“She also scares me,” said the Prince of All Saiyans. Nerd Reactor spoke with THE Vegeta—or at least his voice actor, Chris Sabat, in character as Vegeta—about UFC women’s bantamweight champ and professional headline monopolizer Ronda Rousey. Reason being, once upon a time in an interview with Fight Hub TV Rousey mentioned that she had…
Man, hide-and-seek has gotten daaaaaark. BadBlood is hide-and-seek re-imagined. Basically, it’s hide-and-hunt. It’s meant to be played split-screen and—in an interesting twist—encourages screen cheating. However, a twist on top of and within a twist: the screen twists, creating different orientations for you and your opponent. What was that sound? Was that a neck snapping, or…
The first Halo was chock full of memorable levels. Know what would’ve made them even more memorable? Goddamn dinosaurs. Modder Spartan464748 decided to turn that weirdly specific fever dream into a reality, creating gorgeous renditions of Halo: Combat Evolved’s second and fourth levels—“Halo” and “The Silent Cartographer”, respectively—in Ark: Survival Evolved. Lots of evolution going…
World of Warcraft has hit its lowest subscriber total in ages. As part of a quarterly financial statement, Blizzard announced that WoW hit a recent-years low of 5.6 million subscribers. In a follow-up financial call, the blue giant was jollier than you might expect, given that Diablo, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm upped their…
Now that’s some cool-looking combat. We Shall Wake’s high-speed, higher-flying combat looks like it was conceived in a steamy love-making/127-episode planet-destroying battle between Dragon Ball Z and Dynasty Warriors. Enemies everywhere, like somebody cartwheel-kicked an ant hill. Punches and kicks roaring overhead like a storm. Development is ongoing, but it already looks sweet. If all…
Ronda Rousey looks more unbeatable each time she fights. She’s considered one of the most dominant athletes alive. Maybe it’s time for her to lose. To be clear, I’m not suggesting that a Rousey loss is in any way likely—especially not this weekend. Her opponent, Bethe Correia, is ranked seventh in the UFC women’s bantaweight…
I just got done playing a few matches of Dead Realm, and I’m shaking. Admittedly, it could be the fact that I’ve consumed waaaay too much coffee in the past couple hours, but the multiplayer horror game’s tension definitely got to me. Currently in Steam’s top ten best sellers, Dead Realm is basically hide and…
It all started with Clicker Heroes. Or maybe Adventure Capitalist. Now things are getting out of hand. In the past few weeks, there’s been a veritable explosion of clicker games—that is, games where you mostly click on stuff until it dies to progress, slowly but surely leveling up to improve your clicking prowess—on Steam. Among…
Mad Max: Fury Road meets Fallout 4. It’s a predictable mash-up, but fucking hell, ✪ King Mrakobez did it up in grand style. The Steam Community Showcase is a regular look at the cream of the Steam community’s boundless crop. Art, videos, guides—whatever. Each installment highlights a specific piece or person. If you find anything…
A couple days ago, the Team Fortress 2 community came across a video of a notorious hacker getting a taste of his own medicine. They were ecstatic. Responses ranged from “serves him right” to “fuck that guy.” The hacker goes by the handle Max Box, and—despite the fact that he’s created a veritable infamy factory…
Should I care about The Swindle? Yes. It’s randomized stealth, a heist game that could last you until the end of time (but probably won’t). What’s it about? It’s the past-present steampunk future, and in 100 days The Man is gonna deploy a security system so advanced that cool-ass heisters with cool-ass heist zeppelins won’t…
Joe Lauzon knew his opponent was done. Problem is, the referee didn’t. Over the weekend, UFC on Fox 16 saw TJ Dillashaw demolish Brazilian skull crusher Renan Barao even more decisively than he did the first time around. And while it was a stunning display of hot fist-on-face action, it wasn’t the defining moment of…
Well, this one came out of nowhere. Clouds Below is a very pretty (and free) game about flying. Well OK, there are other things too, but flying is the best part. I mean, look at this: “Wind-based platformer” sums it up pretty aptly. Really though, it’s got Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker looks and Skyward…
I played a couple matches of the new Doom over the weekend at QuakeCon. I come to you bearing Thoughts. Doom is fast and brutal, so I’m gonna deliver my impressions in the form of RAPID-FIRE BULLET POINTS. Warning: if you get too close to your screen, I can’t be held responsible for what might…
TJ Dillashaw wasn’t supposed to beat Renan Barao. He wasn’t even supposed to be in the ring with him. There are two kinds of upsets in the UFC: the fast, unexpected kind, and the slow-motion car wreck, where it’s like watching somebody get hit by the same truck over and over and over. The first…
At one point in its development, Skyrim was gonna be a lot more… macabre. Digging through game files, Skyrim fans uncovered two scrapped features that would’ve made NPC death a bit more meaningful. Once upon a time, the fantasy role-playing mega-behemoth was set to include haunting and mourning. Here’s how they work: Haunting: when a…
Welcome to Kentucky Fried Dodo. Steam user ๖ۜDittó put Ark: Survival Evolved’s building tools to great use, resulting in this fine dining establishment. Their secret ingredient? The tragic extinction of an entire species. Nothing tastier! Or maybe it’s poop. It might be poop. The Steam Community Showcase is a regular look at the cream of…
Mario is the ultimate video game hero, beloved by families the world over. Let’s kill him. Kill The Plumber is as close as the game’s developer could get to Fucking Murder The Shit Out Of Mario without risking a lawsuit. I mean, that character looks audaciously similar to Mario. And the art style! I’m kinda…
Pro gaming league ESL has decided to start administering tests for performance-enhancing drugs. If they’re serious about it, though, they’ve still got a lot of work ahead of them. In the wake of pro Counter-Strike players’ admissions that they’d been chomping on ADHD drug Adderall for a boost of a not entirely rules-friendly variety, the…
Bethesda just announced the Fallout Anthology It’s a collection of every PC Fallout game that comes in a container that looks like a mini-nuke. It’ll be out at the end of September. War never changes, but buying old games does, apparently.
