BoxBoy, the hero Nintendo’s 2016 needed and star of our “best games of the year” list, will return on the 3DS in February (at least in Japan) with a third game in the series, called Goodbye! BoxBoy! And, more importantly, with BoxBoy Amiibo Above is the Amiibo. Below is the box that includes the game,…
Defender of the Crown, first released in 1986 on the Amiga, was at the time one of the best-looking video games ever released. Or, at least it was on the Amiga. Some of the game’s ports to other systems weren’t quite so hot, yet in today’s world of YouTube nitpicking they remain useful as examples…
Some members of Russia’s parliament have sent a letter to the state communications oversight agency, alleging FIFA 17’s support of a recent LGBT-friendly initiative in England breaks Russia’s “gay propaganda law”. And it’s not about dudes kissing. Well, not explicitly. As The Guardian reports, last month England’s Premier League ran a weekend campaign called “Rainbow…

You find the strangest things at bankruptcy auctions. Like, say, PlayStation 4 development kits full of stuff from the now-closed developers of Sleeping Dogs United Front games shut down in October, and on Saturday morning an auction was held to sell a bunch of their stuff. Among the server gear and office equipment and lamps…
As sad as it is that Persona 5 isn’t coming out in the West until April 2017, here’s a new English-language trailer for the game. Course, for Japan’s Brian Ashcraft it’s already out, so you can check out his impressions (as a Persona newcomer, no less) on the final game here
And it’s a big, proper, singleplayer Mechwarrior game. Not an online thing, not a strategy game,not a mod, but a full-blown, first-person, fifth Mechwarrior title. It’s being developed by a separate, dedicated team at Piranha, the same studio behind Mechwarrior Online Here’s the pitch: In MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries you will adopt the role of a…
Italian cosplayer Leon Chiro has been working as an official Final Fantasy XV cosplayer in Europe (yes, this is something that happens). His Gladiolus is as dreamy as it would need to be to score a job like that.

Well. This is impressive. This is Aoime as Leona (the Radiant Dawn) from League of Legends. It took her over a year to put this together, but its detail and heft looks 100% worth the trouble, especially when you see (below) how she had to move the thing around.
On the left, a photo of cosplayer Lindze A’la Mode. On the right, an advertisement for PC and hardware company MSI. Aside from the crime that it’s a terrible photoshop job, MSI is being taken to court in Georgia because the cosplayer and photographer involved in the original shot say it was made (and used…
The recent changes made to Pokémon Go’s ‘Nearby’ feature, originally only live in certain areas of the US, Canada and Australia, are now rolling out to “the rest of the continental United States and large parts of Europe”.
Cities: Skylines, a game which until this week was all about building things, has a new expansion out. And will henceforth be a game about tearing shit down, burning it, shaking it loose then watching it sink under the waves. The new expansion is called Natural Disasters, and looks to bring a little of that…
2016 has been a hellscape. Everywhere. Even for those managing online video game marketplaces. Pub trivia and business development resource Steam Spy posted this chart earlier today, breaking down Steam’s catalogue by each game’s year of release. In 2012, for example, 379 games were released on Steam. In 2016, that number has leapt to 4207…

The first Watch Dogs game was a mess on PC. The sequel, thankfully, is not. I took the game for a spin last night on my almost-two-year-old PC and found that, after only one adjustment (turning v-sync on, as it was off by default and chopping up everything), the game’s default GeForce Experience optimized settings—normally…
And you thought the Game Boy Micro was small. Jeroen Domburg’s custom lil’ handheld here is small enough to fit on a keychain. It’s so small you can’t even read the text. Domburg spoke about his creation at the 2016 Hackaday SuperConference, explaining that the tiny Game Boy was made using a 3D printer, ESP32…
