, keeping the matches fast-paced…
