Here on United We Game, one of the things that often come up in our posts and comments has how wonderful it is to be a gamer these days. With nothing less than a plethora of games at our fingertips and means by which to play them, it’s hard to imagine going back to time…

The Eyes Have It
A few weeks back I listened to a discussion on a “brand name” gaming site about the extreme (and wonderful) progression of graphics in games since the beginning of the last generation. A good portion of the discussion centered around character animation and just how realistic-looking people, animals, and other moving elements in games have…
Minding the Gap
The way I play video games has changed drastically over the past few years. As I’ve alluded to in the past, I only have time play games on the weekends; and some weekends I don’t have time to play at all. I’m sometimes able to make up gaming time on holidays and extended (stay-at-home) vacations,…
The Silent Console
Lurking on the bedside table in my apartment, a devious piece of technology lies in wait. At first glance, it seems like nothing more than a simple tablet; something to provide convenient internet cruising from any location. But don’t let its harmless exterior fool you. This electronic notebook hides a darker side, filled with hours…
Roundtable Discussion – Early Adoption of New Consoles
Is it worthwhile to be an early adopter of a new game console? Are early adopters truly important to a console’s long-term success? There are always questions surrounding the launch of a new console generation, but somehow these and others like them tend to be overlooked, but not anymore! We decided to have a community…

Merry Christmas to you all! Glad to see that everyone is taking a break from all the presents and food to check in with us. Listmas continues here on UWG, and you need only search for the tag “Listmas” to read the posts we’ve completed since last Friday. Following up on the list I posted…
Merry Listmas: Games I Hope to Complete in 2014
When 2013 started, I had a singular gaming goal in mind: complete Skyrim. (Which I did!) Now that I’m facing the start of 2014, I have the same gaming goal in mind, except it involves multiple games. In the past, new years have tended to bring forth crops of new games, and I’ve generally tried…
I Shop (In Games), Therefore I Am
While I wouldn’t call it a “problem,” I have a bit of as shopping habit. In games. And before you start I’m with a “women and shopping” bit, just you hush. But…well, it is kind of bad. Just the other day, I spent over an hour in Grand Theft Auto V driving my character to…
What Does Nostalgia Do To Your Games?
Something I like to do from time to time is read a retro review from one blog or another, or even in Game Informer back when they used to do those. It’s fun to see if an old game you love holds up in the modern age. Whether they do or not varies from writer to…
Beating Bowser is the Key to Happiness
The first video game I ever fully beat was Super Mario 3. And it what a glorious day that was! Browser was no more and I had saved the princess! My siblings were too young to decipher my song of joy, my dance of elation, or my nanny-nanny-boo-booing to all those who had yet to…
