From that single title grew blossomed one of video game's most successful franchises, one which reshaped what it meant to play video games with other people. Now, Microsoft's commemorating a decade of Halo by issuing an upgraded remake of the series' first game. Is this trip down memory lane worth your money? Let's take a gut check. More »

Invisibility's been a power in video games for a long, long time. But one Elder Scrolls V player managed to make his avatar all see-through without benefit of any spell or ability. YouTuber MrTheVestman happened upon a random combination of collectibles that takes his countenance clean away. He's kind enough to walk viewers through it if they want to replicate the apparent glitch themselves. Let's see how long this hollow man tomfoolery sticks around before it gets patched out. More »

The Assist Me guys continue their in-depth looks at the new fighters coming to the Ultimate update to Capcom's crossover, with the spotlight turning to the Devil May Cry series's doppelganger half-demon Vergil and Nova, Marvel's cosmic champion. You might think that Vergil would play just like Dante and that the Human Rocket is just a blunt-force brawler, but fighting game guru Max and a slovenly Doctor Doom show you otherwise. We're only about two weeks from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's release, so it's great getting to know the strengths of the new additions to the game's roster. More »

What you've got to love about Suda51 is the way his avid embrace of junk culture and grindhouse aesthetic informs everything he does. The buckets of gore in all of his games, the lucha libre wrestling mask he used to do interviews in and the foul-mouthed, hormone-plagued tension in No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned make them all more idiosyncratic than most other games out there. The newest trailer for his latest game, the PlayStation 3 and box 360's Lollipop Chainsaw, puts all that on display again. You'll get to wave your pom poms in March of next year. More »
