Does having a woman on the cover of a game decrease sales? Many people in the industry seem to think so, but a few brave developers are treading into those waters, slowly.

LucasArts was the master of the golden age of gaming, saturating the market with top titles like Sam And Max, Monkey Island, Full Throttle and TIE Fighter. But its time has come, and gone.

Chella awards her own Game of the Year accolades to deserving companies in categories like Best Overall Story, Most Memorable Villain and Favorite Hero. Did your favs make the grade?

Chella is happy with your picks for Games of the Year, but wonders if it might be time to retire the notion of games falling into defined genres all together?

Chella can take out snipers with the best of them, but this week she celebrates lots of amazing titles without a gun in sight, and proves that our industry is lot more than just running and gunning.

Chella gets herself a PlayStation 3 to gain access to all the exclusive PS3 content coming this year, starting with Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. The problem is, stores aren’t cooperating.

It’s only barely begun, but Chella has amassed a huge list of top titles for all platforms that she needs to play this year. Could 2013 be the year of the gamer?

Sony’s patent application for used-game killing technology may be the first indication that the PS4 will try and stamp out the trade-in market once and for all. To the industry’s detriment.

With the world supposedly ending today (thanks Mayans), Chella takes a moment to look back on the great games we all played, or should have, in 2012. Happy End of the world!

Resigned to their fate at the end, the City of Heroes crowd gathered one last time to celebrate life before their world blinked out forever. Chella was there for that bittersweet moment.
