Chella plots the demise of the Guitar Hero franchise and finds that it’s a bit more complicated than just competition from Rock Band that did the game in. RIP Guitar Hero.

With games like L.A. Noire picking up on the film noir theme, Chella lays out the ten style rules that absolutely have to be followed for a shadowy gangster game to be successful.

Holy MMO, Batman! DC Universe Online launches and Chella finds a game with a lot of firsts, like being able to fight alongside real superheroes, and letting PC and PS3 gamers play together.

Whereas 2010 started off slow and finished strong, 2011 already has its fair share of "can’t wait to see" games like Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 and Journey.

Stuck inside behind a blizzard of holiday snow that’s socking Europe, Chella takes the time (she’s got a lot now) to look back on the beautiful year that was 2010, and to wish us all a Happy Holiday.

A British documentary promises to really delve into the problem of video game addiction, but then gives us nothing but the same old yellow journalism crap we’ve seen before.

Chella laments the fact that Fable III’s much hyped moral system turned out to be a bit underwhelming. But then again, very few games get the whole good or evil thing right.

Not being able to pet the cat. Dying instantly when touching water. The Incredible Hulk can’t smash a wooden door. These are the spell breakers we hate in games.

Chella is getting a little tired of the same old Nazi/zombie/alien plots in games these days. So she’s planning a weekend with new titles that have none of the above.

Fifteen years ago, the original PlayStation changed the world. It transformed geeks into gamers and showed us worlds we could hardly imagine. Celebrate the good times!
