Who we are:

Darthpixel is made up of a group of freelance writers who are not just knowledgeable but passionate about gaming.

Permanently closed.

Pulls the talents and passions of the best gamers/writers together, in order to provide unbiased game reviews that view a ‘videogame’ not just as a purchase but as a piece of interactive art. We have been a part of the gaming world as far back as we can remember. Some of us have been a part of the sales floor at your local game distributor, while others are true blue hardcore gamers, and some simp

ly fit into the category of casual gamers. It is from this depth of experience and knowledge that Darthpixel really begins to shine! We are not just reviewers, we are gamers! The Founder

Carl Thomas, a web designer/developer and entrepreneur. Carl has built his life around technology and games. If you were ever to run into him, it wouldnt be surprising that he is either working hard on a companies website or face close up to a TV as he rocks out a few levels in a new game release. The main games he enjoys and comes to love are the ones who break the mold of the experience, and it is this passion that really drives him to push Darthpixel to be the greatest game review company in North America. His Dream

Carl’s dream for Darthpixel is to bring the future of online game reviews, no longer will we read biased reviews that say nothing about the game in its entire entity! As Darthpixel grows so will the ability for the casual, hardcore, and extreme gamer’s to find the perfect gem of a interactive game play (not just a game but an interactive experience) out of all the ruff. We upload new content everyday so check back frequently and if you want to let us know your thoughts feel free to leave a comment on your favorite posts / games!
