Assassin’s Creed IV’s Fancy New Smoke Will Probably Get You Killed

The latest patch for Assassin’s Creed IV on PC added support for some fancy PhysX particle effects, which includes smoke. Lots of smoke. In fact, enough smoke to prevent you from telling what the hell is going on—which can be something you might actually like, sure. Chaos can be fun. But still, my guess is…

A Sandbox Game that Lets You Do Anything. Anything.

In an attempt to better explain what their game is actually about, UemeU’s developers put together a new trailer. I think I understand now. And I’m amazed. Give the trailer a watch here: It’s hard to believe, but all of that, everything, even the spaceship part, is from the same game. It’s sandbox taken to…

From Cute to Awkwardly Hilarious, These are China’s Matching Couples

In China, dressing similarly is a bit of a thing between couples, and sometimes even friends. So having a competition between matching couples makes a lot of sense.

How a Nice Gesture Ruined the Latest Banderas Meme

“Ruined” is a strong word, actually. Especially when you consider how adorable the end result is. D’aww! You may recognize the two guys above: one of them is Shiro Kawauchi, the rather emotional head of Sony Computer Entertainment Korea, and the other is Hong Suk Min, one half of the husband-and-wife pair famous for camping…

Skullgirls Changes Name, Will Be Re-Listed on Consoles Next Year

Everything’s okay, or at least, will be okay, according to Skullgirls developers Lab Zero: the game will live on. As you might recall, following Lab Zero’s and Konami’s parting of the ways, hand-drawn fighting game Skullgirls was slated for de-listing on the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. It still is—the game will be…

Minimalist Post-Apocalyptic America Sure Looks Pretty

Don’t let the nice, sharp colors and shiny polygons distract you, though. It’s hard to survive in post-apocalyptic America. Indie group Ice Water Games is currently working on a little project called Eidolon, which takes you on a journey across a post-human Western Washington filled with rolling, green hills, massive forests, and burnt-out husks of…

I’d Love To Work at Apple’s Minecraft HQ

No, actually, I changed my mind. I’d get stuck in the basement, the power would go out, and zombies and skeletons would be everywhere. Maybe I’ll just look. From afar. Minecraft player and overall awesome person Michael Steeber spent two years crafting this spectacular build of Apple’s HQ at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California. It’s…

These two whales are just a (relatively) tiny part of LetsLente’s huge, utterly beautiful “Oriental Minecraft Dreamscape.” Lente posted the finished project to Reddit’s r/minecraft a bit over a year after sharing a WIP screenshot depicting a single, unfinished whale.

Cutesy Side-Scrolling MMOs Are Not Supposed To Look This Good

It fits, considering the new cutesy MapleStory won’t be its typical side-scrolling self. Indeed, for MapleStory 2, they’re abandoning the now familiar side-scrolling look for the Korean-made online RPG in favor of a more traditional isometric business. Like Ragnarok Online, basically, but in full 3D. Not that the new cinematic trailer shows off any of…

Do You Love The PS4 Enough To Eat It?

No, stop eating your PS4. I said stop it. Stop! Instead, have a look at these lovely PS4 cupcakes. They’re the creation of Stephen Rushbrook of UK developer Stainless Games, where it is office tradition to bring in treats on one’s birthday. Back when the PS4 was announced, there was lots of speculation surrounding its…

It’s Amazing What Modders Can Do with the 15-Year-Old Half-Life

Watching The Core‘s trailer makes you forget you’re looking at a mod for a game that came out in 1998. It’s just gorgeous. The Core is an in-development total conversion for the first Half-Life. It takes place during the resonance cascade, which is when Gordon Freeman and his scientist buddies accidentally unleashed the aliens of…

“[Going forward with the first Xbox] was my decision, my accountability. We had some bumps on the road. And it was important that I stay accountable, stay patient, and stay behind the decision that we made.” Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, to CNN on his role in the company’s first forays into the console gaming industry.

Cliff Bleszinski’s Working on a “Proper” PC Shooter

Cliff Bleszinski, of Unreal and Gears of War fame, recently appeared on a podcast to talk about, well, the Oculus Rift, mostly. But he also dropped a few facts about his upcoming project which, as it turns out, will be a bit of a blast from the past. Cliff, along with his wife, Lauren, were…
