He’s Making A New Game Boy RPG

The original Game Boy turns 26 next month, but that didn’t stop retro-hacker Furrtek from developing a new game for it. It’s called Airaki, and as the above screenshot shows, it’s a tile-matching RPG. This is actually the developer’s second Game Boy game—the first one, Super Connard (translated by one reviewer as “Super Asshole”) sold…

Let’s Get Hyped on The Launch Trailer for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

So. Much. Loot. As the launch trailer for Diablo III’s upcoming expansion pack advertises, the end is near.

8-Bit Survival Game Is a Beautiful Journey Through Nature

That scene almost makes you forget how the game is actually about the world ending in an infinite winter. This is Echo of the Wilds. Apart from making a strong argument for the legitimacy of pixel art-based graphics for games made in the twenty-first century, on the surface, it focuses on surviving, resource gathering, and…

The Best Way To Learn Dothraki Comes on VHS

If you wanna raise your kids to be blood-hungry nomad horselords, you need to start early. This entertaining parody of Game of Thrones (and British language teaching program Muzzy) by Nacho Punch does a really good job of setting up that special mood those older As Seen on TV-type ads used to have. Though I…

How Popeye Inspired Pac-Man, And Other Interesting Pac-Man Facts

Like how the famous Pac-Man Google Doodle cost the US economy over $120 million. Yikes. DYKGaming, the undisputed master of all gaming-related trivia, is back to tell us about one of the most influential, popular, and… well, fun, games of all time, Pac-Man.

Early Sonic Boom Designs Caused “Discomfort” to Original Sonic Team

At one point, the current iteration of Sonic and his friends looked even more different compared to their original selves. So much so that it caused quite a few headaches to the series’ original creators. Speaking to GameSpot, Bob Rafei, head of the studio in charge of the character redesigns, said that early on, the…

In a look back on Elder Scrolls Online’s beta, Zenimax Online Studios writes about how player feedback helped them address issues related to combat and early progression, and properly prepare for the game’s April 4 launch by setting up overflow servers.

Final Fantasy XIV’s 2.2 update is upon us. The changes are outlined in this eight-minute video, but the gist is this: new dungeons, new quests, a raid that’s supposed to be hard (the hardest the game has ever seen), and a way to swap armor stats that looks similar to Guild Wars 2’s transmutation system.…

Here’s some fresh gameplay footage from that new cyberpunk, squad-based Syndicate tribute, Satellite Reign, which got funded via Kickstarter last Summer. I’m happy to report that this time there’s significantly less purple. And it looks quite shiny for a pre-alpha, too! Not to mention fun. Vid’s above, have a look.

Yep, Among the Sleep is still hair-raisingly scary, and there’s a new trailer to prove it. The surreal survival horror-themed toddler simulator is still on track for its Spring release date, by the way. Can’t wait to see more reaction videos on YouTube.

One Kerbal Player Launched The Silliest Car in History Into Space

Unmanned, of course. Because putting living beings inside a Reliant Robin, even if it’s upgraded for space travel, is just irresponsible. In case you’re not familiar with the Reliant Robin, here’s a video from British motoring series Top Gear to get you started: Now, the fascinating thing about the Kerbal Space Program recreation of the…
