Coke or Pepsi. Blond or brunette. Batman or Superman. For every great thing in this world, there's at least one other that stands in its way, forever dividing a group of people who would otherwise love the exact same stuff.

Believe it or not, the average person doesn't know a damn thing about video game music. Even to the typical gamer it's background filler that could just as easily be turned down or blocked out. But for a growing number of people, game music is a legitimately powerful genre that is often overlooked - and a brand new charity CD, GAME, plans to introduce this music to the masses while simultaneously donating 20% of the profits to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Blizzard has revealed it hopes to return to its sci-fi stealth-shooter StarCraft: Ghost, which it put on indefinite hold back in March 2006.

Not everything can be as simple and straightforward as Pong. Forget the design and the graphics... we're just talking about the title. Pong. So pure. So unadorned. So onomatopoeic. So easy to pronounce, a child or caveman could do it.
Since then, gaming... and the naming of gaming... has only grown more confusing and complicated. Bad translations, bad marketing and sometimes plain old bad education have created a hobby where only the hardcore can make it through a list of new releases without

Normally, promotional pics are veritable works of art, carefully composed to ensure that they catch the eye with a certain degree of impact. Sometimes, however, we receive shots so dull that the only thing they could possibly sell is ditchwater.
Here for your utter tedium, then, are 30 of the most boring screenshots that have ever been captured. Note that these are all official

Really, just what is this
Like many franchises that refuse to die, Transformers have kept coming back for years since their inception - and for good reason - the concept works. Gigantic robots turn into mundane vehicles. Here we have a quick rundown of the entire series to gear us up for the upcoming film and game of the same
Nobody's perfect. Even the best of the best can run off the rails, and that includes many of the most reputable companies and individuals that have been involved in the games industry.
