Although these lists always get controversial (especially coming from a non-gaming publication and combining both console and PC choices) this list is actually fairly decent ... they definitely captured the easy additions of Tetris, Doom, Diablo 2, and others. The 50 Best Video Games of All...

They didn't announce price but they are adding lots of new features to Fallout Shelter and bringing it to PC. Announcement at the Bethesda E3 conference. Awesome news (to me at least).

Is anyone getting Titan Quest for iOS? I plan to buy it tonight when I get home from work. Had to make space on my iPad first. Will update folks on it after I get it downloaded and running tonight.

NVM I know there are a few folks here in Texas, anybody visiting the new Video Game History Museum? Wish they had opened it when I still lived in Texas. KERA (PBS) also had an article on it Review: The New National Videogame History Museum – As A Museum So if anyone goes, let us know how...

I am discussing with a local computer shop to build a custom gaming system for me (I don't really have the time or patience or expertise to build my own). I was looking at some of the boutique online suppliers but I wanted to spend my money locally if possible to support local business. Here...

My system is getting kind of old and I think it is on its last legs ... I plan to buy a new system in December but until then I am still experiencing a weird sporadic problem: My monitor suddenly shifts into power save mode and won't come out ... doesn't seem to be a special time ... I could...

Anybody playing the Bethesda building/sim app (for iOS currently but I am sure that Android will come soon) ... my vault is tooling along (three kids so far) ... managing resources is tough, but not impossible ... seems to be fun so far

I finally made it through to the end of the history of video game book, All Your Base are Belong to Us (I usually only have a chance to read when I am travelling so it took me awhile). Overall it was an interesting read if you are interested in the history of video/pc gaming (or lived through...

I saw they just added the audio book to Audible. Game tie in books are kind of hit and miss. Books like Diablo III - The Order or Bioshock Rapture are excellent while many other gaming books are just a waste of paper. Anybody try this book? If so, is it in the hit or miss category?
