World of Warcraft Tier 9 Preview – Brüno-esque Alliance Set So Sex in the Shitty

Tweet Have you seen Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie Brüno? Did you like it? Well, if you did then you’ll probably love Blizzard’s new Alliance specific tier 9 gear — if not, then I suggest you re-roll Horde, which will soon be much easier as Blizzard announced their intent to let players change their faction.

Left 4 Dead 2 Joins the Racist Video Game Club

Tweet As an African-American male in today’s society, it absolutely pains me to see racism become so pervasive in video games.

Tweet While some might not consider this an actual story worth reporting, others might consider it the scoop of the century.

Sumo Sultan Review: The Ultimate Gaming Chair or Ultimate Friend?

Tweet I wasn’t sure how I felt about the Sumo Sultan at first.

Battlefield Heroes Reaches 1,000,000 Sign Ups

Tweet In a short four weeks after its release, Battlefield Heroes has managed to get one million players, which isn’t surprising, considering the positive impressions of the game during the beta.
