Gaming and gambling are more connected than ever before. Nevertheless, many developers still don’t add gambling to their games. We believe this is a problem and that they should do the opposite or better said the right thing. Video games can feature a full or partial online casino and related casino games which brings a few perks.
More fun
The first and the most important reason why developers should add casinos or at least matching games to their creations is fun...
New PlayStation 4 Commercial Says 'It's Time to Play'
Would you like to play a game?
If ever there was a commercial that showcases just how close video game characters are to the uncanny valley, this is it. But like, who wouldn't want to shave with Kratos's axe? ...

Trump to Meet with Game Industry Executives to Talk About Guns and Violence
Next week, Donald Trump will supposedly meet with various video game execs to have a little chit-chat about the evils of violent video games. Who are these executives? Nobody knows. Why isn't Trump focusing on actual issues like gun control? Beats the hell outta me.
All we know is that notorious liar White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the press this bit of news earlier this afternoon.
"The president has met with a number of stakeholders. Next week
Trump Claims Video Game Violence is "Shaping Young People's Thoughts"
For those of you too young to remember, let me take you back to a time where video games and music were the root of all problems. Video games, specifically Doom, were blamed for Columbine in 1999. Disbarred and perpetually disgraced lawyer, Jack Thompson, also blamed violence on video games. Some specific targets of Thompson included Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Bully, Manhunt, and Mortal Kombat. Before the suspect was ever even identified in the Virginia Tech shooting, Thompson quickly...
ESA's move to open up E3 2017 to the general public seems to have been a rather big success for them. The public tickets have now been totally sold out.
That's a rather impressive feat considering there were 15,000 passes available for the public. The first 1,000 tickets for three days were $149 (USD), with the remaining 14,000 going for $249. Business passes are still apparently available for a mere $995. The announcement was made on the official E3 Twitter earlier today.

A fun, colorful, and fresh take on twin-stick shooters and bullet hell bosses.
It needs to be said upfront that I'm not normally a big fan of the "bullet hell" style of games. Even back during the height of Geometry Wars' popularity, I only managed to earn just four achievements before I hit a brick wall and ultimately never touched the game again for the better part of a decade. It's not that I hate that particular genre of games, it's more so that they hate me and my poor reaction times....
Fresh, exciting, and fun but comes up just shy of greatness. Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns delivers on being a solid expansion to the already enjoyable base Guild Wars 2 experience. If you already have a predisposition to disliking the MMO genre or Guild Wars 2, this expansion won’t suddenly turn you into a believer. What it will do is offer tons of content for one flat rate that fans of the game probably have no qualms about picking up immediately.
