It's happened to all of us: you buy a shiny new single player game, plunge into a well polished world, and are head over heels in love. This might very well be... the GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME. Sometime after you beat the game, however, you put it down, and never feel the urge to play it over again. Whenever you try and revisit the game, for some reason the reality just doesn't match up to your ro... more.

This has been an exciting week for Mortal Kombat fans. On Tuesday, a video that seemed to be a trailer for a new MK movie was uploaded to YouTube by a user called MortalKombatRebirth.

In this article, we take a look back at how video games have evolved into what we know and enjoy today. We've come a long way, baby! The Handheld Battle It seems so long ago, but in the 8-bit era we were lucky to have the LCD dot-matrix Game Boy. No one was crazy about monochrome, but it worked. The competition's handheld gaming used a static, painted backdrop. We saw pre-molded LCD caricatur... more.

Yes, you read the title correctly. I think ants would be great gamers if they could play video games. They're too busy being a slave for their queen to even think of such things, I imagine, but give me a moment of your time and I'll explain why I admire these little creatures. Masters of Teamwork Many of us have played with that one idiot on our team who just couldn't go along with the plan. Ins... more.
