Seinfeld… in the Oculus Rift

Like millions of hapless people around the world, you have the apartment set from Seinfeld emblazoned on your eyelids. You blink and there it is, waiting. You’ll never not know what it looks like. Now, if you own an Oculus Rift headset, you can strap it onto your head and walk around it. It’s almost…

This Titanfall commercial is better than most video game ads. Of course, once the game comes out, you won’t be leaving the house for nice walks as much.

​Here’s the Company Guide That You Get If You Work at Nintendo

You’ve seen the handbook from the people who run Steam. Now, here’s the company guide that employees at the House of Mario receive. It’s a damn pretty thing to look at, even if you can’t read Japanese. Nintendo fan blog Before Mario has images of the internal publication that gets handed out to people who’ve…

​Games Still Getting More Money Than Anything Else on Kickstarter

Kickstarter just let the world know that they’ve pulled in more than $1 billion dollars for thousands of crowdfunding projects since the company launched. And the category that raked in the most cash? Games, once again, to the tune of $215.75 million. That number includes campaigns for both digital and non-digital games. It’s telling to…

Why ​Mighty Avengers Is My Favorite Marvel Comic Right Now

I thought I was going to have to drop Mighty Avengers because Greg Land’s art is so off-puttingly plastic. (That great art above is by Ronald Wimberly.) But the series is too damn good for me to abandon. I might even like it more than Daredevil or Hawkeye. I love Mighty Avengers. Written by Al…

Like Limbo, but with a tiny space probe. Color me intrigued! Created by Mixed Bag Studios, Forma.8 will be hitting PS4, Vita, iOS, PC, Mac, Linux, Wii U and eShop later this year. Xbox platforms are a bit conspicuous in their absence, huh?

Thief‘s first PC patch is out now. It’s supposed to fix some crash issues and optimize memory usage. If you’ve been playing on PC, has the game been working all right for you?

​What’s a Fourth-Person Game? Apparently, This Is.

You got your first-person games. You got your third-person games. And now, if you own a PS4 or a Vita, you’ll be getting a fourth-person game. Last time we checked in on Pavilion, all we had were descriptions and words to try and figure out what dev studio VisionTrick Media meant by fourth-person. But now…

​Forget That New Rambo Video Game. Play This One Instead.

There was a Rambo game that came out recently. The quality of the title looks dubious, at best. Rambo: Last Blood—a new indie game featuring Sylvester Stallone’s iconic, burnt-out vet—is probably a whole lot better. I can’t describe much of what happens in Last Blood without spoiling it so let’s just say that it involves…

Republican Tax Plan Would Screw “Violent Video Game” Companies

Tax credits are the kinds of things that most video game lovers wouldn’t think about when considering where their favorite releases come from. But the publishers and developers that distribute and create games depend on them when figuring out the financials of their particular businesses. Now, a Republican tax proposal would deny that relief from…

​The Next Tony Hawk Game Will Be on Mobile [UPDATE]

And it sounds like it’s being built primarily for mobile devices. In an interview with Bloomberg, the legendary skater spoke about the next game that will bear his name, saying…

Crazy Nintendo Investor Wants Us To Pay $0.99 For Higher Mario Jumps

“Just think of paying 99 cents just to get Mario to jump a little higher.” No. Let’s not think of that. Ever. The quote above, in today’s Wall Street Journal, comes from Seth Fischer, manager of Oasis Management, a hedge fund that owns shares in Nintendo. The Journal got a look at a letter from…

​The View From Under a Skateboard Looks Freakin’ Sick, Dude

Tell me, grasshopper, what a skateboard would see if it had eyes? Seriously, zen riddles aside, the experience would probably look exactly like this. The guy steering the action is skater Dean-Paul Denniston, who strapped a GoPro camera underneath his board. I love how the wheels on concrete creates this low, hypnotic hum. Then a…
