There's comes a time in the life of a gamer where games become, for lack of a better phrase, part of you. They shape your experiences, they bring you joy and you can have intense debates on video games and the industry. I, myself, have an immense respect for video games and will defend their credibility until I die. Why? Because of the above. Video games bring me joy, they bring me sadness, they are great fun, you can make friends through games and (I think most people overlook this one) video games are an amazing tool for storytelling.

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
