Yes, I have joined the fight in Battlefield 3 (and blame it on all my delay of updates >:D) , because it is that awesome. It is the first first-person shooter I see that really captures the dusty and smoky feel of a real battlefield, high recommended if you are a modern special forces buff.

Most pro video players are courteous towards their opponent; as if to make their prey feel better before the coming onslaught.

As gamers are also people they inevitably aged, with age comes the inevitable increase in life's responsibility and obligations that all cuts into gaming time. What is a gamer to do if there is a nice game out but one simply could not find enough time or energy to properly enjoy it?Well, if it happens the gamer in question has a sibling/friend/room mate who is also into the hobby chances are "

The recent economy hardship experienced in the "developed" world can be felt even in the gaming world. Countless middle classes who are the back bone of gaming industry fell into demise and the number of video game players some how become stagnant while the number of game titles continued to roll out ... how is a game going to attract more players in such harsh condition? Well, going "free" is

In less than half a century after video game was invented, it has slowly but surely showing signs of its influence in our daily life. From introducing catch phrase, showing up in main stream media, inciting political issues, making people meet one another to naming children after video game characters... we have since been there, done that.

Cyber gold mining can not get any more serious than this: it is reported North Korea finances its nuclear ambitions with the proceeds of an MMO-gold farming operation. Of cource shortly afterwards North Korea flatly denied it. But as far as conspiracy theory goes, it would seems this idea does has some solid footing to it, don't you think so?

A few months back ago there was a downer period with not much significant game titles released but this game Homefront caught my attention for two reasons: 1. It has an interesting background story with a kick ass opening video to boot. 2. Malaysia was mentioned in the game with an interesting and LOL twist. The game itself however unfortunately falls a little short of the hype.I understand the

Crysis 2, one of the biggest video game this year was leaked before it was released. On one of my tea session with my friends someone joked all that nano suit technology is no match for the determination of cyber pirates. The image of someone wearing the nano suit and got overpowered by a mere old-fashioned pirated stuck in my head ever since.

The blast from the past continues.The thing about corporation is that in order to maintain maximum profit or simply when venturing into something with elements they cant handle outsourcing is the natural outcome.Things gets more complicated when a game is done by a company, relies on another company for game hosting AND yet another company for digital distribution.The above strip is based on real

The update monkey for the monthly comic died at the start of this year for some weird reason and I was in real life hot water then resulting in none of the monthly comic being posted thus far. Well time for some catching up to do.Yes, any proper hard core gamer would have gone through a period of time when the individual played so much video games the subject's parents would taunt ceaselessly

For the last BrickGamers of the year, we wanted to touch on a topic that we believe is quite close to gamers' hearts which is a far cry (pun not intended) from the glory golden good old days of gaming before Wall Street came and bastardised the holy sanctuary that was the domain of gamers everywhere. Yes, we're talking about the ever-pressing need for money in modern games to get by anywhere -

The past weeks has been such a time so one tried walked away from this and have a second look at it.All things considered I still love doing this but the schedule format doesn't seems to work anymore as it cracked under daily grinding pressure, so from now

You're a gamer right? Why else are you reading BrickGamers if you're not? Oh, right - you're a LEGO fan! Well if you're also a gamer, chances are you've been to a Gaming Expo or Show to catch the latest showcase of upcoming games, make it an outing for fellow gamers to catchup on good times, and in today's Japan-crazy Anime / Manga world, catch some good CosPlay (Costume Dressing) people too!

Wow, it's been 50 BrickGamers comics since we started in GameAxis, the South-East Asia regional print gaming magazine. Hard to imagine we've come so far so we've still a far way more to go! Well done Jack!  For the 50th issue, we decided to do something we're seeing a trend in the gaming scene - female gamers!  That's right, girls are beginning to enter the scene while it has mainly been a boy's

Famous words by the Terran Marine which StarCraft 2 fans will recognise and in the case of BrickGamers, it's about time for our flagship comic which we somehow forgot over the past month!  Whoops!

This subject came out the other day when my gang of friends went out to play starcraft 2 together in a cyber cafe on our weekly bash. Regression in the name of progress in its finest example.Another reason why I have a number of gamer friends who refuse to buy original copies of SC2, forking out 250 bucks (yes, if you are in this part of the world that is what the price tag looks like) for a game

Did you know that gaming has evolved into a social class as the rest of society as well? Sure in the past it's as simple as either you're a gamer or not - but these days, as the gaming industry has been infiltrated by corporations eager to make money of a rising trend of gamers, the social class system which controls our world has now entered to 'sacred' sanctum of gamers as well.

We missed last month's (July) issue of BrickGamers 47, where we covered about the recent World Cup @ Africa, because we got caught up with our Football / Soccer 2010 special over @ BrickLives!

All things on hiatus but hey, it was worth it after a decade; a point which is best illustrated in this "old news" of Singapore Man Cries After Being First In Country To Purchase Starcraft II.Just look at that, without reading the captions you would have think he just became a father wouldn't you?

