Here's where you will find articles with our own take on the gaming world. Read at your own risk! 
Brandy enters the world of high-tech, computer chip design,,
"What begins the tale as an "all-for-one; one-for-all" mindset between IBM, Sony, and Toshiba, becomes a complicated array of strained relationships as Microsoft all but demands (using the universal language of money) their piece of the super-processing power pie."
Bit.Trip BEAT, Guilty Gear XX Core Plus and BlazBlue,
"Considering the high-octane, whoop-ass fighting games coughing weapons-grade amounts of light and noise around the Aksys table, I was astonished to see a couple of very enthusiastic playtesters clustered around what looked like colorized Pong, or a port of Arkanoid for that pocket calculator I had to get in high school to do trig. "
Rebecca checks out Ghostbusters and Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena,
"Atari was showing off both of their Ghostbusters games caddy-corner; I watched two players simultaneously busting some free-floating ectoplasm with Wiimotes-as-positron gliders, and another two prowling a very familiar-looking library with PS2 controllers in their hands."
Checking out the online world of Star Trek and some funny remarks about boobs in Champions Online,
"I have to tell you to start that I'm generally very skeptical of MMOs. Problems I personally have, and certainly complaints I've heard elsewhere are lots of endless grinding, lots of repetition, the so-called 'hamster wheel...'"
Rebecca is enlightened at Comic Con,
"I'd be a fool if I didn't take advantage of the opportunity to ask the question on the lips of every girl in history told that she couldn't play football, vote, drive, or succeed: "Why?" The answers were at turns sensitive, thought-provoking, inflammatory, evasive, reassuring, and hopeful. None were neutral.
"
A look at the Blue Dragon TCG and a Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Terminal,
"The energetic and enthusiastic Diane Hansen was only too eager to run me through a playtest of Blue Dragon, Konami's newest CCG since acquiring the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise. Blue Dragon played nothing like Yu-Gi-Oh- it was pretty fast, the numbers were kept quite small, and play occurred on an attractive play mat (included with all deck purchases)."
Deadly Creatures, Red Faction III and Legends of Wrestlemania up close and personal,
"Deadly Creatures caught my attention right away; in the limited playtest content available, I sent a tarantula scuttling through a bug's eye view of a desert landscape, leading up to a confrontation with a rattlesnake."
Wizards of the Coast showcase Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers and D&D 4th Edition Online Tools,
"The upcoming Magic title for XBLA drew some serious crowds- almost as many as the people who crowded the Wizards booth to play in the constantly-running CCG matches themselves. A few of the folks from the design team gave me a comprehensive guided tour."
