World Of Warships’ Humble Bundle Mess Finally Cleaned Up
Last week, Wargaming screwed up, and accidentally made some promises to World of Warships players they later failed to honour. When fans complained, they were given some of the stuff, but it’s taken until today for the company to truly make things right.

The Tiny Little World Of Killzone
Michel Voogt is a senior concept artist at Guerilla Games, developers of the Killzone series and the upcoming Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Why Isn’t Pokémon vs Zombies An Actual Game
Nintendo, if you can team up with DeNA, you can team up with PopCap. Kleiton Dias made these gifs that illustrate how the crossover would work, as you pick Pokemon instead of plants them send them into battle instead of planting them.

Gone was Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, replaced by *drum roll* Tom Braider. For his shoot, Cabrera dragged photographer Robert Meares on a trip up Mt. Lemmon in Arizona. All…
