What New Forza Is Doing About Forza 5‘s Disastrous Economy
Forza 5 launched with some nasty microtransactions, made more upsetting by the fact that people already spent $60 to buy it.

A Guide To Making Your Destiny Character Extra Pretty
When you started Destiny you picked the blue skin that looks oh so ravishing with the soft pink hair, but what about your gear? Sure, you’re going to go for stats over fashion (most likely), but that doesn’t mean you have to be limited in your aesthetic options. My armor is pretty great, but it…

The Rise And Fall Of Nintendo… As A Rock Band
Link as a European EDM legend. Wario’s dumb laugh. Mario’s sex tape and drug addiction. Skater Mega Man. Bowser’s tiny puppy. Peach’s pop career. The band going viral. Rolling Shell Magazine.
