A once-vacant aisle at Best Buy is now filled with a plethora of different types, ranging from casual all the way up to pro, including the Turtle Beach X12. While my initial impressions of this headset were good at my local Best Buy, I wanted
On December 10th, Spike TV held their annual Video Game Awards special, where all things gaming were celebrated and commemorated. This was certainly a great year in gaming — even your fellow PG! writers are trying to figure out what the best of the best was this year. For those of you who didn’t catch the
Last December, we here at Pixelated Geek took a first look at the first episode of Telltale Games’ five-part time-traveling point-and-click adventure series, Back to the Future: The Game.

Well, folks, it’s official. Some delegates at the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent have begun to consider extending the reach of “International Humanitarian Law” – the breach of which can constitute war crimes – into its most daring and unexplored realm: video games. “While the Movement works vigorously to promote

Saying an entry in Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls series usually has some bugs is a huge understatement.
