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.

How many hours of game play, that’s both campaign and multiplayer by the way, would you say you’ve racked up in Halo? Personally, I couldn’t even guess.  ‘Combat Evolved’ truly was, it opened the gaming worlds eyes to what was possible, and changed things in a major way.  Lan parties gave way to real online multiplayer for the console and we haven’t looked back since.  So what do you do after having such a huge impact on our cultures favorite entertainment medium?  Do it again of course!  Enter Destiny, Bungie’s next big thing, and they want to give you a whole bunch of cool gear for pre-ordering (so let them).

It may arguably have been the best game to come out on the PlayStation 3, getting praise like it being the “Citizen Kane” of video games. It’s high praise, but the Last of Us was a very different and very special game at a time where we were craving something new, and something unique. Few games have made me think and react on the immediate consequences of my actions like this one did.  On July 29th, you’ll get the chance to re-live those memories on the PlayStation 4, when the Last of Us: Remastered debuts in glorious 1080p.  Come check out more and leave us some of your memories of this amazing game.

Well the time has come wrestling fans. With WWE 2K15.
