Pop Culture in World Building

Pop culture defines much of our daily life, from the music we hear to the TV shows we watch to the games we play. But do games adequately represent pop culture? Find out what we think in today's Fair Game. Head to the comments to continue the discussion.


A Different Standard

Independency, as the name implies, is about all things indie in MMO development. Should independently developed MMOs be held to a different standard than "big house" games? We take a look in our latest column. See what you think before heading to the comments to leave us your thoughts.


Stereotyping Men in Videogames

It's no secret that women's roles in the gaming industry and in games themselves have been a big part of the news this past year. But what about stereotypical males roles? In Fair Game today, we take a look at that. See what you think before heading to the comments.
