Happy Fourth of July, dear reader! To celebrate US independence, we’ve rounded up all the characters adorned in red, white, and blue from gaming’s past and present, in order to honor their dedication to patriotic fashion. Fireworks can wait; it’s high time you paid respects to these all-American heroes…
Think every game this generation was brown, grey, or orange? These 14 games will prove you wrong...
Who are the most influential people in games? Miyamoto? Kojima? Carmack? Newell? Mikami? Wrong. The only names you need are Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Dan O' Bannon and H.R. Giger. Because nothing has shaped gaming more extensively than the Alien films.

Not all sequels are destined for greatness. Tag along as we remember the follow-ups that time forgot...
It's funny how the games business works. Big
successes become popular franchises, we keep buying 'em because they keep
getting better, and developers keep churning 'em out. Later, we'll complain
about Call of Duty being the same stupid thing, buy it, verify our complaint,
and keep the cycle strong. What about the stuff that doesn't review well, though,
or doesn't sell, or doesn't quite live up to the hype? Those games are usually
left for dead, and an original IP hoping to make its big break becomes a
one-shot failure.
Aren't these the games we should
see sequels to? Disappointing games are the ones that need the most improving,
and are the games that'd benefit the most from a second chance. Remember,
Assassin's Creed eventually became Assassin's Creed II. We'd love to see some
of this generation's biggest bummers – even if they had a lot going for them –
take off bigger than they have...

What better way to learn how to fight than from videogames, the leading cause of fights? It’s true, videogames cause most of the world’s violence. Scientists have done science that proves it, so there’s no point in arguing. People sometimes tell me that things aren’t so “black and white,” but I don’t even know what that means, because I’m not racist like they are.
But if you learn from them, videogames can make you undefeatable in the ring, by the bike racks, at the grocery store, or wherever you are when the part of your brain that plays videogames gets you into a fight. Mine does it a lot so that’s why I’m pretty good at fighting. Pay very close attention because this is important...
Okay look guys, Disney's been using Wreck-It Ralph to pump video game references out like they're going out of style (they're most assuredly not). It's about time we took a good close look at just how many game characters we can spot in the clips released so far...
