"Probably the best thing about number 4 on our list is that she's not a good girl. She's naughty. She's a little bit crazy, but then again, aren't they all? She dresses in a leotard, a schoolgirl outfit, or some combination of black and red goth attire. She paints her face a little more obviously than most women -- all of this while still maintaining some kind of innocence that makes her seem sweet even while threatening you with an oversized mallet. How does she do it? I don't know, but..."

"Mother's day is just around the corner and without a doubt is a day to pay homage to the person who served as a mobile spawn point while we waited in our own personal matchmaking lobby for a full nine months. Sure, flowers and candy would do or a trip to the spa might be the best gift possible for mommy dearest. Maybe even a dinner and movie to remind her of her motherly instincts and how much you certainly love her in one fell swoop. Any of these things would be awesome and in your thankfuln..."

""Every year, there is a day that reminds us all of the people we cherish, love, in some cases tolerate and hopefully can call our Player 2. This week ends with Valentine's Day and for those of us who have someone to share the day with, it's a very special day to reaffirm the small commitments. For everyone else though, it's Sunday. In the meantime, there is always going to be at least one character in a game that the average gamer is going to garner a small crush on. Sure, they're digital, bu..."
"The other night I was wasting time at our local GameStop looking over what new PC and Playstation 3 titles recently hit the shelves and I began talking to the sales associate about the state of the current console wars. He asked me to name my top 10 currently released Xbox 360 titles and see how many of them are exclusive to Microsoft’s system and how they compared to last-gen gaming; the following list is a result of that conversation. Remember that there are many other high-quality games av..."

"If there is one thing that leaves gamers drooling over themselves in anticipation for an upcoming title, it’s a great trailer. This year treated gamers to more than the fair share of exceptional videos that showcased some exquisitely awesome games. I tried to keep it with titles that have either released in 2009 or will release early 2010, thus there will be no Halo Reach here. Although Reach has an awesome trailer and you can read my trailer dissertation here, I suggest you sit back and for ..."

"10. Resident Evil 5 - Capcom
Outstanding graphics and the addition of Co-op play to Capcom's long running Survival Horror series place Resident Evil 5 in our number 10 spot. Plagued with controversy over charging extra for multiplayer, an antiquated control system, and what some might call a racial slant to the game, Capcom still managed to craft one of the most entertaining gaming experiences of the year. Now if they could only make the Resident Evil series scary again....ah if wishes were ..."

"Being a tough, manly superhero is all well and good, but beating up criminals and wearing a skintight spandex costume is only part of the deal. All of the biggest and manliest of heroes have a few deadly and beautiful female villains to do battle with. And seeing as how Batman is the biggest and most manly of them all, it's no wonder he has quite a few femme fatales to contend with.
With the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum this week, we felt like celebrating the women who make Batman's c..."
