I was really excitedfor Gods Will Be Watching, so it was a bit crushing to find that when the game was actually released, it was little more than a punishing checklist simulator. Guess I wasn’t the only one down on the game, as the developers have released a pretty important update that adds a few…
Last week, a fan theory posted to Redditsought to explain why Gandalf and the Fellowship didn’t just fly to Mordor instead of doing all that walking. It made some sense, but I think I like this explanation better.
Taken at StocktonCon over the weekend, this Walking Dead cosplay is perhaps the most perfect cocked eyebrow you’ll ever see. Cosplayer is Avery S Klemm. Pic by Xplict91 [Photographer] Best Rick Grimes Cosplay Ive seen so far (Stockton-Con 8/9/2014) [Reddit]
A bunch of friends, some props, some shitty costumes, a production company…yeah, this Smash Bros. vid looked like a good time. Well, good for us. Things start getting a little weird when the lines between play-fighting and fighting get blurred.
City 17: Through War, We Remember is an essay on Half-Life 2’s architecture. If you take anything away from it, it’ll be a better appreciation of the work of Lebbeus Woods
There have been novels based on video games for as long as there have been video games. Thing is, you could probably count the number of good ones on one hand. Pity writer Richard Cobbett, then, who spent the last week readingsome of the very worst of them. He’s recordedthe torment on his blog, and…
Based in San Francisco, Tuan Vo is a freelance concept artist and illustrator who has been working in the games industry for around three years now. You can see more of Tuan’s work at his personal site To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save…
Last year, I fell in love with a very fancybook about the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Well, that book is now ready to buy (for everyone, not just those who backed its Kickstarter), and it looks amazing It’s not just a coffee table book full of pretty photos and technical diagrams, though. There’s a book book…
“In a nutshell, Hard West is a turn-based squad tactical with adventurous world exploration. Think X-Com combat with Heroes of Might and Magic world map”. Well hello there perfect game description. Hard West, currently on Kickstarter, is looking very much like its sales pitch: you explore a Wild West overworld then, when it’s time to…
Huh. In today’s installment of “things I wish I’d known in 2001” comes this page on The Cutting Room Floor, via Brandon Boyer, which both outlines the fact the original Pikmin on GameCube could run on a PC, and shows you howto do it. Turns out there’s a Windows executable file on the wee disc,…
It’s like mixing Coke and Pepsi. A brave, perhaps slightly mad modder is working on bringing as much of League of Legends as he can to Valve’s DOTA 2, from LoL’s champions to its creeps. Those champions are being imported “1:1”, meaning its not just the 3D models being brought over (though these are being…
Sierra Interactive used to be one of the great developers (and publishers) in the world of PC gaming. They’ve been dead for a while now, but this teaser website put up by Activision suggests a return (at GamesCom) is imminent. What kind of return that would be is anyone’s guess. We could get a full-blown…
We first took a look at it early last year, but indie puzzler Back to Bed is now out. And it’s great! You play a weird dream dog, possibly a spirit creature, who must navigate an isometric dreamscape in order to preserve the life of your sleepwalking self/master, Bob. Bob is walking around the levels…
threezero’s enormous 20″ Titanfall figure is done and regular folks are getting their hands on it. It looks fantastic
Look, Destiny has some cool space wizards and fancy lighting, but as anyone who played the beta can vouch for, the main attraction of the game’s visuals was that sky It’s not that it’s realistic. It’s hyper-realistic. It’s every postcard and Western movie and motivational poster with the sky on it rolled into one. Realising…
What you’re looking at here is the first ever machine to be able to “self-assemble”. In other words, go from one state to another that can be used for…something. Without a human having to ever touch a button or issue a direct command. The result of a joint project between MIT and Harvard, the “origami…

The beta version of Valve’s desktop client for Steam just got a surprisingly useful and welcome update. The first thing you’ll notice is a slight visual overhaul, with buttons updated and colours shifted to give them more pop. More importantly, though, especially for heavy users (and those whose pile of shame nags constantly at their…
Look, even by their own admission, this movie isn’t great. But the movie isn’t the point. The point is that there’s an entire group of fans in the Czech Republic who dedicated themselves to cosplaying Valkyria Chronicles. Which is awesome
