Is Frogs and Flies a misunderstood masterpiece? Fans of the 2600 cult classic warn that to dismiss it is to miss out on a ribbiting competitive showdown. Try it yourself in the new #Atari50 DLC "The First Console War," out now for console & PC. bit.ly/Atari50AC

Oct 29th 2009 - The League Premieres
It was a year when Cellphone pictures sucked. Obama became President. Paul Blart was a Mall Cop. Windows 7 was released and Tweet became a word.

“But why would you preorder a digital game?”
Because Digital Eclipse is preserving our hobby, and they deserve all the support I can give them.

Modern gaming is having a spare 5 minutes for a quick game of something, then getting hit with an always online mandatory update that eats into your 5 minutes and half of your evening too

So glad I chose to stay home and watch the World Series instead of going out and counting the number of people wearing Slutty-Art-The-Clown-As-Santa costumes.

"If you grew up in arcades in the 1990s, you probably have fond memories of some very specific games. While lots of great ’90s shows got their own cabinets, there was one glaring omission: The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers never got their own game."

You finish Astro on a lovely note but dw it's not over!
Here are a bunch of fucked hard levels that will make you hate yourself, life, and all of video games!
Wanna collect every bot? Too bad kids that's exclusive to those of you who want to spend hours screaming at a screen 👍

If you're getting stuck on the hard astro bot levels, here's a tip! If you can't do it on the first go but you get super close, you won't get it until your 86th try
Hope this helps!

If the new @MARVELSNAP high voltage mode taught me anything, it’s that I’d play this game 5x more if there was a regular, unranked mode with turn timers cut in half
I got all the HV rewards so there’s no real incentive to play
A regular, fast unranked mode would be dope
