Hang on a minute. So were the last of an embattled group of mystical fighters, killed off by the forces of an evil empire, yet as a baby we were smuggled away and secreted far off to a rural community where our presence would not be felt? And weve been sent by our master into a ‘spirit cave where well learn about our true self, and later be spoken to by glittery blue/pale ghosts trapped between life and death? This rings a bell thats somewhat far away and relatively long ...

The Top 7... Girl-on-girl kisses (Feature)

Nov 28, 2006

What's hotter than watching a cute princess kiss a fat, middle-aged plumber? Well, anything really, but given the headline above, the answer should be obvious: watching a cute princess kiss another cute princess. It's sexy, it's vaguely taboo and it's pleasantly devoid of bristling mustaches and lingering sewage odors. It's much more common to see girl-on-girl kisses in other media, but it happens in games more often than you'd think. To prove it to you, we've collected the very best ones and ...

One of the most popular and critically acclaimed RPGs for the Xbox is headed to the PC in Jade Empire.

The PC version brings all these qualities as well, while managing to bring the kung-fu chaos to a whole new level. As you'd expect, the graphics are the most ...

Jade Empire expands to PC (News)

Sep 7, 2006

We still wince with pain when we think back on seeing an early version of the spectacular action role-player, Jade Empire, in 2004.
