If there’s been one constant with the Assassin’s Creed games over the last few years, it’s that they’ve run like shit on PC. Assassin’s Creed III didn’t do that great, Assassin’s Creed IV was very poorly optimised (and had some very bizarre troubleshooting) and the less we say about Assassin’s Creed Unity’s disastrous port the…
Younger readers were spared the hassle/cost, but older folks will remember that people used to have to make phone calls to get tips and strategies for tough video games. The most famous was Nintendo’s Power Line, and over the weekend the AV Club spoke with three former employees about what life was like working for…

So, that definitive Street Fighter soundtrack we wrote about a few weeks ago is now out. I’ve been listening to it all weekend, and it’s fantastic. Available digitally, as a CD box set or an LP box set, there are 46 tracks in all. What makes this “definitive” is that the tracks are all lifted…
This joke video from Freakin Rad is corny as hell. But it’s also showing off some truly exceptional Halo and Destiny cosplay, both up-close and in a full range of motion. Starring in the vid are Spartan and Titan suits by Its tims time, Iron-Dan’s Master Chief and Melody Tripp’s Warlock.
Just look at it. It even clicks apart, like LEGO, so you can resize and rescale the steps. (via Tiny Cartridge)
For his very first cosplay outfit, Elmins wanted to make a Aether Wing Kayle (from League of Legends) outfit. If this is what he can pull off for his very first cosplay outfit, by his third he’ll probably be flying into space, or travelling through time. Here’s what the costume—which took “many hundreds of hours…
Last week, Blizzard filed a lawsuit against the team behind a series of bots called “Buddy,” which allow users to cheat at games such as Heroes of the Storm, Diablo III and World of Warcraft. This week, the creators of those bots are hitting back at Blizzard, claiming the company has stolen their code. But…
After some conjecture earlier this week surrounding the re-release of some older PS2 Star Wars games, Sony has come out and confirmed that PS2 games are coming to the PS4 courtesy of emulation. “We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation,” Sony told Wired. “We have…

Because the actual election promises to be the beginning of the End Of Days, it might be safer—and more fun—to just play a video game about it instead. The Political Machine 2016 is the latest in Stardock’s series of not-serious-at-all election simulators for the PC, whose previous games have been relased in 2004, 2008 and…
This week, tech hardware site Fictiv sat down with a bunch of classic Nintendo controllers and…tore them apart, all in the same of science/entertainment. The entertainment comes from regular folks just getting a good look at the inner workings of these iconic pads (they tore down the NES, SNES and N64 controllers). The science comes…
Remember when Valve made Team Fortress movies, and they were the best damn videos in video games? Now they just get their fans to make ‘em, and they’re…not bad. Valve announced the winners of this year’s Saxxy Awards today, designed to honour the best clips made using the company’s Source Filmmaker.The vast majority were made…
Omi Gibson isn’t just one of the world’s top Metal Gear cosplayers. Her Ghost in the Shell game is strong, too
Zarya is one of the coolest characters in Overwatch. She is also, like all characters, subject to crossplay. This is Jechts’ attempt at the character, which he pretty much nails, from the hair down to the tattoo on the shoulder. Photos by Alive Alf
Many things happen over the course of your adventures in The Witcher 3. Some are forgettable. Most are far from it. Here, then, is an objective and comprehensive list of…ah, who am I kidding, here’s a massive list of the things I loved most from a game I love so damn much. USE YOUR WITCHER…
This isn’t an action figure. It’s a sculpt from toy company NECA that stands a farcical 6’ 2” tall. Pros: He looks amazing, and was made using the the game’s own files, so he’s 100% authentic, down to the smallest detail. It’s also somewhere neat to hang your hats/coats. Cons: Where the fuck do you…

It’s not the sweet-as-pie recreations themselves that get me. It’s the thought of how much practice must have gone into a video like this. The hours, days, weeks spent leaping and thrusting and combing his hair just to get it this right. If it all seems a bit familiar, that’s because Nick Luciano managed to…
