News::The Fanboy War has to Stop

This name calling and discussion breaking fanboy stuff has to end. Now Im not speaking of the discussions of the merits of a system or even a technical discussion about why you one console may be technical superior over the other. No what I speak of is the poeple who interjects into intelligent conversation with their hate spewing comments and completely destroying what was intelligent discourse between two or more people.

News::Five Custom Games We Want in Dota 2

Kevin from Denkiphile: "The Loch Ness Monster. Bigfoot. The Chupacabra. For a while I thought Dota 2 custom games would join the ranks of these mysterious creatures, but Valve has seen fit to allow this beast to rear its head through the use of Dota 2 Workshop Tools. Its gaping maw sings both the songs of yore and those yet to be sung. Here are some custom games we hope make triumphant returns in the Dota 2 engine."

News::The 15 biggest games of Gamescom 2014

GamesRadar - Gamescom is brilliant. Not only is it every bit the (very loud) European answer to E3, but in many ways, it's also better. Justin has filled you in on the many, many reasons that the German expo is the cooler show to be at, but for the dedicated craver of game-facts, one factor rises above all others. While E3 is the place for reveals and exciting flashy trailers, GC is where you get the meat.

News::Over 9,000 Zombies Preview | GIZORAMA

Tim Allen, GIZORAMA - "Sure, zombies might be a bit played out in pop culture, and perhaps in video games more than anything else at best theyre tied with Z-grade Canadian-made horror movies as far as total saturation. But its also perhaps fair to say were past the point where we can complain about it too. Like it or not, zombie-themed games are here to stay, and at this point its important to differentiate them more by approach than by subject matter. The prevailing trend these days tends towards more serious survivalist fare like DayZ wherein youre forced to scavenge supplies, and fend for your very existence. What about those of us who prefer their games with a bit more run-n-gun and a bit less getting stabbed for your can of beans? Into that void left by the lack of a Left 4 Dead 3 stomps Over 9,000 Zombies."
