Feels like everywhere I turn these days, I see Patton Oswalt. He’s on Portlandia, he’s killing it on Justified. He has a role in the hotly-anticipated-by-me game Metro Last Light I like the guy a lot, and so I enjoyed this short documentary “To Be Loved & Understood,” which was released today by The Thrash…
The grand finale of Fire Emblem: Awakening made me feel things. Emotional things. In fact, it made me feel so many things it kinda knocked me out. This was unexpected. It took me about 27 hours to complete the game. If, about halfway through, you had told me that the ending was going to make…
I always figured I’d be pretty crap if I had to survive in a real-life version of GoldenEye. I was pretty solid at the N64 game back in the day (or at least, I think I was), but give me an actual Klobb and set me loose, and I’d be done for. In honor of…
I have to say, while I enjoyed watching Woody from Toy Story wreaking havoc in Liberty City, I didn’t really think I’d like watching Mater from Cars do the same. Come to think of it, I think I figured my relative enjoyment would be about on par with the difference between my enjoyment of Toy…
Minecraft‘s 1.5 “Redstone” update will be out in early March, says the game’s lead designer. More details here
A writer for The Walking Dead has teased ‘a little something extra’ to come in advance of the game’s second season.
Vergil’s Downfall, the first downloadable add-on for DmC: Devil May Cry, may not be out until March 5, but that didn’t stop some quick-moving European gamers from redeeming their codes early and documenting the entire expansion. Inferno has uploaded a playthrough of the entire DLC, if you’re inclined to watch. Or, you can watch the…
I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen the cover of the recent 3DS strategy game Fire Emblem: Awakening. Dozens, at least. And yet I never noticed that there’s a great little inside-joke hidden in plain sight. Fortunately, Bill Mudron caught it. If you look at the cover, you’ll notice that only one character’s face…
One of the funniest things to come out of this week’s PlayStation 4 event was the four Bungie guys, standing stock-still with their arms at their sides, lookingā€¦ uncomfortable. Also, a bit like a Boy Band The odd appearance was best encapsulated by this image, which has become something of a meme over the past…
Each week it feels like the video game industry is coming up with new ways to get you to pre-order games. Packaged bonuses, collectors’ edition cases, limited edition figures, in-game items, early access to betas, and more. Today, Irrational Games announced new Steam pre-order incentives for their hotly anticipated action game BioShock Infinite. The rewards…
In place of tonight’s off-topic post, I thought I’d turn it over to you guys. What did you think of the PS4 announcement? And based on what you saw at last night’s PlayStation 4 event, will you buy one when it comes out later this year? What Did You Think Of The PS4 Announcement? Based…
One of the oddest, most memorable parts of last night’s PlayStation 4 announcement event wasn’t a game or a piece of hardware. It was four dudes, standing still. Four dudes from Bungie, specifically, who got on stage to talk about how they were thrilled, just absolutely thrilled, to bring their next game Destiny to PS4…
Layoffs have struck the popular editorial outlet IGN, and it sounds as though subsidiary gaming sites 1UP, UGO and GameSpy are all being shut down. Digital media company Ziff Davis acquired IGN and its subsidiaries from Rupert Murdoch’s Newscorp earlier this month. In an internal memo obtained by Kotaku, Ziff Davis CEO Vivek Shah told…
Did you miss last night’s big PlayStation 4 announcement? Want to watch a highlight reel that has the benefit of being both a lot shorter than the actual event and quite funny? VideoGamer‘s Matt Lees has got you covered, with this “abridged version” of the event. I very much enjoyed this. Good show, guys.
“What is this article doing here?” you may be asking right now. “I mean what on earth?? This has nothing to do with the PlayStation 4!” Yeah, well, it’s time for the nightly off-topic post, and DAMN IT, WE’RE STILL DOING IT. Everyone looking forward to Game of Thrones season 3? Cool. I am too.…
Sure, it was fun to watch today’s PlayStation 4 reveal from the comfort of your own home. But that was while it was going on. When it ended, the cameras cut away. What if you’d actually attended the event, what would it be like after the big show was over? Our own Stephen Totilo, Evan…
One of the surprises at tonight’s PlayStation 4 reveal was the announcement that Blizzard’s previously PC-only Diablo III will be coming to both PS4 and PS3 This has led plenty of disgruntled Diablo III players to make themselves heard on Blizzard’s official forums. While many simply voice disappointment about seeing a PC exclusive ported to…
Mojang is now streaming their three-day “Mojam” game jam. The games will be available through the Humble Indie Bundle
The bow and arrow in Crysis 3 might throw off the game’s balance, but it’s still a pretty cool piece of gear. And it seems every time there’s a bow and arrow in a video game, it winds up having explosives attached to it. In this video from RatedRR, host Richard Ryan loads his compound…
Do you like to vote for things? Do you like kicky jams? Then you will probably like this political ad for Henry Heng, who is running for office in Australia, apparently. This video comes to us via Tracy Lien, and I’m just gonna leave it here for you to ponder. Feel free to discuss Henry,…
