"One Article Remaining" is a new, daily column I began writing on Psychobuttons.com.  I'll generally pick one piece of news in the video game industry (one that I think is noteworthy) and tell you what I think about it.  I write it towards the end of the day after most of the news for that day has broken.

Today's entry was about Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and what consoles it could be coming to this fall.  You can find it here.  Enjoy.

This Week on Psychobuttons.com

I have two new pieces over at Psychobuttons.com this week.

You can find my third entry of "Doppelgamers" here.  It discusses Pokemon and what I think could liven up the series.

And I reviewed Dishonored this week too.  I enjoyed the game quite a bit, but my review does acknowledge that there is a particular way to play the game to get the most out of it.  If you are at all curious about the game, check it out.

I hope to have another "Doppelgamers" article up soon.  Dishonored gave me topic I can write about.  This one will be a lot more of what I intended for the feature to be, aka more like the first one.  I will also be reviewing XCOM: Enemy Unknown soon.  So keep an eye out for those.

Doppelgamers

I have been writing for a small video game website, called Pyschobuttons.com, since this past March.  And starting in August I began writing a feature for it called "Doppelgamers."  In it I "look at existing games or features in games then propose changes that would hopefully make them better."  I call it "Doppelgamers" because the games are very similar to what they were, but different upon closer inspection. You know, like a doppelganger.  Also, "doppelganger(s)" is one of my favorite words.

The first entry discussed how a game's narrative can be tied to its difficulty.  And the second looked at the where the Mass Effect series could go next after it was revealed that BioWare had begun work on another game.

It's a fun feature to write and I'll have the third one out soon.
