Celebrating International Women’s Day 2017 with 10 Great Games Made by Women
Chella celebrates International Women’s Day 2017, which took place this week, with a list of 10 great games made by women.
Xbox Game Pass: Bigger Hard Drives Required
Todd checks out the new Xbox Game Pass this week, where gamers get access to about 100 rotating titles for $10 per month, plus discounts if they want to buy new games. Seems like a great deal, but he’s finding one unexpected problem: hard drives are gonna fill up fast!
Architecture in Games
Chella looks the way games use architecture to create stories and emotional responses, as well as some of the titles and worlds that have influenced the architecture in the game she is currently developing.
GiN eSports Competition News: February Highlights
Check out the February edition of GiN eSports coverage for the latest news and competition highlights from around the world. Read about the latest from Call of Duty World League, Hearthstone, League of Legends, and news from NBA 2K 2017 including a new eSports League.
GiN’s Hargosh Goes 4K Ultra HD
After months of planning, Todd finally gets all the equipment together to set up a monster 4K Ultra HD gaming system. Equipped with both a PlayStation 4 Pro and an Xbox One S, he’s playing new games and remastered classics in improved resolutions.
Games Industry Shows Solidarity in Wake of Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban’
The video games industry responded to Trump’s immigration executive order, known as the ‘Muslim ban’, in a variety of ways. Chella highlights the show of solidarity displayed by the games industry, as we wait to see how it will all end and what impact it will have.
Time for the 2017 Hardcore Bowl
It’s that time of year again, when Todd simulates the big game and predicts the winner. He’s running slightly ahead of that walrus at picking winners, so we suppose that’s something. Who will win the Hardcore Bowl this year, Patriots or Falcons, and go on to (maybe) win the real game?
Uncharted the Lost Legacy – the Only Game of 2017 Tackling Diversity
There are a lot of great games on the horizon for 2017, but Chella thinks that compared to 2016, Uncharted the Lost Legacy is one of the only games tackling diversity this year.

On The Fence About Nintendo Switch
Todd saw a lot to love at the big Nintendo Switch event, but he’s still on the fence about a few things. The odd way Nintendo is planning to parcel out free games, limited battery life and apparently weak third-party support are troubling. Then again, there is new Zelda and Mario. Will the Switch be hitting with gamers?
