Politics can ruin a good thing for many people, as demonstrated late last week when WoW and Diablo III players in Iran found that they were unable to access those games. You see, since the United States levied sanctions on the middle eastern country no American company can do any kind of business in there....

The last time I got a strategy guide I believe it was when I picked up my copy of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I didn’t even really need it, as it came with my copy of the game for free as part of a promotional deal with K-Mart. You see, by that time I had broadband internet, and quite frankly,...

The law firm claims that the top level employees, including Zynga CEO Mark Pincus among others, knew that the stock would crash back in April when they...

I haven’t commented much on the new Android OS-based Ouya console. I’ve done some research, read some articles, and even checked out the Kickstarter page for the gadget which already has more than five times the original asking amount. The console is based off of the free-to-play mechanic, allowing...
