"U.S. Supreme Court that a California law banning the sale of violent video games to kids went too far is just the latest in a long string of headline-grabbing moments in gaming history. Unfortunately, at least as far as mainstream audiences are concerned, those headlines often center around violence in video games, particularly focusing on how that violence affects children. Read the full story for more."
Video game commercials used to be very, very different. That's probably a good thing, but these 10 cheeseball ads are still pretty entertaining in their own special way.
"In today's shooter-filled market, we spend a lot of time spraying bullets and looking down scopes. But every modern shooter gives us some kind of blunt weapon or knife for up-close encounters. In real life, if a badguy charged at you with a knife, you'd probably still shoot him. But video games make the melee button so satisfying, as you watch an opponent crumple to the ground, stumble backwards, or see the "Beat-Down" medal flash on screen. Melee weapons add a visceral side to our shooters a..."
"Over the years we have seen many amazing games that have been coupled with great names. However, from time to time, there will be the occasional game that offers you a great gaming experience at the expense of horrible and undesirable names."
"Gamers love their weapons. No matter if the game is a shooter, an RPG, or even a racing game for every player (and every character) there’s a favorite weapon. From shotguns and chainsaws to turtle shells and Light Sabers, the weapons we use in games have become almost as iconic as the games themselves. Let us take a look at some of the best and baddest weapons around in this top ten round up."
"T.S. Eliot once wrote, "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper." While that may be interesting enough for your freshman Introduction to Poetry class, it hardly works as a video game premise, which would explain why Activision hasn't yet secured the rights to Call of Poetry: Modernism Warfare. On the other hand, video games need intense settings and outrageous set pieces, and there's nothing more intense or outrageous than the end of the world. For this week's top ten, w..."

The top seven life bars of all time is a bit of a quirky list, but a cool one! It contains such things as a pulsing heart and brain, spinal fluid and a face which gets bloodier by the second. In fact, one is even measured with a female's chest.
The Legend of Zelda Series took out first place with their class style of a series of hearts due to lasting a long time and one of the best remembered. This was followed by the loved classic Doom in second and somehow the Guitar Hero series in third.
Our friends over at 1up take a comical look at how 5 prominent religions are offended by video games. With the recent LittleBigPlanet Scandal - this is becoming a growing issue.
Note - I do not intend to offend anyone by posting this, it is for satirical and comical purposes only. Any sort of flaming and bickering within the comments will not be tolerated and dealt with accordingly.
Quoted below are my two favourites, look for the rest after the jump!
"From shotguns to rockets, chainsaws to weapons that fire right through walls, weapons are what make gaming fun. You can have the greatest game out there, but if the weapons sound weak and don't pack much punch, you've lost something in the interface between the gamer and the world you're trying to immerse him into."
ScrewAttack goes through their 20 most influential entities in the gaming industry - dating as far back as the Atari 2600. Ranging from hardware innovations, energy drinks, LAN parties, to even specific games - this list is a worthwhile read to see what has influenced where gaming has been, and what has made it so great today.
""We have listed 10 of the best Xbox Live Arcade titles that every gamer needs to own and while these are not in any particular order out of all the games on the Xbox Live Arcade these rose to the top. It was a hard decision to make as well with so many amazing titles the list could have easily hit 20 titles.""
Singleplayer is awesome, sure multiplayer can be good but its that story driven action packed campaign that we hunger for. Here is a list of the top 10 FPS singleplayer games. While all these titles are available for PC many of them are or will be on consoles. System Shock 2, Doom and Deus Ex all make a appearance but which one will be top dog?
The list is as follows (in reverse order, even though the numbers are incremental):
- F.E.A.R
- Call of Duty 2
- System Shock 2
- Aliens vs Predator 2
- Far Cry
- Ca...
