Loot! Free copy of RIFT plus 30 days game time,...
Stay tuned to Pretty Gamer for swag give-a-ways! I have a lot of PAX loot to go through and get rid of, which is awesome for any of you out there who would like it!
To get the loot train rolling, here are a bunch of RIFT free game codes. Yep, the entire game. For free. I know, I know. You’re welcome.
Unfortunately, I just noticed these game cards expire at the end of this month, i.e....

Similar game logos for the lawls - WoW devs enjoy...
Funny story. I stayed at the Sheraton for PAX and happened to be in the hot tub on the top floor at the same time as a couple of the graphics designers for Firefall.
I bring this up because of a recent Destructoid article. The end made me laugh:
“There’s a lot of talent behind this project, including the project lead for World of Warcraft, so it’s a safe bet to keep this one...

PAX Prime Panels: "How to Run Your Gaming Website...
Destructoid’s Niero Gonzales and ScrewAttack’s Craig Skistimas told us all some shit we already knew about running your own gaming site at their PAX Prime panel this afternoon: it’s a lot of fucking work. However, it was sexed up with Jon Carnage, obligatory masturbatory shenanigans, an unveiling of the new ScrewAttack site, and a supremely informative slideshow. Here’s the...

When I first had children, part of my future dream was for them to become old enough that we could play games together. Catching Pokemon with my kids, or having LAN parties inside the house.
What I never imagined was...

Buy Minecraft this weekend, get an additional free...
Well, look at that. I suppose it’s a good week for digging and building and defeating scary monsters in the night games.
The infamous Notch, creator of the uber popular low graphic game Minecraft, is getting married! So in honor of the occasion and all the wub in the land, he is giving away a free copy of Minecraft to anyone who purchases the game this weekend. If you recall, our...

Midweek Madness: Terraria 50% off on Steam! →
I will admit it - I never played Minecraft. I never really saw the appeal of a game that had no purpose other than to dig for hours. That, my friends, is the glory of Terraria. It’s like Minecraft, but with a point!
You get all your hours of digging action in with the pitfalls of scary things coming out at night, but you also get dungeons and bosses. Perhaps it’s the dungeon crawler...

Once, there was Gametap. And it was pretty good - it’s Mac support wasn’t that great, but it had plenty of older and even some new games to play. And then - it went away.
During that time, other digital...

Borderlands 2!
A source has told Eurogamer that a sequel to Borderlands is in the the works. This makes me extremely happy. Borderlands was my favorite game of 2009. It had a solid shooter mechanic, a crazy amount of weapon/ammo combinations, and enough of a story to keep me motivated to get to the next mission. What really separated it from the crowd was a steady release of downloadable content coupled with...

The Old Republic →
This is a 12 minute long gameplay video of The Old Republic, BioWares new MMO based in the Star Wars universe. What I love about this video is the fact that, this is no trailer. This is an in depth look at exactly what sitting down and playing the game is like, which I find invaluable, especially before diving into a new MMO.
The actual gameplay discussion does tend to veer a bit into the overly...
