More than likely, most gamers have played some Warcraft game at some point, whether it be Warcraft 1, 2, 3, or World of Warcraft. Blizzard has just given fans another game to satisfy their desire for more Warcraft: a free to play card game called Hearthstone.

Ever since the early demise of the Dreamcast, SEGA just hasn't been that overly-cocky, beloved, big name in gaming that they used to be. The company has had a record of failing to really impress audiences or put out games that seem to rival that of mainstream titles. SEGA's only series that has a loyal following and gets major buzz today is, of course, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Video games have received a fair amount of criticism from popular media over the years, especially when it comes to violence and nudity. Those on the outside looking in only see what they presume to be nerds and geeks wasting away quality time.

On the surface, video games are an entertainment media to the average person, but once you spend the time educating yourself on what lies below, you see not only entertainment, but also art.

Mario Golf World Tour is an upcoming golf game that will be released for the Nintendo 3DS. It has been almost a year since the announcement of this game in February 2013, and gamers have yet to see much of anything.

Many a buccaneer has been educed to tears after learning just how many hours they'll need to put into Killzone: Shadow Fall, and there are still tales on the high seas about the one guy that didn't even manage to get down the pole in Ghostbusters. In Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, you'll captain a ship and kill some templars, but how many people are there alongside you?

Last Friday, Nintendo announced a drop in expected Wii U sales from 9 million to a meager 2.8 million, representing an almost 70% drop. Even before this announcement, however, journalists and fans alike have been debating on how Nintendo can turn their current console around. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Nintendo fans were treated to a number of quality games, both for the casual and hardcore fan. It could be argued that this changed after the released of the N64.

The first of this weeks "Reading Trophies" has us looking at last year's top hit Grand Theft Auto V. It was, at launch, a single player game but has since had its multiplayer component, Grand Theft Auto Online, activated, and there's trophies for both the online and single player portions of the game.
