Video games are an important part of our modern culture ever since they became a trend, back in the ‘80s. Their history starts at the beginning of the ‘50s, but it was only 30 years later that they turned into a mainstream choice for leisure. They are fun; they are meant to entertain us and […]
Superhero movies have been big business for a long time. Every year we see an array of characters from the iconic Spiderman to the unknown (until recently) Rocket Raccoon. Sadly, when it comes to superhero movie tie-in video games then the quality quickly diminishes. Gone are the days of the Commodore 64 and Amiga when […]
The English Language Arts classroom has a tremendously broad and diverse scope. The curriculum covers writing, speaking, language, literature, and informational reading. That range of content gives you five enormous areas to cover. The source material you study can be taken from ancient Greece, modern popular culture, or anything in between. The means of teaching […]
Gaming is a great way to kill time, or your social life, depending on how you look at it, but constantly buying games can be expensive. A hardcore gamer can finish a $60 game in a matter of 20 hours or less (for example Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) which means buying a new game every […]
Now that 2013 is finally over, it’s time to analyze a particular trend we’ve seen a lot in the last 12 months. Believe it or not, last year was pretty great for women in video games.

In the wake of the release of GTA5 we have all been transported into a world of extreme, cutting edge video game graphics. Sharp, clear and as real as you can get. You only need to watch the trailer for Call Of Duty Ghosts and you will see it with your own eyes. However, many […]
This September 12th, gaming blogs from around the world will be celebrating another excellent year of gaming, speculating what joys the coming year (and generation) may hold and reminiscing on some of the industry’s finest hours. Because of this over-saturation of good news, we have decided to provide a bit of balance on this otherwise […]
Spy games were and continue to be very popular with players. It’s partly because of the suave main characters, and partly because of the awesome stealth factor of a lot of these games. Here’s a look at some of the best spy related video games that have been released to date and one that we’ll […]
For a long time, I never really enjoyed games consoles. I always preferred to play on a PC, where the keyboard and mouse made many games much easier – particularly strategy titles, I thought. Joypads seemed to get harder and harder to master, with triggers, analogue joysticks, cursor arrow keys, coloured buttons and so on, […]
The abundant cleavage in modern video games is as controversial as graphic violence. The industry has come a long way, however, since the winsome Princess Daphne of Dragon’s Lair back in 1983. Playboy magazine might have inspired animator Don Bluth to make us the first female video game blonde bombshell but our modern pixelated ladies […]
