Looking Back: Old & New 'Star Wars' Games
Over the years there have been many games that have been released on PC and console-based on Star Wars, with some really hitting the market, but others somewhat falling flat. So what were some of the hits? And where were the missteps?

Lyin' Gamer
I’ve hit a very specific age where instead of getting asked how much I bench (which honestly has never once happened), I am asked if I am a gamer. Numerous people, who have nothing to do with each other, have seen me with my fat face, thinning hair, novelty t-shirt, and thick-rimmed glasses, and thought, “That dude spends his free time playing video games.”

11 Games That Need Sequels
There are some games that seem to get infinite, needless sequels. Then there are other games that we love that get an update every other year, or maybe once a console cycle. Then there are the ones that torture us by never receiving a proper sequel, or at least taking longer than anyone can stand. These twelve games need a sequel like, yesterday.

10 Backgrounds for Your Spellcasters
Magic is one of the most potent tools in a fantasy setting, and it comes in many forms. A gift from the gods, a product of long study, an accident of birth, unlocking the mystical potential of music, or a bargain with an eldritch being are all viable paths to power. The thing many of us forget, though, is that these magic users come from even more diverse backgrounds, and they use their spells in a variety of different ways.

Why 'Kingdom Hearts III' Just Didn't Cut It
The year that Kingdom Hearts II came out was the same year I got my first period. It was the year that I started secondary school. And it was also the last year that my parents were happily married. Every single other significant event in my life: my first kiss, my first job, my graduation, you name it, happened during the gap between Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III. I, like many others, lived an entire lifetime between those two games.

Added Value: 10 Great Achievement Lists
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I pop up the maligned, forgotten, and ignored. When the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, one of the features that raised eyebrows was the concept of Achievements. Basically a set of merit badges that can be unlocked for completing various in-game tasks named by the games' developers and saved to gamer profiles for display, gamers were initially puzzled, and the competition was initially dismissive. However, those little meta-rewards caught on so effectively that it actually hurt Sony and their Playstation 3. The original Assassin's Creed sold far better on the Xbox 360 despite the PS3 version being technically superior because of the GamerPoints that can get on GamerCards, and other multiplatform games fared the same way. Within a couple of years, Sony had their similar Trophies system running, and Steam was putting Achievements into PC games.
