To DLC or Not To DLC
Posted by admin on January 20th, 2012
Is DLC really the way to go for the industry?
There’s no disputing it is a good business model, from a financial perspective. Release a game into the market that is, for all intents and purposes, complete. Okay, there are companies out there that seem to think the right way to go to make gamers happy is to make a playable game ship incomplete, then make more money selling them “premium” DLC that j
5 Insane Video Game Challenges
Posted by admin on November 29th, 2011
They say good gamers are those who max out the highest possible scores, or see their names on top of the match list. But we at Redeye Gaming beg to disagree. We pretty much don’t care for the stats. Number of kills? Psshhh. Piece of cake. Top sniper in CoD? Hardly an accomplishment.
You see, we have a different way of testing our skill. If you want to be called a true badass player, see if you can accomplish
Those Games You Can’t Put Down
Posted by admin on November 14th, 2011
Some games are very bad at keeping people playing. Usually, they’re good for a quick run – maybe a level or two – before the player saves their progress and puts it down to work on something else. This isn’t a bad thing, necessarily. As long as the game is fun enough that the player can come back to it to enjoy themselves when they want to, then there’s nothing wrong with the design from that

Posted by admin on November 2nd, 2011
You find yourself delighted at the sight of computers and/or consoles. Your idea of relaxation is you and different kinds of RPGs. At the same time, your idea of a time to be serious is when you battle it out with other people online. It’s official. You are a certified gamer.
It is a known fact that a gamer like you can spend hours in front of the computer or on the couch playing with your PSP. This could bri
The Girls in Video Games
Posted by admin on November 2nd, 2011
Here are at Red Eye Gaming, there are only three ways for our eyes to become red and bleary overnight. The first is during Super Bowl season. The second, playing our favorite video game. And the third is when Tila Tequila comes out with a new, um, “educational” video.
Sometimes it gets hard to distinguish between the second and third categories, namely, telling video games and porn apart. Why is that? I
When Porting Isn’t Practical
Posted by admin on October 12th, 2011
Since time immemorial, it’s been standard practice for game publishers to port wildly successful games to different mediums.
Take the Lego: Star Wars franchise, for example. Starting with the PC, the game made its way to the Playstation (all three iterations), and then the Xbox. Later on, we had versions for the Gameboy and the PSP. Call of Duty? Take your pick: there are games for the PC, PS3, Xbox, Wii, PSP

We here at Red Eye Gaming take our vocation very, very seriously. Just like our website proudly proclaims, we stay up long into the wee hours of the morning, slaying dragons and blowing the heads off opp-fors.
However, even among seasoned gamers there are those who stand out as THE walking definition of “gamer”. These are the hardcore ones whose very lives revolve around the virtual world, and where the
The Increasing Obsession with Customization
Posted by admin on September 27th, 2011
If there is one thing that more and more games are starting to adopt, it is the idea of adding more and more customization options. From games that have RPG elements by the bucket to racing games, players are getting more and more means to tweak, adjust, and configure what they play in the game to their own liking. It is getting to the point where about the only thing missing from racing games would be the option t
Why We Need a Dr. Evil Character
Posted by admin on September 13th, 2011
In 1997, the first Austin Powers movie was born.
What made the film notable was not Austin himself, who irks me as some sort of bisexual British spy with a lisp and autoerotica obsession. Fat Bastard could’ve been good, but his tendency to over-expand on his jokes gets tiresome pretty fast.
No: what made the film memorable was the antagonist, Dr. Evil.
You may be wondering what Dr. Evil is doing on a gaming w
