Article: The Myth of Meritocracy
Why Online Gaming is a Hostile New Frontier It’s been a long day at work and you’re itching for a release. You kick off your shoes, shrug off your coat, and maybe get a hot cup of tea going. You flop down on the couch or pull your chair up to your computer and log ...

Review: Star Trek Online
I’ve been spending time trying to figure out how to start this review. I suppose I could be all cliche and do a “Captain’s Log” monologue.

Review: Assassin’s Creed 2
We might as well admit it, Assassin Creed wasn’t a very good game. It lacked polish, it was overhyped and its story was rather clumsy and convoluted.

A Click Away From: Bayonetta
In one of the videos, the heroine proceeds to ask if we want to touch her, in her upper class English accent, before the camera proceeds to do what is probably the first full body shot of her impossible physique, before she proceeds to perform combat moves that defy the laws of everything. Welcome to ...
