Ten Things Wrong With the Gaming Industry

In: Articles by Edie Sellers

6 Aug 2010

There’s a lot good with the video-game industry. Compare your favorite game a decade ago and your favorite game today. You’ll see better graphics, better stories, better controls. In few markets have consumers been able to witness a near vertical increase in design, capability, and content as with their video games. However, with bigger consoles, [...]

The Greatest Handheld Made

I love my PSP. I was the proud owner of one of the first made PSPs to come out on its launch all those years back. Yes, even in Montana, a gamer could get his hands on all the new toys that come out. Thank god for Best Buy. Being the proud owner of the [...]

Apparently 60 percent of gamers prefer physical media to digital downloads.
