I love video games, but some modern gaming trends just drive me crazy. While playing and reviewing Duke Nukem, I decided to write up a short list of some of the problems with modern video games.

I had a feeling Duke would be a shitty date, but I decided to take him home with me anyway.

My family of course, learned about Blockbuster the hard way.

Remember when you could rent video games from a location within a short drive from your home? Well those days are back again, except if you return the game 2 hours later than the deadline, this company doesn't shoot you…
When one thinks of Mortal Kombat images of excessive gore, fatalities, and Scorpion’s signature harpoon (Get over here!), pop into your mind. Story has never been Mortal Kombat’s strong suit, as a matter of fact, the stories in the original Mortal Kombat games made little to no sense at all. I’m delighted to let you know that things have changed.
Let me begin by saying I’ve never really had an interest in reading vampire lore, I haven’t read any of the Ann Rice novels, True Blood series, or the Twilight books. But sometime last year while browsing the racks at the comic book store I saw the cover of the first issue of American Vampire…
