Oh, Ziema Lubuska, today is your lucky day! Apparently a games blogger for Gazeta Lubulska (Circulation: Maybe fifty grandmas out in Zielona Gora, Poland) just rocked the world with his review of Bioshock 2 saying that the game is a "Shock" and asking if "this is the direction video games are heading?" While his arguments are slow-witted and dull, it's definitely giving a small paper in rural Poland a nice boost in pageviews.

December was the best month ever for video game sales
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No Comments
Looks like the recession is helping at least one industry. NPD Group reported that the video game industry turned in $5.53 billion dollars in sales for December, topping the results from last year by 4 percent!

Posted on December 15, 2009 | No CommentsThe Media Democracy Survey tries to ascertain America's entertainment habits. It comes out every year, and this year's edition just went live. As you might image, the terrible economy played a major role in the way Americans went about their business this past year.
