I’ve never been a fan of defensive football in the Madden series.  It seems so often, I’d just be doing the same thing over and over again.

Come get a glimpse of what this year’s edition has to offer.

After a long wait, Sacred series fans can rejoice: Sacred 3 is here, and it’s the same Action RPG you enjoyed previously!

We all have memories of the first video games, and first systems we played.  Where did you begin?  The Evolution of Gaming exhibit at the Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver rehashed many of those old memories, flashing us back to times before some of us were even born, and then into some crucial eras of gaming, like the crash of 1983, and the explosion of the NES in North America.  Then, they flashed us forward and gave us a sneak peek at how gaming might look in just a few short months and years.  Click below to read more and find out just how much things have evolved over the past couple decades.
