Microsoft’s “Future Of PC Gaming” Video Is Terrifying
Microsoft probably has many ideas on what constitutes the future of gaming on the PC. It’s too big a company not to. But this particular one is so horrible you may not want to even see it. Put together by the Windows Gaming Experience team, this video was originally made and released in 2010. So…

Girls Kissing, Dildos…Yup, This Is Duke Nukem Forever
Duke Nukem Forever There are times when Duke Nukem Forever, a game that was supposed to be out in the 20th century, looks brand new! And there are other times, like this NSFW clip, where it really shows its age. I don’t mean in terms of the graphics, or the guns, or anything like that.…

Setting Nintendo Games Up Just To See Them Fall
Is this the coolest thing you’ll see today? Probably. What else are you going to see that beats a guy building a domino effect, to Queen’s I Was Born To Love You, out of dozens of Famicom and SNES cartridges? I like the “Nintendo” bit the best, though. So cute.

All This Splinter Cell Movie Needs Is More Michael Ironside
Actually, what it needs is some Michael Ironside. Anywhere. Once you get over the fact the agent in this short film is not Michael Ironside, this fan-made movie paying tribute to Ubisoft’s stealth series is actually pretty good! It’s got a soundtrack, special effects, classy lighting, the works. So long as you don’t mind sitting…

Poor MotorStorm, Now Even Its Demo Has Been Delayed
Upcoming racer MotorStorm Apocalypse features buildings falling down. Which led to a delayed release in earthquake-affected New Zealand. And earthquake-affected Japan. And the UK. Now the game’s demo has been delayed in the United States. Talk about bad timing.

The Gray, Pointy Art Of Dragon Age II
Say what you will about BioWare’s Dragon Age sequel, one thing that I appreciated was the way the game tried to forge its own art style instead of getting lost in a sea of fantasy cliches. That style may not be to everyone’s tastes, OK, but all those angles and fur at least mark these…

Fez, Your Five Minutes Of Gameplay Footage Has My Heart
Perspective-shifting platformer Fez isn’t just one of the best-looking indie games on the way. It’s one of the best-looking games on the way, period, something over five minutes of gameplay footage from last week’s PAX East shows off just wonderfully. While it looks better and better the more we see of it, am I the…

There’s Still Life In The Ol’ DualShock Yet
As all three home consoles now have motion-control peripherals, what does the future hold for the humble gamepad? As far as Microsoft and Nintendo are concerned we have no idea, but at least Sony sees some kind of future for d-pads and buttons. “I said that pretty much from the beginning that we’re not trying…

Heavy Rain‘s Voice Acting Is Better In Real Life
If you’re going to make fun of Heavy Rain, you’ve got to do a lot more than just shout “JASON JASON” in a mall. In this parody sketch, the comedy team at Mega64 have gone back to doing what they do best: harassing innocent members of the public. And while the obvious lost child joke…

CultureTotal RecallSo Who The Hell Is This Peter Molyneux Guy, Anyway?
Whenever the subject of the Fable series or its outspoken creator Peter Molyneux pops up, a lot of people question why the man is given so much airtime. Why people give a hoot about the games he’s making. He seems to be known by many as simply the guy behind Fable. Or that guy who…

Toy company McFarlane will in September be releasing a figure commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Halo series.
