Battalion 1944

BY: BENJAMIN "FOGHLADHA" FOLEY

In years past, the Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and dozens of other games beat the WWII scene to death in the gaming industry. Players became tired of the constant retelling of essentially the same story. Then game developers moved on. Games in the WWII settings are few are far between and gamers have actually been craving a good romp in a WWII scenario.

Pop's Musings’ of Life: Paying it Forward

BY: POPS

I really don't know when I first heard it, probably in 2000 sometime. It was the name of a movie I never saw, "Pay it Forward". I heard the term and thought, pay for what, how much did they pay, and for how long?

Adding Insult To Injury with Styx: Shards of Darkness

BY: BENJAMIN "FOGHLADHA" FOLEY

I will admit. The little green goblin gasbag Styx was recently introduced to me in a fan recommended PlayStation Adventure. When I originally saw Styx, I made the incorrect assumption that it was like Overlord, where you play a bad guy and just go steal stuff for no reason. I never gave the game a chance just because I typically don't play the bad side of anything. Oh, how wrong I was.

Welcome to Oblivion...

BY:

As your eyes open the warmth of the crackling fire belies the cold dampness emanating from the ice blue crystals. The nagging sense of desperation creeps forth, “Move!” Screams your mind. As you glide towards the door it throbs, “Escape!” With the minimal UI it is easy to forget that you are not of Tamriel.

BY: AOIBHEANN

Maggie - Part 2

BY: OLDGOAT

Harry was worried. They had been home three days and Maggie hadn’t come out of her room. Both Precious and Simon stood guard at her door and would let no one pass. Now, it wasn’t that they would bite or attack anyone. But, if anyone came to the door, they would immediately step in front of the door to block it.

10 Reasons to Explore the Thunderhead Peaks

BY: ALTHEA "BRISEADH" DAMGAARD

I’ve enjoyed a lot of what ArenaNet has done in the expansion of Guild Wars 2 over the years. Sure there are parts that drove me nuts, some that turned me off, but there is something about this game that keeps me coming back, unlike many other games I’ve played. I will admit part of it is the great community at Gaiscioch. However, it’s the fun of seeing what new twist they put in to keep it familiar, but different. What achievements will they give to infuriate us while we scrounge our way across a new map? I’m definitely a goal oriented person and like the fun of figuring out the new things they add, even if I haven’t completed half of what is there already.
