We’ve been playing our collective asses off in Soul Calibur IV this last week, taking exhaustive notes on the fine graphics. Love ‘em or not, females in fighting games are always going to be downright sexy. But even though the soul still burns, the SlobsofGaming will never forget the beautiful women of fighting games past [...]

The Olympic Games has tried to grasp this concept, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out.  For example, look at the mascots for this year’s Summer Olympics in Beijing.  All five of them represent something important, but their [...]

With old sports venues falling apart and new owners stepping into the spotlight, more and more new stadiums are being built.

Do you like Guitar Hero? We love it too. It’s a brilliant game. So, we bet that Vagina Hero will make you smile, at least. LOL.

This … is going to be a long one. And believe it or not, it’s a 100% true story. Its relation to World of Warcraft will not be immediately apparent.
