A few of my favorite FPS titles through the years include Half-Life, GoldenEye and TimeSplitters. Of more recent vintage, I really enjoyed FEAR 2 and the Bioshock series.

I think you are right on the money. The sales data certainly indicates this too. Gamers are buying fewer games for their handheld gaming consoles with both Nintendo and Sony seeing a drop in digitally purchased and downloaded games as well as physical copies of games. All handheld gaming console...

The dog gets my vote too! I can't tell you how many times I wanted to shoot that dang mutt for laughing at every missed shot. Duck Hunt is in my top 10 of most frustrating games. I am not sure which was more annoying, the zapper which suffered from bouts of unresponsiveness or getting mocked by...

Yes, I do use to-do lists, I find them to be really helpful as I like being able to see what I need to do for the day, week or month and then get great satisfaction when I can cross them off the list. By having a list with everything wrote down it is easier for me to focus and motivate me.

Thanks for sharing this! More games to add to the backlog! I ended up buying Dead Nation and Rock of Ages. I am thinking about buying Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection too, at 90 cents its worth it for the nostalgia factor alone, I think.

I can vouch for Rayman Legends, especially if you are a fan of platformers. The game, although simple, is incredibly fun, especially the multiplayer. On top of all of this, the game is beautiful and has great music. I would recommend Legends over Origins, although both are worthy of your time...

At the end of last year Franchise creator Kazunori Yamauchi told reports that he had hoped that the game would possibly be released either this year or 2016. I haven't heard anything lately regarding a concrete release date and so I think the earliest we can probably expect Gran Turismo 7 is the...

I agree with you re: Arkham Origins. This was a disappointment for me, especially in light of how great both Arkham City and Arkham Asylum were in comparison. Those two games set a very high bar that sadly Arkham Origins just couldn't live up to. Maybe it was just me but I found Gotham City to...

I came across an article on IGN recently that included research showing that approximately 92 percent of all global game sales on PC are now digital. The data also showed that the PC gaming market is worth $21.5 billion - more than twice the size of the console industry.

It was announced last week that Nintendo will partner with the mobile gaming company DeNA Co. to develop mobile games for smartphones and other non-console devices. One article I read mentioned that the new games would not be direct Mario ports, though, but rather titles built from the ground up.

These days I am more of a casual gamer. I just don't have the free time to put in as many hours as I did 10 years ago to play games. I still invest a fair chunk of time each week (mostly playing FIFA and Football Manager) but nowhere near as much as I once did. Alas.

I read an article a few months back that stated recent shows that physical video game sales dropped around 17 percent in the first 11 months of last year compared to 2013. Meanwhile, digital sales jumped 23 percent. The trend to moving towards physical game sales versus digital is also born out...

That is really impressive that you learned almost all of your English by playing video games. What games in particular did you play that really helped with your learning of the language?

Doing a reverse image search reveals that this image dates from as far back as August 2011. http://slifty.com/2011/08/megapaper-1-super-mario-world/

Although it looks as though there will be new releases of Rock Band and Guitar Hero for PS4/XBOX One, there is no news about the potential for a new DJ Hero. Of all the music and dance related games that have been released, this is the one game that I would be most interested in buying an update.

I agree, Ebay is the best route if you are looking to sell your games for money. I do find that Amazon has some pretty good trade-in prices from time to time also and given that I do buy more than my fair share of games from Amazon, this is as good as cash.

I ended up downloading this a few days ago and have immersed myself in the game ever since. I agree. I actually like this more than the second game. This is well worth the $2.99 mobile download, IMO.

According to this article, Rovio saw a 73 percent drop in profit in 2014, however, revenue from mobile games grew by 16 percent to $119 million. As much as I enjoyed playing Angry Birds, I am not sure I have any interest in watching an animated movie.

I am looking forward to Arkham Knight. June 2 still seems so far away! The game looks gorgeous and I can't wait to test drive the new Batmobile. I am excited for the Riddler's return.

My three favorite mobile games from last year were Five Nights at Freddy's, Crossy Road and Threes. I still play Flappy Birds and even Fruit Ninja from time to time also.
