Why Sandusky? Because the Kalahari is a resort with a tropical-themed swimming pool…
Now that he doesn’t have to wander the wilds of Temeria oiling blades and solving murder mysteries, The Witcher’s Geralt is free to do more fun stuff. Like visit E3, hit the beach and play some ball. This is Maul Cosplay, whose incredible Geraltcosplay you may have seen here previously. He was hired to work…
Duelyst is a very pretty little strategy game. So pretty, in fact, that we’re going to feature it twice here on Fine Art. In 2014 we looked at some of its environments, but today we’re looking at Christophe Ha’s (Overwatch, Diablo III, World of Warcraft) character design. There’s a definite Overwatch vibe to these characters,…
E3 isn’t all about the soulless march of retail products from the ether into your digital wishlists. There is still, in the more secluded corners of the show, room for true love to be found. As Tiny Cartridge report, Logan and Caitlin—both massive fans of Japanese publisher Natsume and its Harvest Moon series—were engaged during…
It’s been a good year for video game endings! Not long after Uncharted 4’s masterpiece, along comes The Witcher 3’s final expansion Blood & Wine, which serves as a playable farewell tour for Geralt of Rivia, someone fans have been playing as for almost nine years now. And that farewell is good Where Nathan Drake’s…
There have been a lot of stage presentations, interviews, videos and livestreams to come out of E3 this year. Some have been slick, professional and informative! Others have not. We’re here to celebrate/die 1000 deaths watching the latter, via digbickqt
Because it’s a prequel set in the 1980s, Yakuza 0 is hopefully going to be the perfect place for newcomers to jump into Sega’s story-heavy world of brutal combat and dumb-ass minigames. Because the more people who play Yakuza, the better Yakuza 0 is going to be out in English in 2017. Its E3 trailer…
On the left, EA’s Patrick Söderlund talking to IGN. On the right, Corey Davis, design director at Psyonix (the developers of Rocket League). Some background on that 2011 date: Rocket League, for all its recent success, actually has a long and interesting development history, since it’s basically a reboot/sequel of a similar, earlier game that…
I know, there’s been a lot of Overwatch cosplay here lately, but there’s just so much of it, and it’s so consistently good, and people are very much into this game, so whatever, deal with it. Today? It’s Fredrik Just and his incredible Genji outfit, which as you can see not only fits nice and…
The new Rhythm Heaven game, Megamix, had a release date of “sometime in 2016″. That sometime is…today! Nintendo just dropped the surprise release on the eShop. Above is the E3 trailer.
Or at least it wasn’t for Hawken, as the developers have shared in a surprisingly interesting timeline of how the mech shooter made the march from PC to Xbox One/PS4. Yeah, I know, Hawken, right? What was once a very promising mech shooter kinda sank out of the wider consciousness once it went free-to-play (and…

Atlus gave a demonstration of Persona 5 gameplay today at E3. Here’s video of it. The quality’s of IGN’s clip here isn’t great, but it’s captured from a demo screen on the showroom floor, so whaddyagonnado. It’s certainly clear enough to make out that there’s a dungeon full of butts. Sad reminder: this game isn’t…
FIFA 17 came out with one of the best-received trailers of the whole show this week. How does rival PES respond? In about the most PES way imaginable. Reckless defending and a wasteful Olivier Giroud? Solid Arsenal simulation, this.
Spiral Cats’ Tasha, who already made our “Best Overwatch Cosplay” list for her Tracer work, now makes a convincing argument for inclusion with this Mercy outfit.

Look, considering how gorgeous the standard Elite controller is, this official Gears 4 version with GOUGES and BLOOD might be a bit much. Especially at $200. That said, those d-pad overlays could be a neat accessory for future games… It’ll be out in October, though just like the original Elite itself, it’ll be available “in…
