So Nintendo Direct was this week and boy did we get a lot of info thrown at us. Now that we here at Zero1Gaming have had a bit more time to digest all this glorious gaming goodness, here are some of the highlights from the house that Mario built: Read more …
Long-time readers will probably be aware of my love for the Dragon Age series. I’ve covered both Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II on these very pages over the last couple of years.
I hailed the first as an excellent and challenging technical combat RPG, praising its depth and scale, while highlighting its unforgiving nature and its potential to put off the more casual gamer. Read more …
I feel that I need to start this article with a disclaimer: I am not easily offended, especially when it comes to media and art. I believe that art, including video games, music, and movies, should be free to explore any area and any content that might cause controversy so that we can begin to discuss it and discover what it is that makes it controversial. It is one of the main purposes of art, in addition to providing entertainment and escapism. It allows us to deal with what scares us in a safe way.

Now, you and I both know that we’ve had a bit of a rocky relationship lately. We both said and did some things that we regret over the past few years. You tacked on a terrible ending to an otherwise fantastic game when you unleashed Mass Effect 3 upon us. And I sent you a thousand cupcakes in protest. You rushed a buggy and incomplete Dragon Age II through development at the behest of your friends at EA (who I have to say have been nothing but a bad influence on you). And I, gods help me, I paid full price for that game on release day. Read more …
Traditionally the end of the year is a time for looking back at the year that’s been and reflecting on what was good and bad. However, it’s also a good time to look forward to the new year in prospect and ponder what we have to look forward to.
The Zero1gaming team did just that at the end of last year and we made a few predictions about the year to come. Read more …
