Microsoft updated the company’s “Community Standards for Xbox” earlier this week, and while this is normally not news, the content is so damn wholesome that it’s worth a closer look. You can read the whole thing here, and I genuinely recommend you do: the company has gone way beyond simply listing rules you should follow,…
Visual design studio Karakter (who we’ve featured for their Game of Thrones work) were brought on by Ubisoft to help out with Anno 1800, and for a niche strategy series the results are gorgeous You can see more of Karakter’s stuff at their company site and ArtStation page. As for Anno 1800, we probably won’t…
I’ve been playing a few board games that use an app lately, but Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth is the first one I’ve played that’s been designed from the ground-up with a digital companion in mind. Funnily enough it’s published by Fantasy Flight, source of most of the other app-based games I’ve…
World of Goo, a very good game about building silly bridges, hasn’t had an update for its original PC version “since 2008 or 2009″. Then, out of nowhere, today it gets not only an update, but a cheeky remaster as well. The update will be rolling out to every platform the game’s available on “over…
Hideo Kojima’s 1994 classic Policenauts is definitely not in HD, so EA artist Robert Smith has decided to try and see what protagonist Jonathan Ingram would look like in a 2019 video game. Ryan Gosling is the basis of the model, which would normally be enough to get us all a bit weak at the…
Yeah, there’s a new She-Ra out, but earlier this year this group of cosplayers wanted to pay tribute to the original 1980s series with this big shoot. All photos are by Justin Morrison, while the cosplayers are: She-Ra: intraventus Catra: jenevievedevereauxcosplay Mermista: kineticcosplay Flutterina – nikkigeecosplay Frosta – sarahchucosplay Glimmer – momobunnycosplay Entrapta – monstermoosecosplay…
Travelling across the length of The Witcher 3’s map by foot is a slow, laborious and dangerous proposition. It’s a lot easier to just watch someone else do it, and even easier then to watch them do it in a very cool timelapse video that crunches the journey to under three minutes. Look at his…
This is Overpass, a driving game that’s more about getting over very rough terrain, as opposed to racing other cars. It’s out in October on PC, PS4, XB1 and Switch.
Seattle’s Sakura-Con is one of the biggest anime shows of the year, and in 2019 it was held on April 20-21 at the Washington State Convention Center. Justin Cosplay was there taking some photos and videos of the cosplayers in attendance, some of which he was kind enough to share with us below. But you…
Even Mehl Amundsen is an artist from Norway who has worked for companies like Blizzard, Riot and Wizards of the Coast. We’ve featured him a few times here before, but today we’re looking at his take on Lord of the Rings, just in time for Amazon to reveal their Aragorn series and have it look…
The robots have already come for our jobs. Now they’re coming for our pastimes. This is SkyTrek, a mod for Skyrim that is ostensibly a way to automatically travel between two points, but which also basically automates large portions of the game. I am very supportive of the fact its official description specifically mentions it’s…
With Endgame now out, I thought tonight might be a good time to take a look at this incredible 3D model of Scarlett Johansson/Black Widow made by Abdelrahman Kubisi andJeremy Celeste This wasn’t made for the movie—or any Marvel movie—it was just a personal project between the pair. Get a load of the detail: And…
The easiest road to millions on Kickstarter is to release a board game based on a popular property and fill the box with miniatures. Latest case in point: a Bloodborne game has raised almost $2.5 $1.6 million in just a few days. EDIT: OK I’m in Australia and the price defaulted to AUD$2.5 million for me,…
Art house Cook & Becker’s latest line of game prints features huge, original pieces from World of Warcraft, with more from Diablo and StarCraft coming soon.
Earlier this month, Chicago played host to Star Wars Celebration 2019, the biggest convention/party for Star Wars fans on the planet. And where there are loads of Star Wars fans, there’s some A+ cosplay. Mineralbluwas there taking photos for us, and you can see some of the best of it below. If you need an…
I’ve been wondering for years what a Paradox grand strategy game would look like if it was designed for regular humans, and in Imperator: Rome I have my answer. As long-time readers may know, I’m a big fan of Paradox’s grand strategy games, Crusader Kings II and Hearts of Iron IV especially. They’ve got a…

In the real world the Alliance of American Football, a shitshow of a league that was shut down before it could even complete its first season, will never have a champion. But a mod for a PC game can let the truly dedicated/curious try and decide one anyway. Axis Football, which I very much did…
rmemr has created a set of tools called radish that allow for the creation of new, custom-made quests for The Witcher 3, something fans have been dying for since the game’s release back in 2015 The good news is that the tools are up and ready for download! The bad news is that they’re pretty…
In a “how do you do fellow kids” moment for the ages, you can now buy officially licensed Spongebob figures based on the series’ memes. From “Handsome Squidward” to “Surprised Patrick”, there are six figures in all, though sadly the best one—which I hope is just called “sPOngeBoB”—is already sold out. They’re going for around…