If you happen to miss this gem news from Gizmodo's PC Gamers Too Good For Microsoft's Cross-Platform Gaming Project ... let it be known that the software giant is aware and capable of combining players from both platforms into a single playing field, but they won't do it. The idea of having their console customers dishing out huge load of cash to play Xbox only to be bitch slapped by PC users

The process of making a com ready to retire is always like a time trip to the past as you browse through all the files and it was like "oh man! These stuff is like from another life time..." when it was actually just 4 years ago. But then year 2006 definitely sounds like another age now.You also get to realise a lot of stuff which you thought were important is actually junk in the long run,

A recent real life drama which definitely potrays all gamers in bad light, Gamer stabs opponent after in-game knife kill in Counter-Strike makes for a text book case in which people argue violent games promote violence - which stands for may be 0.00001 percent of all gamers population.

A bit lost about what this whole comic is about? Then perhaps you haven't read about this before - Blizzard introduced to World of Warcraft, a horse mount called the Celestial Steed, but it's not free. It costs USD25 and offers you 310-percent speed. So if you're a traveller in WoW, you might benefit from the 310% speed increase across the virtual world. However, if you're already paying for WoW

Based on a true story... so it goes the fella in question was defeated in a way which was like totally owned. Before he left the game he said something native to himself and after that he messaged the same thing again via the network, lovely.

This strip is inspired by the online video of girlfriend deletes boyfriend's WoW character and BF destroys his computer with a twist ending.

A lot of you who played online games can understand how some virtual items are either so powerful or have such novelty value they can actually fetch real money in reality despite being just a cyber item inside a game.As with all valuables they attract the people who would want to make them their own for either self satisfaction or conversion to cash. Well, since they are virtual item inside

Sort of a modern day gaming bummer, you leave your beloved games for a while when life distracted, when you came back eager to play instead first you are most likely to hit the update bars.

From the big boss who is responsible for World of Warcraft comes the latest comment which we gamers suspect might be the case all along :DRM is a waste of time.

Talk about making existing situation into an advantage... ever since the new "must be online all the time" policy made it into a whole new range of game titles the term DRM has became a byword for evil itself for a certain number of gamers.Certain old games has came out since and labeling themselves as "DRM Free". Simply ingenious.

What do you think? Do modern games make you feel like the gaming company doesn't respect you? Is it a Far Cry (pun not intended) from the glory days of gaming where the customer (or gamer in this case) was placed first as how all companies should be doing and the very idea businesses should be following as per original intention? Or has the excessive 90's and post-Millennium trend caught up in

The local afternoon heat without the remedy of an air con can be a terrible thing... so I would imagine it is not uncommon for a local gamer without an air con to "dress" up like a barbarian while he is playing in this dead lock heat.

In the long standing traditional old school view that games are mostly made for boys and designed by boys (still is!) comes the common sight of scantily clad women standing with her heavily armored male counterparts. Kind of makes you wonder which is the "weaker" gender when you think about it. The recent "exhibit A" candidate for this issue is Lost Planet 2.

By now most of our better informed readers should have some how heard of the Fancy Horse Makes Blizzard $2 Million in Four Hours news.

Well it is the natural thing to happen...Starcraft 2 Beta Cracked & Available for Download. While the users can only play against AI opponent (should you follow all the steps properly... that is), none the less one get access to try out all the shiny new toys and gets the first person feel of playing it.

How do you buy a game? Go to your favourite pirated/illegal game seller - or if you have the bandwidth for it - online? Well, partially that's true. But there's also another side to how a gamer actually buys a game. For BrickGamers 42, we decided to explore this 'adventure' of buying one...As usual, just click on the comic and it'll open in a new tab/window with the larger version. If you're

Read it in the online buzz about StarCraft 2 beta keys being auctioned for around $300. If you are staying near my area that would mean a whooping RM1000+ for a beta key.

Yeah well this is the age of electronic games. Big high definition TV with uber dynamic lightnings, who is not to like the press-the-button and get in the action fast culture? The irony is that old school gaming like paper and pencil become some what a luxury in the current scheme of things because of the sheer amount of time and dedication needed to run it good. Of the people who really got time

Are gamers cool? Are you a gamer? Do you think you're cool? Do others think you're cool? Gamers (non-sports kind that is) have usually been seen as geeky or even nerdy, but of late, with the dawn of the information age and gadgets, technology is seen as a cool thing as people need geeks to teach them about the modern world. With that, gamers are being seen as cool with electronic sports... (click

Life imitates game, and comic imitates life.Read the real version in Grand Theft Auto Suspect Busted Playing....well, GTA.

From pixelated plumber to the present epic scenes, the gaming industry has grown from the humble geeky past time to the main stream entertainment with the bottom line numbers rivaling even the biggest movies around.And of course, everything comes with a price.

Our bad. The Christmas and 2010 New Year gaming delayed us for BrickGamers 40. That's 40 comics that's appeared in GameAxis (a South-East Asia regional monthly print game mag) since we started 4 years ago. This doesn't include the 70-over Web-only BrickGamers comics which appears on this site 3 years ago! Now due to requests, our GameAxis converted comics for the Web have been enlarged to

You can read more about this in the report of the Most Pirated Games Of 2009.Some say it's because its a good - if not great - game, while others insist it's a backlash from the issue of Modern Warfare 2 PC won't support dedicated servers.Either way, the bottomline of the massive sales should please the developers from taking this path, a decision which can leave a lot of players with not-so-fast

For all Malaysians (or Singaporeans, or Asians for that matter) who are waiting for LEGOLand Malaysia to open in 2012, here's an update to what's happening in the Johor state, which is where the theme park will open. We previously mentioned about this here.It will be located in Nusajaya, which will be the new admin city instead of Johor Baru. Nusajaya is part of a larger area known as the
