This past generation the gaming industry was all about the "girlfriend mode", but now a Borderlands 2 designer has found himself in hot water for using that term...

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is the world's greatest video game designer. That doesn't mean he hasn't made his share of duds though.

If you read a lot of gaming blogs, you soon realize there are only so many things to be written about video games.

Last year Nintendo launched the 3DS and learned a bitter lesson about releasing a new platform without a real system selling game.

Yup, that's right, recently somebody asked Shigeru Miyamoto, the most recognized and respected game designer in the world, what his favorite non-Nintendo game from 2011 was, and his answer was Angry Birds.

Covering the video game news beat isn't as easy as you'd think.
