Next Gen Consoles as Game of Thrones Characters

It didn’t take long for people to start characterizing next-gen consoles as all sorts of things—including, yes, Game of Throne characters. We have two slightly different Game of Thrones comparisons here, one by Redditor VariousFancyHats and another by neubourn—which do you think is more accurate? Note that like many memes around next-gen consoles, both are…

The One Thing Old Pokemon Games Do Better Than New Ones

After sitting through the Nintendo developer roundtable at E3, which featured Tsunekazu Ishihara and Junichi Masuda of The Pokemon Company and Game Freak respectively, it struck me: much has changed since the Pokemon: Red and Blue days. I’m not just talking about how there’s a new fairy type now, either. I’d like to think I’m…

Aha, The Post-Apocalypse In The Last of Us Was Justin Bieber’s Fault

Some people might blame the fungus zombies for destroying society in The Last of Us. But based on this Uncharted easter egg video by mynameisfeli, I’d say we should blame the collapse of society on Justin Bieber instead. Spoilers for various easter eggs in The Last of Us follow. It’s a tad difficult to read,…

DuckTales Has Changed. Here’s How.

For many, DuckTales is a beloved game—and I imagine that the mere idea of messing with it isn’t an appealing one. But after a chat at E3 with Matt Bozon, dreative director at WayForward, and Austin Ivansmith, director, it seems that many of the changes in the remastered version of DuckTales are things that fans…

An Easy Fix For The Last of Us’ Annoying Save Game Glitch

A number of threads, posts and tweets around the web indicate that some players are having trouble saving in Naughty Dog’s latest game, The Last of Us. If the glitch kicks in, then the game tries to autosave but can never complete the task, resulting in lost progress. While not everyone experiences the glitch (no…

Here Are A Couple of Cool Uses For The Wii U Controller

It might lack the charm of Mario Party, but Wii Party U manages to make good use of the Wii U game pad judging by what I saw on the E3 showfloor today. The mini game above, for instance, asks players to guess why the person holding the game pad made a certain facial expression…

AT E3, You Can Have a Cool (and Slightly Weird) Convo With Luigi

The Nintendo booth at E3 has a curious station featuring a screen with its most iconic characters, Mario and Luigi. The booth let people go up to the characters and hold a conversation with em (which you can see above)—which is cute, but also kind of eerie for some reason. I’m curious as to how…

Yup, Call of Duty Dog Is Still Way More Impressive Than CoD Fish

Another year, another Call of Duty. You know how this stuff works; we get another title which finds new ways to lead you through bombastic set pieces. After sitting through a demo today at E3, I can confidently say you can still expect that kind of stuff in Call of Duty: Ghosts. What actually stood…

Microsoft Found Folks Who Are Actually Looking Forward To The Xbox One

Microsoft’s booth at E3 has a screen showcasing what people are saying about the Xbone on Twitter. It’s all positive. UPDATE: This post was edited so that the content could speak for itself.

Show Us What You Love and Hate About These New Pokemon

A new Pokemon game means new Pokemon monsters. Last night, Game Freak unveiled three new critters: Clauncher, the blue lobster-like Pokemon, Talonflame, the fire bird Pokemon and Skrelp, the…uh, actually, I don’t know what the hell that Pokemon resembles. You decide. You’ll be able to use them all come the launch of Pokemon X &…

Don’t Hold Your Breath For Pokemon Red or Blue On Virtual Console

Here’s a mystery: why aren’t the original Pokemon Red and Blue on the virtual console? People love those games, surely they’d throw money at them if they could. But judging from Game Freak’s response to whether or not we could expect those games on the VC, people probably shouldn’t get their hopes up—they’re not coming…

Why Game Freak Introduced The Fairy Type In Pokemon

Today during a Pokemon presentation at E3, Game Freak talked about why they introduced a new monster type for the first time in 14 years—the fairy type. It was a move that retconned the type of already existing Pokemon, like the ones pictured above. What gives? Turns out, there’s a reason they did it. You…

If you were displeased when Drake took the stage during the EA presser yesterday, you weren’t the only one.

By the time you read this, Wikipedia will probably change the article back—but for now, ha. I’d say “burn,” but that would be redundant. (Proof it was real.) Edit: and now, a Jack Tretton edit:

Here’s The First Gameplay Footage For Destiny

Most of what we’ve seen of Destiny, Bungie’s upcoming “shared world shooter,”had been stuff like CGI trailers or concept art. It still managed to look epic, sure, but that doesn’t compare to what we were shown today during Sony’s E3 press conference. Here’s the first gameplay footage for Destiny—which features shooting (duh), customization, and some…

Good news: PlayStation Plus memberships will carry onto the PS4.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Is Coming to the PS4

It’s real, folks. Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming to the PS4—you can start trying to figure out what the heck is happening in the story now. No release date or specifics known as of yet, other than its existence and current development.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Drops In Fall 2014

Finally, after being cagey about specific details on a new Dragon Age for the last couple of years, EA revealed a trailer for the upcoming title in a press conference today. Inquisition will include a vast open world, and your choices will have much influence. Some characters will return, and naturally some will be new—we…

The Trash Talk During Microsoft’s Conference Was Awful [UPDATE]

Trash talk never sounds good—the things you say in the heat of the moment don’t make sense and cursing is unbecoming. So the awfulness when a Killer Instinct producer and an Xbox live community manager took the stage and trash talked isn’t surprising, although having it be scripted trash talk takes the awkwardness to a…

Halo Coming To Xbox One In Some Form

Surprise? Halo will eventually come to the Xbox One. It’ll run at 60 FPS, which is a first. And if the footage we’ve been shown so far is accurate, it kind of looks like a gritty Journey. We don’t really know specifics yet, though.
