video games

The tag video games is most often used by bloggers writing reviews of video games or by people writing about a game that they've played. Kotaku often has breaking news about new games. Wired's Game|Life is a great blog for information about video games and the game industry, and IGN's GameScoop has reviews of new games. Video games are often based on popular movies and books, such as the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling.

Bloggers also often use the tag video games when blogging about game cheats. Game cheats are codes you can enter in a game to unlock features that might normally require hours of game play. They can give you extra lives, make you immortal to and generally let you finish the game faster. IGN Cheats is a well-known site that documents cheats in video games. If you are looking to buy video games, another great resource is Amazon.
