Video Game Resources and Buying Guide
Nothing beats wasting an afternoon creeping through the trenches and sneaking up on enemy soldiers, slaying monsters from the nightmares of fairy tales or piloting a cool anthropomorphic monkey in a go-kart race. Still, one of the great secrets of gaming is that reading about video games -- checking out reviews and peeping news of upcoming guides and systems -- can be as fun as playing the games themselves. The Internet is a valuable resource for gamers and buyers. There's no better place for content to flourish in a constant stream of up-to-date information.
