MLG Raleigh

So I gotta say, I love what MLG has done for the game world. A lot of people disagree – saying that gaming has become more about being “famous” than just enjoying the game, but I see it as a way of legitimizing gaming. We can have a discussion about that another time though. MLG

Review: Worms 2 Armageddon – PS3

There were always those games that you knew your friends would play. There are very few though that last the test of time. Worms happen to be one of those games that I could always count on. From a well thrown banana bomb to a fire punch into the drink there was something always special

[BAotW] Canis Canem Edit

World of Warcraft? Skill, eh?

World of Warcraft has been around for years now, and many of us like me could try and argue that it takes a lot of skill to play; then there are those who argue that that it takes no skill. A friend of mine always bickered with me saying that WoW was a game of

The Zelda Project – Taking Cosplay to Another Level

Cosplay is an art form that takes a lot of time, dedication, and money. At almost every event that the Pixelated Geek staff covers, we are impressed with what dedicated fans do to represent their favorite franchise and/or character. However, it is not often that we are blown away by such fantastically detailed costumes. Recently,
