Artist Spotlight: I Fight Dragons

I Fight Dragons is a rock band from good old Chicago IL, but they are so much more than that. The band infuses itself with rock alongside original electric sounds, some pulled directly from old video games. Coming together in 2008, the band has since released 2 EP’s and not too long ago released KABOOM!, their first full length album. What is a cd product spotlight doing on a video game website you might ask? Watch this and you might not have that question anymore.

Book Review: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

While video games are my chosen hobby there are times when I somehow (between being a dad, a gamer, full time employee, and a writer) find a way to sit down with a good book. Unlike video games, reading is one of the greatest escapes and the graphics are powered by imagination where the budget is limitless and the possibilities boundless. Recently I got a chance to read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and I was pleasantly surprised. Usually I read nothing outside of fantasy or a good Star Wars book (which is fantasy in space), but I received Ready Player One as a gift and am pleased to say the book is a genre busting success that delves deeply into nostalgia while also being witty and original.

To Harcore Gamers: The Wii Doesn't Suck

As a hardcore gamer that primarily plays Xbox, it's easy for myself and others to be dismissive of Nintendo's little white box that could. Motion controlling is usually annoying, the graphics are behind the times, and awesome game series like Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect don't come to the system due to it being so far outside the others experience that porting wouldn't work. However, if you've never tried the Wii out because you considered it too kiddy or you were just too busy with your other system you might give it a shot. It could just surprise you.
