Nintendo recently announced that Wii U sales more than doubled in September as compared to the previous month thanks to a $50 price drop. This combined with the recent release of Wind Waker HD and the 2014 lineup drawing has even a Wii U pessimist like myself thinking that the console is finally on its…

It’s Simul-tober!
Happy middle-of-October everyone! In order to get into the Halloween spirit UWG is partnering up with some of our fellow bloggers and delving into the dark hallways and foreboding spaces of horror games!

Resonance: Mako Reactor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nswfLcROs-0 Anyone who’s played Final Fantasy VII knows the Mako Reactor theme. While it did not attain the widespread popularity and acclaim that “One-Winged Angel” did, it is still one of the most easily recognizable pieces of music to come out of the Final Fantasy series. We all know why it’s a good theme, we…
The Greatest of a Generation
Eight years. It’s a little hard to believe that it’s already been that long since our current generation of consoles first debuted. So much has happened in this generation, the longest one yet.

Contributor Recap: 10/7 – 10/11
Yet another week gone by; how is it that the time goes so fast? Ah well, the week may be gone, but we here at UWG have a couple pieces of good news to share. First, we’re that much closer to the releases of Pokemon X/Y and XCOM: Enemy Within. We don’t know about all of you…

Ending the “Eh’s”
One of the most frustrating things about being a gamer is falling into the “eh.” mentality. It’s those periods where, no matter how many excellent games are in your library, you simply cannot find a game that you really want to play. It’s not the same as simply not wanting to play games in general….
The Little Things in Games
How often is it that the little things in a game end up being what make or break it for us? Those little details that push a game or its characters beyond being simply entertaining into becoming something memorable and endearing. They’re aspects of the game that don’t get the attention of the more important…
