by on November 18th, 2011

Every video game enthusiast dreams of working with the games that he or she loves so much. There are many positions within game companies that offer people the chance to work with video games themselves, whether it is creating them, testing them, or just a part of the tech support team. The most obvious job would be the video game designer, surely. There are no gamers who have not once thought of creating a video g

Snipers Are Not as Deadly as You Think

by on October 2nd, 2011

Snipers really pose a huge threat to their enemies in first person shooter games. Many people think that they are basically invincible in FPS games. However, that is just a myth. While it is true that they are deadly in a game like Counterstrike, they still have many weaknesses that their enemies can exploit. They usually remain in a single location for a long period of time.

A Noob’s Musings on CS Cheats

by on September 28th, 2011

There was a time when battles can only be fought on a field. And depending on your team’s adeptness, cut-throat tactics and eagle-eye sharpness on targets, you can be on the winning side… or you retreat defeated and blame each other for doing such a bad job. Hit or miss, I bet soldiers of olden days wish they could shoot through hills and walls. I like watching war films. I don’t know about you, but what intr

by on September 13th, 2011

There was a time when the word “aliens” evoked images of little green men flying around in aluminum flying saucers, chased by policemen in 1960s cop cars. Then the first Alien movie came along, and the world was forever changed. Back then, there was no CGI and little in the way of animatronics.

Serious Sam and the Formula of Mindless Gameplay

by on September 8th, 2011

Nowadays, games are getting more and more complex. Take Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, for example. Back in the day, the old Jedi Knight series was all about waving a lightsaber and hacking the limbs off white helmeted stormtroopers. Later on, you had a host of light and dark side Force powers, along with their respective key commands to memorize. Now, it seems Lucas Arts isn’t content with letting us bash r

CoD: Black Ops – Surviving Multiplayer

by on August 26th, 2011

It’s another day the the CoD game servers, and another day of whooping newbie asses. Thanks to the game’s popularity, a lot of armchair warriors have been jumping unto the fray, only to get chopped to bits milliseconds later. While it may only be a game (and a casual one at that… supposedly), when it comes to online games and ladder matches, each virtual hit leaves a bruise on the ego. If you wish

by on November 27th, 2010

When it comes to tactics in games, no single piece of equipment is more misunderstood then the simple smoke grenade. The Chinese philosopher Sun-Tzu said “All warfare is based on deception.” Used properly, smoke is the deception that can single-handedly turn the tide of a battle.

Is He Cheating Or Just That Good?

by on August 22nd, 2010

Everyone has heard this statement over the headset from time to time,”Oh, my god, this guy’s modded and I know it because he is killing everyone in one shot!” The reality is that the guy probably isn’t modded and you probably suck more than you thought. Yeah, it’s hard to admit, but there are players out who, with certain weapons, are pros. However, they are probably only good at death
