UFC Glitches, Narrated
Glitches in the newest UFC game are fun. But glitches in the newest UFC game accompanied by people pretending to be real MMA commentators? Those are hilarious. Because they’re so heavily centered on mimicking reality, sports games are never as entertaining as when they’re broken. And the stuff in this YouTube clip? They’re grade-A anomalies,…

The Real Life Version of Pixel Sword-Fighting
A cult fencing game deserves a cute, choreographed fan film, doesn’t it? Yes, it does. This Nidhogg tribute is pretty fun, especially because it’s got a bunch of guys in brightly colored bodysuits stabbing each other Apsis Motion Pictures’ cinematic interpretation of Mark Essen’s indie swordplay title works because it’s essentially a live-action cartoon, with…

What A Call of Duty In Vietnam Could’ve Looked Like
Remember when rumors were swirling about a Call of Duty game set during the Vietnam War? In 2010, when it seemed like Activision was going to Southeast Asia, the publisher delivered the first Black Ops (which featured a handful of missions set in Vietnam) instead. That game was darkly paranoid but now-circulating concept art, spotted…

Only One Minute to Play. Only One Life.
If this was 1985, Sixty Second Shooter Prime would be draining quarters from players’ pockets all over the world. Thankfully, in 2014, you only have to pay for it once.

Ice-T Celebrates Call of Duty Wins by Dancing with His D***
It’s a good thing that the veteran rapper/actor doesn’t livestream his video game sessions, huh? During an interview with Conan O’Brien last night, Ice-T talked about his well-documented gaming habit. As you’d expect from a guy who rapped about thug life back in the day, he loves to trash-talk. But the most, um, pointed anecdote…

I Hate The PlayStation iOS App
More than week ago, I got codes for the PlayStation Now beta and the Destiny Alpha. So, I opened up the PlayStation app on my iPhone to redeem them, only to be quickly reminded how bad the app is. It may sound weird but code redemption is the main reason I installed the PlayStation iOS…

UFC Glitch Breaks Gravity Instead of Bones
This is why they call it ultimate fighting, right? Spotted on YouTube, this glitch in EA’s latest MMA title is hilarious in how it surprises you. Guy on the ground looks out of it and like no threat at all, right? Then, all of a sudden, he springs upwards in very broken fashion. His poor…

That Is Some Gorgeous Video Game Sand
Look close and you might be able to guess what game some of the creators of Vane used to work on. Hint: it’s one a lot of people have been waiting on for a long time. If you guessed that Vane shares some artistic talent with near-mythical PlayStation game The Last Guardian, then you’re right…

Where’d All the Titanfall Players Go? To Watch the World Cup.
Titanfall is a great game, one that’s capable of captivating players for hours on end. But the World Cup only happens every four years. As this chart of simultaneous players in Europe during yesterday’s matches shows, sometimes red cards and free kicks take precedence over Burn Cards and unlocks.

Link Looks a Lot More Vicious in Hyrule Warriors. Seriously.
In case you were wondering, when you put Legend of Zelda characters in a Dynasty Warriors-style set-up, everything gets a bit more ferocious. Maybe even uncomfortably so. Usually when you see Link fighting enemies in his many video game appearances, he comes across as determined and resolute. It never seems like he likes the violence.…

Ok, Let’s Try and Figure Out What This Fourth Person Game Is
You might’ve seen a look at Pavilion—the PlayStation exclusive calling itself a fourth-person game—a few times before. It’s tough to parse exactly what’s going on in the indie puzzle creation, even with a new trailer. The best new clue comes from a really weird, really obscure Pac-Man game, where the iconic character goes a little…

Old EGM Articles Are Full Of Beauty And Irony
Rumors about Nintendo launching a handheld. Genesis/Turbo Grafx debates. Charmingly illustrated level maps. Things were very different in the heyday of video game magazines.

But there’s a new mention of “the future addition of titles from the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo 64 systems” on the webpage for the console’s eShop digital storefront.
