Hey, It’s Spiral Cats!

Photographer Mineralbluhad the chance to do a shoot with Spiral Cats’ Tashaand Doremi, and these are some of the pics he took. More…

Modders, What Hell Hath You Wrought On This Very Serious Strategy Game

Hearts of Iron IV is a very serious video game. Or, it was, until modders got their hands on it. The game, like most of Paradox’s titles,is very mod-friendly. And, like most of Paradox’s titles,there’s a strong historical slant to it, which means you would expect users to create boring, accurate things like improved divisional…

Thatnew Pokémon game’s name sure sounds familiar. I wonder if anyone noticed… Nicely handled.

Mass Effect Cosplay Is Almost Perfect

Blackwater Cosplay and photographer Paul Hillier have teamed up to basically bring Mass Effect’s EDI to life. The photos, shot in a studio, are incredible. As is the outfit itself, a collaboration between Blackwater and Kink Engineering (who have worked on Hollywood movies), which involved many layers of latex glued and layered atop one another…

Here Are Pokémon GO’s Microtransactions

The full, final version of Pokémon GO was released in Australia and New Zealand today. And while the game itself is free, loads of stuff inside it most certainly is not.

Overwatch cosplay is quicklymoving past literal recreation into the world of…more fanciful things. Here, for example, are Soldier: 76 and D.Va. Who are probably pausing for a photo on their way to McDonalds D.Va is Vanessa Wedge, Soldier: 76 is Auzzie L Epilogue: She got McDonalds.

How Not To Scam Publishers For Free Games

So: there are loads of kids out there who try and ask publishers for free games. Most of them are at least up-front about their pan-handling, maybe pointing to a YouTube or Twitch channel that nobody watches. But then there’s this guy, who was busted trying to straight-up scam indie publisher Devolver. I hope he…

The Technomancer Is A Bad Game That’s Still Worth A Look

The Technomancer feels like a 90s RPG based on an 80s comic book. It’s not, of course. The game was released this month, and is not based on anything, instead being an entirely new property cobbled together by Spiders (which is the developer’s name…this game was not made by spiders). But compared to the kind…

There’s Already Horizon Zero Dawn Cosplay

On the one hand, it’s normally weird when people cosplay as someone from a game that might suck. On the other…both Horizon Zero Dawn and its main character in particular look cool as hell, so this is 100% understandable. Cosplay here is by Raven, who made the whole outfit by hand, including the stitching on…

The release of v5.0 of the Dolphin emulator has one very cool trick: it now has proper support for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
