Behold, Four Different Systems Running On A Single Monitor

You’ll probably never need to play Prey on PC, Wonder Boy on PlayStation 4, Mario Kart 8 on Switch and Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 on Xbox One all at the same time, but it can be done with Phillips’ 40-inch 4K curved monitor with MultiView. While I am still in the midst of…

While Injustice 2 doesn’t come out until May 16, the free-to-play mobile version is available in soft-launch on iTunes in the Philippines.

My Final Fantasy Keyboard Has Quina Instead Of A Q

Along with giving folks a comfortable means of typing for hours on end, a decorated mechanical keyboard can also reflect the passions of the user. Since no existing keysets adequately reflected my love of Final Fantasy, I made my own. A nice set of keycaps can completely change the look and feel of a mechanical…

Storm Collectibles’ Ryu And Scorpion Figures Are The Best Around

No one makes fighting action figures quite like Storm Collectibles. From real life warriors like Bruce Leeand Muhammad Ali to a pair of video game’s most famous martial artists, Storm’s kung fu is incredibly strong. I’d meant to showcase Storm’s renditions of Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion and Street Fighter’s Ryu much sooner, but the box they…

Transformers: Forged To Fight Adds Another Cool Bot I’ll Spend Money To Not Get

Random paid character drops in mobile games aren’t new, but I’m really feeling the burn in Kabam’s mobile fighting game Transformers: Forged to Fight. First I missed out on Beast Wars Waspinator. Now I’m not going to get Soundwave. Ugh. Because I love the Transformers characters and concept and the fighting isn’t too shabby, I’m…

Build Your Own Lego Overwatch D.Va Mech

It’s time to stop looking at other people’s awesome Lego Overwatch creations and start building your own . . . versions of their awesome Lego Overwatch creations.

Volta V Wooden PC Review: An Heirloom Gaming Machine

I’ve spent the past few weeks gaming, working and pretending to work on theVolta V, the world’s first commercially-produced handcrafted wooden computer. It feels like it’s part of the family. There was a time when most of our electronic entertainment equipment was either made of wood or, at the very least, stylized to look as…

Paladins Free Open Beta Launches On Consoles

Hi-Rez Studio’s hero shooter caught some flak last year for looking and feeling a lot like Overwatch, but it’s still managed to maintain a healthy presence on Steam’smost-played games list.

Futuristic Racer Extreme-G 2 Is Back And It’s Not Pretty

Acclaim’s Extreme-G 2 wasn’t an exceptional futurist racing game, but I carry many fond memories of the 1998 Nintendo 64 release. Or I did, until Throwback Entertainment’s Steam re-release broke them. Now Extreme-G 2 is a pretty old game, and this is just a port and not some fancy retro remake, but it’sa pretty atrocious…

Last month Bandai Namco announced Code Vein, an action role-playing game about blood-drinking revenants at the end of the world. Now we’ve got the first gameplay trailer, and aside from the dynamic transformations, it’s got a very Souls series vibe.
