Christmas Shopping for the gamer in your life
As a lifelong gamer, I know that there's nothing worse than receiving a terrible game from an uninformed relative at Christmas. If the gamer in your life doesn't already have it, none of these games are going to get returned on Dec. 26.

E3 Wrapup: Dan's Take
You may be asking yourself:is all the buzz around Nintendo merely unfounded hype, or is it for real? After spending time with Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Metroid, Warioware, Wii Sports and Madden, I can assure you that it's 100% real.
E3 Wrapup: Kevin's Take
Since it's all over now, it's my opinion that the fallout from last week is really beginning to show through. Nintendo has all the momentum going into this fall with all of the positive press and word-of-mouth that they'll get from people at the show who played the Wii and realized just how revolutionary it's going to be.
E3 Wrapup: Chris's Take
Of course, the real draw behind the Wii was its unique controller.

The Xbox 360 generation arrives
Did you camp out? Did you pre-order? How many have you put up on eBay?
Sequel Fatigue
As I see the new and expected yearly reiteration of Jak, Ratchet, Tony Hawk, Prince of Persia, Brothers in Arms, Madden, NBA, NHL, MLB, ABCDEFG roll into the office, my eyes simply glaze over as I happily make someone else do the review
Wanted: Video Game Reviewers
Yup, I'm looking for more Lawrence gamers who can write well and "get it" when it comes to current console gaming.
Peter Jackson to do Halo movie!

Best games of this generation
As this generation winds down, we pick our best games that cam out of the three-party console war.
