Videogames are predominately played by males, and as surging sales of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto franchise have shown, there's a huge market for the male demographic.

Appropriately named The Guy Game, Topheavy's unique new home console title is the very epitome of that goal. ...

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Guess maybe it may be wrong for me to start a review on the Harry Potter series.

Here it is 4 a.m. in the morning and I am pondering the meaning of existence. Actually my ass is sore from playing Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for the ps2 and decided to hop online. I was curious is my speedy typing will i...
