The Ultimate Video Game Crotch Quiz

By Will Tuttle and Brian Altano | Articles | Jun 4, 2010 6:00 PM | Comment

We here at GameSpy like to consider ourselves cultured, classy individuals. You might have noticed some of our recent hard-hitting features on "serious" issues like Religion's Role in Video Games and Love in the Time of Video Games, but we have a lighter side too. For instance, we really like crotches! That's why we've decided to ditch those high-falutin' features that make you think in favor of one of the most insane tests you'll ever take. You might know your gaming history, but do you know your video game crotches? Read More »

We reviewed Super Mario Galaxy 2 recently, and our readers had a few things to say about our terrible, dream-shattering 4.5-out-of-5 score -- which was singlehandedly responsible for the Great Depression, the San Francisco earthquake (both of them), and opening the Ark of the Covenant.

By Ryan Scott | PC Articles | Jun 3, 2010 11:30 AM | Comment

In terms of competitive strategy games, League of Legends is one of the biggest things to hit PCs (and, soon, Macs) in a long time. The spiritual successor to the wildly popular five-on-five Warcraft III: Defense of the Ancients scenario has experienced rapid growth since its October 2009 launch -- and later this summer, developer Riot Games is rolling out a bevy of new features and enhancements to usher in LoL's long-awaited competitive ladder. I recently chatted with Riot president/executive producer Marc "Tryndamere" Merrill and design director Tom "Zileas" Cadwell and got some exclusive insights about the game's first ranked-play season, and its future as a serious competitive strategy game. And if this is any indication, it's a good time to be a LoL fan. Read More »
