As many of you are aware, my passion for games extends far beyond the computerized entertainment we all hold so dear. I was raised as much on board games as I was on videogames and I usually love it when those two worlds intersect. At CES this week, I saw another example of this convergence in theGame Changerfrom Identity Games, a dynamic board game system for the iPad. The Game Changer is a tri-fold board with a docking port for the iPad in the center and flat button pads arranged in a grid on the surrounding panels....

A short Let’s Play preview from the McMillens Here’s Edmund and Danielle McMillen previewing cooperative play inThe Binding of Isaac: Rebirthincluding one of the game’s twenty challenges, Head Trauma, in which you have tons of tears spraying all over the place but they’re low-powered. For this playthrough, Edmund was the co-op partner and as luck would have it, he ended up being the Troll Baby, who drops bombs uncontrollably every so often....

Counter-Strike 2‘s AUG is, simply put, not the most popular weapon in the game.

There are 38 in total to rank – let’s get into it....

Waise the woof This is Mimpi. See Mimpi run. Run, Mimpi, run! Avoid that rotten tooth that could crush you to death! Fetch the bone, Mimpi! Don’t touch the starfish! Admittedly, the most noteworthy thing aboutMimpiis the colorful, almostPixelJunk-esque art style, though some of the mechanics shown look neat in their own right. It looks like it moves a bit slowly and control of the dog itself is likely limited due to the touch interface, but that doesn’t really matter right now because Mimpi is super cute and I just want to snuggle it to sleep....

Well hold on to your undercrackers because after this paragraph you sure as fuck won’t: I lovedBrink.I pre-ordered it, I played it to death, I got a character to the level limit and I even kept track of the short-lived MLG presence it had.

For the most part, eBay sucks. What was once a haven of bargains and rare finds for gamers has now turned into a free-for-all, and people are now selling crap like Jesus Cheetos and alien babies in a jar. It’s a shame, really. That’s why it’s great to hear that one British gamer got the deal of the century from a recent auction. The 16-year-old was lucky enough to be the last guy on earth to hop onto the PlayStation 2 wagon....
