The Veronica Mars Kickstarter has hit its $2 million goal in less than 12 hours. Jason will be so thrilled
Maybe it’s Skyfall, maybe something else, but it seems there’s some Bond in the air these days. A couple weeks ago we had this cool real-life version of GoldenEye, and today, The Warp Zone gives us another, albeit a significantly more tongue-in-cheek one. In particular, this one features some game-appropriate, yet humorous hand-to-hand combat. I…
Games can be about a lot of different things. They can be about war or romance, politics or zombies, or everyday life. Heck, they can be about all of those things at once. Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, as you might have guessed from the title, is a game about being a sniper. The game came…
A New York federal jury has ruled that Nintendo infringed on inventor Seijiro Tomita’s 3D technology with their handheld 3DS, Reuters reports. The jury awarded Mr. Tomita $30.2 million in compensatory damages. Yow. From Reuters: In opening arguments last month, Tomita’s attorney, Joe Diamante, told the jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that Nintendo…
Bethesda has launched a new store with all kinds of merchandise tied to their games. Some of the Fallout stuff is hot.
Earlier this week, we saw Game of Thrones reimagined as a high school comedy. I mentioned that the high school in School of Thrones seemed 90s, and several of you disagreed. It only seemed 90s, but it was really much more modern. I think we can all agree that this latest spoof, posted by Hunter…
Yes, the trailers for the upcoming robots-vs-monsters flick Pacific Rim are pretty awesome. Also awesome: This funny “sweded” version from Dumb Drum This is the latest in a long run of sweded trailers these guys have done, and I’ve enjoyed all of them. I particularly like the way they do GLaDOS’ voice. Everyone doing well?…
Citadel, the final downloadable add-on for Mass Effect 3, is a hell of a good time. It’s so full of jokes, references, call-backs and gags that it’s difficult to keep up. Plenty of people have been taking to YouTube and elsewhere to share their favorite moments from Citadel, and I thought I’d take the opportunity…
2 Mello, the rapper who made that cool Chrono Trigger/Jay-Z mash-up, has now released a full, free album of them.
DayZ is the kind of game that creeps into the real world with you regardless, so it’s fitting that the filmmakers at DDay Hollywood have decided to make a web series called “Apocalypse DayZ,” which reimagines the game in the real world. These are the same folks responsible for that funny video about turning up…
It’s hard not to feel a little bit sorry for SimCity‘s menu music. The jaunty theme plays every time I start (or attempt to start) the game. It accompanies the loading window that precedes the game’s proper main menu. It’s meant to be a lighthearted entrée to the game. And it would’ve been, if the…
Big Boi and B.O.B. have released this music video for the new Army of Two. It’s… well, they didn’t half-ass it.
Sound Shapes is getting mini-album DLC. And a crazy rocket-cycle-thing? Sweet! Here’s a trailer.
Ron Gilbert, the developer responsible for classic adventure games like Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island, has left longtime collaborator Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Productions, Gilbert revealed tonight in a post at his personal blog Gilbert writes: Now that The Cave is done and unleashed on an unsuspecting world (ok, we did do…
If I were Heather Large, an expecting mother in Illinois, I’d have mixed feelings about the above ultrasound. On the one hand: Your child is probably going to be very powerful! On the other hand: Evil. This image, which comes to us via Metro UK, pretty much speaks for itself. Unborn babies can look like…

Tomb Raider wears its cinematic aspirations on its grimy, blood-soaked sleeve. In the mode of Uncharted, this is a game that very much wants to be a movie—its ‘camera’ is a constant companion, never missing the opportunity for a close-in tension shot or a jumbled, handheld action sequence. As Lara Croft runs through the rain…
Chiptune music is all well and good, but I like to give my ear something to hold onto along with all the bleeps and bloops. So I very much enjoy Aivi & Surasshu’s new album “The Black Box,” which mixes the keyboard chops of pianist Aivi Tran and the chiptune stylings of Surasshu. It helps,…
