Inq. of the Week: Girl Gamers
Getting right to the question this week: Should Girl Gamers really be treated so differently? Via Game|Life I saw this Gamestop display that seemed to really get their tights in a knot, and I began to wonder, how bad of an idea is this really? Certainly placing it right at the door to the store […]

A Little Rumor Control
Though I will be posting this week’s Random Encounter later this evening, I wanted to address an uncontrolled rumor that tons of bloggers seem to be rampantly throwing around. A post on EvilAvatar started stories circling around that EB Games was going out of its way to cancel E-bay auctions of pre-order PS3’s, but thankfully […]

Going Critical on Freeware Games
For my inaugural posting of Going Critical here at Critical Hits, I thought I would focus on some of the best free games that exist in this wonderful land we call the internet. MMORPG Silk Road Online Description: A MMORPG about oriental mythology involving the Silk Road that stretched from Roma into the heart of […]
Have no fear – the apocalypse is not nigh
Blizzard has pushed back the release date of Burning Crusade to January 2007, for a second I thought the anti-christ was going to be here before I could hit level 70. Can’t join you in heaven God, must run molten core! Linky
