The inspiration behind the Sketchy Gamer column was to provide a look at gaming from the perspective of an artist. Realizing that not everyone is a master of Photoshop or even the pencil, we thought we'd use this latest installment to call attention to some of the better tools out there that would allow our readers to make contributions - no matter their artistic skill level.

Sometimes you developers just make this Game of the Month column way too easy. In a month like October, 2007, this thing practically writes itself.
This is our biggest Upcoming Games yet, probably because we’re in full swing now for the holiday rush.

This is our biggest Upcoming Games yet, probably because we're in full swing now for the holiday rush. High profile games are being released at a ridiculous pace, and gamers will have to be very selective if they don't want to go broke. Here's a...
