It is obvious, to anyone that visits Pixel Perfect Gaming, that we are bigtime gamers here. While games are important to us, we do read stuff too, both online and off (as in hard copy). That is the purpose of this column, to bring to your attention, our readers, various magazines that we read here at PPG. Some are online only, no print edition available, and some are in print, available on thei... more.

The frantic action is still amazing, the graphics are still great, the sounds really help create an atmosphere that will make you jump as you hear in the dist... more.

Capcom is doing something rather cool (or cheap, depending on your level of cynicism) with the box art for Final Fight Double Impact (announced here) in that they are letting the fans color it.  This not a simple coloring contest, much like stores used to put on around the late 80's (who remembers those?), the winner here gets more than a $5 gift certificate, how about a free trip to New Orleans?... more.

Imagine a world built of steal and dominated by Artificial Intelligence. Machinarium by Amanita Design is built on this premise. Humanity has taken the evolutionary backseat to machines. Robots now populate the world and function like humans would during their daily routines. They live in homes, fall in love, and they are even capable of committing criminal acts.
