First-Person Shooter Graphics Have Improved Since 1992
Sit back and watch two decades of video game graphics flash before your eyes. YouTube user drloser333 has uploaded a video that unfurls the graphics of more than a dozen first-person shooters, from 1992′s Wolfenstein 3 to 2011′s Battlefield 3.
Grendel And Mage Creator Would Love It If Someone Made His Comics Into Games

The veteran creator best known for psychological power fantasy epic Grendel and the down-to-earth hero’s-journey narrative of Mage never really mentioned games as a pastime in the interviews I read with him.
