The headline says it all, people. I mean, he’s not really Dragonborn. (Though kudos to commenter Andres Cordova for pointing out how obviously Dovahkiin this dude is.) But you’d never know it from watching this kilted, tattooed ass-kicker play AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” in Fremantle back in May. It’s almost enough to make me want to learn…
From Half-Life to DotA 2, Valve’s games almost always have really strong voice acting. And that is, of course, because they hire great voice actors. This helpful guide by Michael Godlewski shows every voice actor to appear in a Valve game, broken down by which games they were in. It’s pretty brilliant. Click to embiggen,…
Looks like Paramount is going to be pulling the Terminator franchise out of that pit of molten lava and rebooting it, with a new movie coming in 2015. Yay, another classic sci-fi series gets a reboot! Wait, did I say yay?
Early this morning we caught wind of bankruptcy-like “civil rehabilitation proceedings” at Index Corporation, the Japanese parent company of Persona-makers Atlus. But their subsidiary, Atlus USA, says they’re “unaffected” by those proceedings and will be carrying on day-to-day activities. Atlus USA is a California-based publisher that localizes and distributes both their Japanese parent company’s games…
Strange things happen in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Things that wouldn’t make a lot of sense in an ordinary town. The always-enjoyable miscreants at Dorkly have helped capture some of those moments in this collection of flyers, ostensibly found on the bulletin board in an Animal Crossing town named, what else, FARTASS.
Any story, no matter how assured the final product, goes through revisions. And The Last of Us is no different. The game’s closing hours may be among gaming’s most confident, but as I learned speaking to its creators, it all could have come together quite differently. BIG SPOILERS COMING FOR THE LAST OF US. YOU…
Leave it to the new Borderlands 2 DLC, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep, to throw in at least one more good reference for the road. The shout-out here is somewhat more substantial than an easter egg—as documented by Gamefront, it’s an entire quest dedicated to Dark Souls. (Insert joke about difficulty here.) I haven’t…
The Last of Us has plenty of easter eggs; some of them goofy, some sly. And one of them, a little bit naughty. Last week a tipster sent in a photo taken from the game depicting two phone numbers on a bulletin board in Pittsburgh, both of which he said were phone-sex hotlines. I called…
A couple days ago, this Dragon Age: Inquisition screenshot surfaced on the BioWare blog. Sure, it’s just a high-res still of what we already saw in the big E3 trailer. But it raises some questions nonetheless. Who are these guys? Is that their hair next to their helmets? What’s that thing on the table? What’s…
The Last of Us may have ended; the credits may have rolled. But this is a video game! Of course it’s not over SPOILERS FOLLOW for The Last of Us The game’s ending was so strong and, well, final that I don’t really feel like it needs a sequel. And no sequel has been announced.…
Awwwww. According to the game’s official Twitter feed, Plants vs. Zombies 2 has been delayed from its July 18th launch until “later in the summer.”
The people working on the Rise of the Triad reboot take the game’s 90s roots very seriously. They’ve already re-created the cover art, characters, and feel of Apogee’s cult classic, and they’re putting the same care into the soundtrack. This video diary details how they’re re-recording the classic tracks from the original game, and if…
You may recall Molyjam, a 2012 “game jam” that brought together amateur and professional game developers from around the world to make games based on the weird ideas espoused by the satirical Peter Molydeux Twitter account. That account, of course, was a joke version of the very real game designer Peter Molyneux. Yes, it was…
Time and again they’ve told me, “Dude, you should play Alpha Protocol!” And time and again, I’ve ignored them. Until now. For some reason, this past weekend I decided to really play the game. There’s a bit of a lull going on right now, with The Last of Us out of the way and, aside…
Here’s Hanako Games’ Long Live The Queen, which looks a lot like the Princess Maker games. In it, you guide a princess into queendom, balancing the various aspects of her personal and professional life, and try not to die horribly in the process. It’s been out for a little while now—you can play a free…
Ah, Ridiculous Fishing. I believed in you, we all believed in you, but it’s nice to see the good guys win. Speaking with Digital Spy, Rami Ismail of Vlambeer, the game’s developer, says that the game has proven that artful, good games can win out despite cloners. The clone in this case being Gamenauts’ Ninja…
It’s not like I’ve seen all that much Pac-Man facial hair. Or really, any Pac-Man facial hair. But this is still the worst. This dude, posted to Uberhumor and spotted by Tosh.0, manages to combine some truly nightmarish facial hair with a generally dopey/high facial expression, sending a clear message: “I don’t give a flying…
What. The. Hell. I’ve seen a video demonstration of NeverWet before, but never a demonstration as all-inclusive as this one, posted about a week ago. The product, which is arriving (or has already arrived) in Home Depot and Red Rose Commons, will turn anything it touches into a magical water-repellant material. More info here Watch…
Jason’s already got me excited for the upcoming Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies, which is coming to 3DS this fall. And now that I’ve watched Nintendo World Report play through 16 minutes of the game, I’m looking forward to it even more. This video (as spotted by NeoGAF), is from Capcom’s E3 demo. It does contain…
And here we have it; a final version of Max Factory’s ass-cheek happy 1/7th figure of Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening. You can find more detailed shots over at Mikatan’s blog. Believe it or not, I’ve played a lot of Fire Emblem and I’ve never even met Tharja. I never recruited her, and am pretty…
