Professional gaming is on the rise. Everyone’s playing, everyone’s getting paid to play, everyone’s watching, everyone’s happy. Right? Nope. Just like any other sport on the planet, for every winner, there is a loser. Yoon Sub “Locodoco” Choi is a pro League of Legends player. He’s had a pretty rough time lately, bombing out unexpectedly…
If you thought the PS4 and Xbox One’s launch prices were expensive, well, they kinda were! But not as expensive as the NES. Or Neo Geo. Or Saturn, Or PlayStation, or Atari 2600. Reddit user Auir2blazehas run historical console launch prices through an inflation adjustment calculator (which normally use dollar strength and the cost of…

Ghosts ‘N Goblins: Demon World was a new game up on Kickstarter looking for funding. Its developers said that they had “discussed” working with Capcom on securing the classic series’ licensing.

French company Lëkki specialises in turning old consoles into new things of beauty. We’ve shown you their Super Nintendo work before, but they’re now offering some Nintendo 64s as well. There are four colours to choose from – each predominantly white with a lighter coloured stripe – with each costing €120 (USD$165). For that price…
It’s easy to get excited about a Kickstarter game, see it backed then forget all about it. Understandable, too, since few of the really “big” Kickstarter games (Star Citizen, Broken Age) have been released. République, however, is just about done, and is looking pretty cool. Due out on December 19 on iOS (a PC port…
This year’s big console launches would have been a lot less fun without NeoGAF’s Antonio Banderas fixation. So it’s fitting that, with the console now on shelves, a collection of every Banderas gif from the site has been collected and dropped in one handy video For posterity’s sake. Best part? Seeing them like this won’t…
As wonderful as it is, as timeless as it threatens to be, The Neverending Story is still very much a product of the 1980s. So let’s take a moment to imagine what it might have looked like if it had been made in 2014, instead of 1984. These aren’t from an official project; just a…
It’s a line that for gags is fast getting tired, but the joke here isn’t Gandalf stopping the tram. It’s what happens next Gandalf: You Shall not Pass (SA Wardega) [YouTube]
It’s not a traditional game, and would never have had a traditional “release date”, so today is the closest DOTA 2 will get. After years of betas, invites, sign-ups and queues, the game is now open to everyone If you visit the game’s Steam page, you’re guaranteed for the first time to see the green…
Sloan Hood is an artist at Bungie. He’s also an avid cosplayer. The two activities met last month when he dressed up as a class from the studio’s upcoming space shooter Destiny, and while the outfit is impressive, it’s the gun that’s got my attention. Call it “cheating” if you must, but since he’s one…
Finish that sentence however you want, though I’d recommend “…I would watch the crap out of it”. Not sure the subject matter would carry over that well for a kid’s movie, but hey, maybe Thatch’s burning beard and everyone’s wanton murder can be turned into a jolly sea shanty.

Yes, this is a cheap marketing stunt. But it’s one I want to own. Or at least borrow for the weekend. EA’s Australian outpost and Origin – the PC manufacturers, not the EA online store – have built the “Battlefield 4 and Origin PC Armoured Division Tank”, a clumsy name for what’s essentially a converted…
Remember that customSuper Nintendo urinal? Its creator is selling. $499 on, where else, Craigslist

There is cosplay, and then there is…well, we might need a word that goes beyond cosplay for this. This crew of Japanese Attack on Titan fans, of the Through The Night crew, laugh at the notion of simply dressing up as the show’s characters and posing. They’ve taken to the woods and gone all out,…
In case you couldn’t tell between the departuresand delays, Ubisoft’s next Rainbow Six game has been in the development doghouse for years now. Something Ubisoft is only just getting around to publicly acknowledging. During an interview with IGN, Ubisoft’s Laurent Detoc has admitted that the game as first planned “wasn’t working”, and that the team…
Valve’s Steam Machinemay have its eyes on your living room, but it’s not a console. It’s still a PC at heart, so if you’re curious how easy it’s going to be to open one up and swap out/upgrade parts, take a look at this. Corey Nelson is one of the lucky 300 to be testing…
As promised, the lucky beta testers of Valve’s own first-party Steam Machines are starting to get their consoles…computers…whatever. Here are a couple of unboxings, showing off not only what they get in the box, but also a pretty snazzy shipping case. I was expecting machines shipped in foam and including some notes and basic manuals…
