If anyone is as big of a Portal fan as I am, then a live-action Portal movie has been something we’ve thought about for a while.  I’ve never been entirely sure how a game centered on puzzles and problem solving could really translate to film, but what I just watched has proven Portal can be

PC Gaming Is Not Dead: Razer’s Tight-Lipped Teaser

Recently, Razer began to Tweet, Facebook, and otherwise viral-market the URL for a (as of now) rather bare website: www.pcgamingisnotdead.com.

Speak for Yourself

By all rights, gamers and geeks should be free of shows like The Big Bang Theory by now. Let’s start with some figures, courtesy of the Entertainment Software Association’s 2011 survey. Seventy-two percent of American households now play video games. Over half of the gaming population lies within the 18-49 year-old range, and, in strict
