Christopher Yap, host of the 'Games, Seriously' podcast, knows video games. He also knows literature. In this interview, we talked to him about how and in what ways games can make great narratives of cultural importance.

I was delighted to learn over the holidays that my growing-up-far-too-fast-for-me daughters still want Santa to bring them the new Pokemon games. So we thought we'd have a little fun together and come up with a list of our six favorite and six least favorite Pokemon of all time.

Disney Interactive and Marvel today launched Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes -- the follow up to last year's #1 best-selling new hybrid toy / video game of 2013.

With Broken Age, Tim Schafer has upheld his reputation as an innovative developer and storyteller and has delivered a beautiful work of gaming gold.

Instead of just being a button masher, Sesame Street Fighter is designed to help kids improve typing skills (hence the "Volzhsky" and "Crab" words you see in the screenshot above).

Are you tired of games that have you running around blowing stuff up? Enter Goat Simulator, a game produced by Sweden based Coffee Stain Studios, which has the potential to become Game of the Year at Global Game Jam because sure why not.
