Minor Threat
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor, PC Games
"Games that would be illegal to sell to minors would be those containing 'depictions of: decapitation; bloodshedding; dismemberment; and grotesque cruelty.'"

 
The Big Score
Joe Fielder/Site Director
"It's easy, I guess, to assume that when we give a game a 7.0 we're saying that it's akin to getting a 'C-' on a test."

 
The Ghost of Halo Future
Amer Ajami/Senior Editor
"Still, had it shipped for the PC, what would have been different about it? What would have made the game that much better?"

 
The Boys' Room
Trey Walker/News Editor, PC Games
"My wife doesn't like games and doesn't have much interest in trying to like games."

 
A Resident Evil by Any Other Name
Giancarlo Varanini/News Editor, Video Games
"I've really started to sour on the whole idea of remakes or sequels that take a minimalist approach when it comes to adding new features or gameplay ideas."

 
Melodies, Where Have You Gone?
Axel Strohm/European Correspondent
"In the 32-bit era I was really wondering where all the great game melodies of the 16-bit days had gone and whether they would return at some point."

 
Shady Retailers Are Everywhere
Gerald Villoria/Codes Editor
"Just last week I was at my local video game retailer and was taken aback by what I had witnessed."

 
9-Iron God Complex
Ryan Davis/Associate Managing Editor
"I was like a petty god, dictating the flow of scenic waters, deciding if I should station the landscape maintenance guy near hole three or hole five or if I should just fire him outright."
