Welcome to Video Game Webpage!

Hey there and welcome to Video Game Webpage, the hardcore gamer's FRESHEST source for industry news and gossip, as well as RELIABLE opinions and reviews! Let's dive right on in and have a look at what's in store this week.

First up on VGW, we've got some news that's gonna blow you away! Can you say... firmware update?! That's right, Home Console has been patched for 08, and in our update of updates, we go under the hood to see how the changes will impact your ProGaming. Hardcore gamers look no further!

We're hardcore gamers here at VGW, and we're not afraid to say when a game stinks. That's why you'll love our feature, Game Package Art Through The Ages - you'll never guess what kind of medical curiosity the Blue Bomber started out life as! And is that a minotaur in your pants, or... wait, let us start that one over.

In From Russia With FUN, part VII of our retrospective look at all things Tetris, we lift the lid on one of gaming's deepest secrets - how Alex Patchevsky's masterpiece was almost co-opted by the Russian Mob! That's right - if it weren't for a well-timed phonecall for Nolan Bushnell asking how to empty the change buckets, you might be playing Tetris with Viggo Mortenstern in Eastern Promise! We guarantee, no matter how hardcore, you've never seen ANYTHING like this!

If you're a hardcore gamer, you won't want to miss our feature on great flops through the ages. You'll never guess where 5000 copies of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial wound up buried - or how John Romero managed to savage his own reputation in a brutal self-raping with Daikatana! And who could forget the Nokia N-Gage? Not John Romero, that's who! If only people remembered John Romero...

While hardcore gamers like to have their fun, there are serious issues in videogaming, an art form now more profitable, respected, financially viable and high-stakes than the film industry. We lift the lid to go under the hood of one of gaming's hot-button issues: discrimination in games. Are we making room for the honeys? Jayde Raymond speaks out on being a honey in gaming - and wait'll you see the pictorial! Prejudice is so yesterday! And hardcore gamers, don't miss our featured preview of the new Def Jam game, which features your favourite urban ballers going head to head and getting sweaty. Sounds a little bit gay to us - but you didn't hear it here!

Every hardcore gamer knows you can always trust our reviews, because we say exactly what we think. If a game's not worth your time out of the box, we'll be the first to let you know. That's not an issue for DeathCon, the hot new sandbox free-roaming crime thriller that's like a Scorsese movie on your Home Console! Check out our 9.5 rating if you don't believe us. Also hot is DragonSword, the sandbox hack-n-slash rpg that's a must for fans of BloodSun or EtherGate! We give it a 9.7 - check our review!

Not all this week's games are winners, though - the eagerly-awaited SandCrash suffers in conversion. Still - such eye-candy! Pretty - we want! Check out our 9.3 review! And hardcore gamers only need apply to FrostSlash Academy - this one's plagued with near-unplayable bugs! Talk about broken - read our 8.7-rated review if you don't believe us!

Finally check our GamerBlogs, where we dish on what adventures your hardcore compadres have been getting into this month. And check Sbuppy HoonPants, our irreverent webcomic that's not afraid to shatter a few of hardcore gaming's sacred cows!

Until next time, VGW readers - stay hardcore!
