Corsair’s Killer Combo
The gorgeous Vengeance K60 Gaming Keyboard and the Vengeance M60 Gaming Mouse may quite possibly be the sickest headshot duo to hit the shelves since Bonnie and Clyde action figures.

Dear EVE: What Can DUST 514 Do For You?
What I am currently picturing is Sony’s Elite Bro-Team manning the front lines in hastily-crafted Keystone Light armor arguing about who pounded the most beers last night. It’s a little extreme, I know, but the potential is there.
Hooah!

From the Gamer’s Graveyard: Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain
It’s hard to be universally for or against the concept of rebooting old intellectual properties, be it a cover of an old song, a reimagining of a new movie (Vince Vaughn in Psycho? Fuck you.) or a reconceptualization of a video game. You can try to be a purist and cringe every time something you fell in love with in years gone by is “redone,” but there are some things out there that deserve such treatment. Particularly in gaming, some titles with classic potential go under the radar and don’t do so well. Discussing these titles is why I’m here.
Let us take a trip down memory lane:

The Old Republic: Diary 2
Back when I gave my first impressions of The Old Republic (SWTOR, for short) I promised frequent updates on the status of the game, my character and everything in between. The major roadblock to that, unfortunately, is what I perceive to be a brick wall I hit around level 40.
A brick wall of CUTENESS that is...
But we’ll get to that later. First, as promised, a look at what’s been changing since the last time I wrote on this topic:

The King of RPGs
Sometimes you see something on the Internet you just can’t let go. Some troll or noob will say something so flagrantly wrong that you can’t just dismiss it as webjunk and move on. Something inside you just calls for justice.
That’s how I felt when I saw this IGN article touting the Super Nintendo as the King of RPGs. This isn’t a matter of opinion. The article is just wrong. But I’d have been willing to let that pass as a nostalgic statement or an expression of bias based on a penchant for Nintendo products. The thing that got me was how the writer justified her choice by saying the key element to RPGs is the gameplay, which is just patently false with no room whatsoever for interpretation. In fact, I’d put gameplay at the bottom of a list of factors contributing to a successful RPG.
^^Not the king.

As founder and editor-in-chief of this fine establishment, it is with great pleasure and excitement that I’d like to announce a new partnership with Scenic 7 PR!
Along with added potential for getting our name and message out there to you, we also have the potential to score review and contest copies of games in the future through Scenic 7. What we get out of the partnership, however, still depends on how well we do with views so if you love the site and want to keep it going, keep checking back in for new material and for the love of all that is holy COMMENT!
Here’s a link to our client page and to Scenic 7′s official announcement.

Men Who Stare at Screens
This isn’t a review, or a rant. It’s not topical, it’s not news, and it’s not a reaction to a trailer or press release. It’s not an interview with a big name in gaming, and it’s not advice on how to be a better gamer.
This is me attempting to tell you in the span of a few paragraphs how I came to be a gamer, why I continue to be one and why I think I always will. I’m not sure what, if anything, you’ll take away from this, but I hope that if it strikes a chord in you you’ll pass it along. Share it with friends.
Thank You,

Review: Dark Souls
Dark Souls is possibly the hardest game ever made, sequel to Demon Souls which is possibly the second. I would recommend this game to any gamer out there who has patience and is looking for a serious challenge. This game includes every aspect of its predecessor while enhancing and improving those aspects to make them even better. Dark Souls is designed to piss you off, and staying calm and patient is the only way you can succeed and hopefully make it through the game.
What could be frustrating about this?

Skyrim: Impressions of a Hater
I should never have played Skyrim. I was all ready to type up an article about how the game is over-hyped, ugly and goofy (I mean come on…a first-person RPG? How lame is that?), and then I made the mistake of sitting down to play it. I’d never played an Elder Scrolls game before, but friends had tried to get me into past installments. I remember seeing bland, uninteresting environments, blocky and awkward character rendering and cheesy first-person melee combat. Needless to say, I fully expected Skyrim to feature more of the same.
