Here’s That Sherlock Footage. It’s Kind of Disappointing.
I sort of regret talking up this new footage from Sherlock season 3 yesterday, because with all said and done today there’s not really that much to it.

Because there’s nothing you love more than when strangers recommend random iOS games to you, here’s one that its creator calls “serious,” “artsy,” and “texty.” Sound up your alley? The game is Neven Mrgan and James Moore’s BlackBar. It’s a purely text-based experience, with old-fashioned typewriter font letters outlined starkly against page after white, white…

Thank Goodness: Octodad Sequel on PS4 Uses PS Move Motion Controls
I don’t always enjoy motion controls, but if there’s one game that I feel shouldn’t be without them, it’s the one where you control a wildly flailing octopus masquerading as a human husband and father of two. Young Horses COO Kevin Geisler confirmed on the PlayStation Blog this weekend that Octodad: Dadliest Catch will indeed…

Watch the Cast of School of Rock Play That Great Song 10 Years Later
You know the song I’m talking about. “And if you want to be the teacher’s pet / Well baby you’d just better forget it / Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme / You’d better get me to school on time!” It’s cheesy now, and it probably was back then. But I was a…

It’s no secret that Microsoft’s messaging surrounding the Xbox One has been convoluted, and it seems even the company’s own representatives don’t quite have a grasp on all the console’s features and policies.
