Surprise! There is a new Call of Duty this year. Usually, Call of Duty reveals are met with a lot of cynicism and snark about how stagnant the franchise had supposedly become. But this year?

I never played any of the older Harry Potter games, and now, watching Criken2 play through the PlayStation version of Harry Potter and The Sorceror’s Stone, I’m not sure if that is a mistake or not. I mean. On the one hand, WIZARD CRACKERS (???). On the other hand, cripes…this version of Hogwarts is the…
All this talk about new items and features in the upcomingMario Kart 8, and yet we totally overlooked the game’s biggest innovation: Mario’s mustache. Noticed by Redditor LtThunderpants, it’s hard to watch the earlier footage of Mario Kart 8 and not be mesmerized by the way Mario’s mustache wiggles: Maybe it’s time we stop arguing…
If you immediately thought “must use a glitch,” you’d be right: this run of Super Mario Bros. 3 posted by TASVideosChannel makes use of a bizarre pipe glitch which allows Mario to tunnel down to princess Peach in world 7-1.

Now that Dark Souls II has been out for nearly a week on Steam, players have gotten a chance to get a feel for the game (read: die endlessly). This also means players have had a chance to review the fiendishly difficult RPG—and even if they’re don’t provide the most in-depth critiques of the game,…

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could customize the Xbox One with this much ease? Unfortunately, this video mock-up byPrimeGhost Gaming isn’t real—it’s just a concept. But if the Xbox One does ever implement something like themes, I hope it takes some cues from this. Being able to dictate the color of the widgets on…
You might know that Pokémon is based on insect collecting, and that the games are based on different regions in Japan. That Pokemon trivia is easy. But I bet there are some factoids you don’t know about, even if you’re a hardcore fan. Buzzfeed put together a video that’s full of fun Pokemon facts, including:…
The excavation of Atari’s game graveyard—which unearthed many copies of the infamous failed E.T. game—definitely happened. There are pictures. There are trustworthy witness reports. But somehow, some folks are still skeptical about it. Not everyone actually believes the entire thing happened, amusingly enough. In an excellent write-up of the dig, Wired’s Chris Kohler reports on…
Twitch streamers sure know how to pull cool stunts. Case in point: there is a channel where a speedrunner attempts to play through Mario 64…without being able to see what’s going on on the screen. 62bitgaming is hoping to get through the classic Mario title using his vast knowledge of the game—but he’ll also make…
The upcoming Sailor Moon reboot, which debuts on July 5th, features redesigns of all our favorite Sailor Scouts. The changes aren’t too dramatic or anything, judging from the art shared by Crunchy Roll. But everyone certainly looks different from the designs in the original anime.

Even abominations like striking your fellow bro become possible in those situations, as this clip by RackaRacka shows. Let this be a lesson to all of you watching out there. Love your bro, for the consequences may be too great…
Aww. Look at the auto-Titans trying their best to protect their pilot—even if it means destroying themselves in the process. It’s the result of lackluster artificial intelligence. But it’s also kind of endearing, don’t you think? They’re trying their best! DefendTheHouse is back with another “Mythbuster” episode, and in this one, they test out what…
Earlier this month, I got a chance to fly up to Washington and try Bungie’s upcoming sci-fi shooter, Destiny.

Here, a giant, life-sized statue of Master Chief stands tall, casting a shadow. Bungie…
Digital cities can be abandoned and deserted, just like real-world ones—and World of Warcraft is a prime example of this phenomenon, thanks to its many expansions. Writing for the AV Club, Samantha Nelson details the hustle and bustle of World of Warcraft--and the cities players have left behind, as they leveled up and more cities…
Sure, playing Sonic on the Oculus Rift could potentially be dangerous—both if you haven’t gotten “VR legs” yet, and if riding on real-life roller coasters makes you squeamish—but still. This version of Sonic the Hedgehog looks fantastic. The footage comes from Chadtronic, who is playing through a version of Sonic on the Unreal 3 engine.…
Why does this exist? I don’t know. What I do know is that I can’t stop watching. The video was made by NostalgicFangirl, and she uses models by 0-0-Alice-0-0 and animefancy-mmd to great effect here.
