I Can’t Stop Playing Minecraft
All it takes is a mention, my mind fills with possibilities. Crazy structures, incredible palaces, wonderful towns to explore and lots of mining. Lots and lots of mining with little more to keep me going than the promise of rare or essential minerals to assemble my next project. Once I get the Minecraft bug, it’s like a maddening fever: intense, with an eventual cure. Right now, I got the fever, Minecraft fever, and I know I’m not alone.

Angry Birds Space Arrives!… Is Definitely More Angry Birds!
Today marks the mammoth release of Angry Birds Space, the latest installment in the ubiquitous mobile gaming franchise. Space marks the first real twist in the physics-based puzzle formula as you’re no longer chucking said Angry Birds at ground-based targets, but rather a variety of ground and space-based pigs, all under the variable control of gravity.

From IGN to VOX Games: The Gaming Journalism Universe, In Picture Form
The recent Whiskey split has been the cap on what’s been an exciting batch of changes, mergers, and acquisitions within the gaming journalism space. But few people realize how deeply rooted some of these outlets are and how many others seem to have appeared from nowhere. The industry is moving and shifting so fast because the industry it’s based on is still relatively new as well. The oldest publication we have listed here is only a few years older than I am.

EA’s Origin Service To Offer Sega Games
Well, it seems that mega-star video game developer / publisher Sega will be adding its most popular PC titles to the catalog of games offered by EA’s “Origin” digital distribution system, making Origin’s game catalog about as extensive as the Library of Congress.
The New SimCity: Electronic Arts Has A Lot To Prove
SimCity peaked early on. With the series’ graduation to an isometric perspective (something that made it instantly memorable) and tons more simulations running in parallel, it appears that Electronic Arts was content with merely refining the formula after SimCity 2000 released in 1993. It’s not that its successors were dreadful by any means (although history hasn’t been kind to SimCity Societies), it’s that they didn’t feel like they were trying to build a better city building game and move the genre forward, but merely make a better SimCity game. But with the recent announcement of a new title, one named simply ‘SimCity’, there’s a lot of hopes and doubts about how well Maxis (and EA) is going to handle what’s essentially a reboot of the franchise.
‘Nexuiz’ Review – Remembering Shooters Past
This article was provided by our comic artist: Cody! NOTE: This review has been updated dramatically since originally posted.
What? Two games in one review? WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?
Before I jump into the review, I want to explain why I’m doing this, and why it seems odd that two very different games bare the same name. The initial game was created by two friends, Lee Vermeulen and Forest “LordHavoc” Hale; the game was based on Hale’s Darkplaces Engine, and was meant to be a multi-platform game, available to PC, Linux, and Mac users. In early 2005, the game would be released, free for download and play on the web, with nothing to be unlocked through any sort of micro-transaction system. The game continued to garner support and contributions from the community, releasing version 2.5 in October of 2009. In 2010, IllFonic announced that they would take up the flag to remake Nexuiz in CryEngine 3, and would be released on XBLA, PSN, and Steam, with help from Forest Hale. Lee Vermeulen would go on to work on Capsized.
