The informative video series Extra Credits is back on YouTube, and in their latest episode, they take on the concept of the MMORTS—the massively multiplayer real-time strategy game.

Dragon Age 2 Ends" alt="Click here to read Don't Watch This: How Dragon Age 2 Ends" src="http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/9/2011/03/small_u2fek4ze6ye.jpg"/>

There's more than just awkward sex in Dragon Age 2. There's also, you know, a plot. Which ends in one of two forking paths. Even if you don't have thirty hours plus to spend earning the ending yourself, you could still pick only one of these videos to watch. That's sort of a game! Give yourself some innuendo-laden dirty talk and you're halfway to the full experience. More »

The Zeebo is a new console from Brazilian outfit Tectoy that uses a 3G SIM card to download games. It is a bit on an odd beast - looking like an unholy marriage of the PS3 and a Wii, and the strictly last-gen games selection (Quake, Crash Bandicoot, etc.) may seem a bit underwhelming. More »
