Dead Rising 3 Is Coming To The Xbox One
Today we got our first look at Dead Rising 3, which is coming exclusively to Xbox One. Like in prior games, you can use nearly anything as a weapon against zombies—and these weapons have some degree of customization. You’ll also be able to do things like call in artillery strikes against the undead, which is…

Insomniac Is Making a Wild Exclusive For the Xbox One
Sunset Overdrive is a new game from Insomniac Games. It’s an open world shooter with character design much like that of Overstrike, prior to the redesign/change to Fuse. And unsurprisingly, that means it looks fantastic.

Metal Gear Solid V On the Xbox One Looks Fantastic
Today during the Microsoft press conference at E3, Microsoft unveiled a ton of new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain footage. Snake seems to be in Afghanistan, can ride horses, and still does that whole sneaking thing.

You Only Need To Vaguely Look Like Ryan Gosling To Reap The Benefits
Doug here is most certainly not Ryan Gosling. But add a hoodie and some sunglasses and most people wouldn’t be able to tell—as shown by this video by MojoInTheMorning Granted, Gosling was filming something in that city at the time, and that probably predisposed some folk to seeking Ryan Gosling out. Still—I can’t help but…

The Internet Response League wants to turn gaming’s popularity into a humanitarian effort. If we took a minute to sort through crisis information (like Tweets) during a disaster, we’d be a huge help. Right now, there’s nothing in place to bring this vision to reality—IRL is looking for collaborators.

The Xbox One Might Seem Like A Horror Show Now, But That Could Change
So far, much of what we’ve seen about the Xbox One hasn’t been good, and yesterday’s news about iffy policies around internet connections, used games, and loaning games isn’t reassuring. Here’s another quote from Microsoft that was lost in the shuffle yesterday—it’s worth keeping in mind. Hopefully, the internet’s backlash against some of what we’ve…

A Game That Wants To Teach Women How To Masturbate
And here I thought people were joking when they said we’re slowly turning everything into a game. Nope. Gamification has a new target, and it’s female masturbation. Now, masturbation on the whole has a stigma. Hairy palms, what have you. But some would say it’s especially bad with women given societal pressures to maintain purity.…

This Isn’t The Trailer For The New Smash Bros. Game, But It Should Be
Okay, so this “trailer” for the new Smash Bros by seinfeldspitstain is not in any way real. But who cares about that? The sheer ridiculousness of badly rendered Smash characters is worth watching anyway; it’s so silly. Silly, and yet I’d totally play this. (Via Nick Robinson) Super Smash Bros. Universe – E3 2013 Trailer…

A little bit of The Binding of Isaac, a lil’ bit of Diablo, and a whole lotta “this is why you can’t leave children alone,” Our Darker Purpose has the player work their way up a dangerous orphanage in the hopes of figuring out why the adults have disappeared. Seems sinister. Here’s the Kickstarter.

Arrested Development Gags Make BioShock Infinite Hilarious
Imagine, for a moment, that you play through Infinite not as Booker DeWitt, but rather as Michael Bluth. Okay. Now imagine that you still have Elizabeth around, only her characterization is less “Disney Princess” and more “Gob Bluth.” Still with me? Because this isn’t just an idle thought experiment, as you might’ve guessed from the…

Here’s A Pretty Crazy Conspiracy Theory About Metal Gear Solid V
Many Metal Gear Solid fans aren’t exactly happy that David Hayter will not—as far as we can tell—be reprising his role as Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V. That much isn’t surprising. Amusingly, the inability to let Hayter go has led some fans to concoct a ridiculous conspiracy theory about what’s actually happening…

He Uses Battlefield and Call of Duty To Cope With The Horrors of War
AlloySevenVideo—Bryant Chambers, a former platoon leader in Iraq back in 2003—never got formally diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. But that doesn’t mean war can’t haunt him in some ways. That’s where games come in, as he talks about in this video. “I honestly never thought I had any issues until several years after the event,”…

Weird Moments With Kiefer Sutherland, Also Known As The New Snake
Snake’s Cat’s out of the bag: Kiefer Sutherland will play Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain. The announcement was standard stuff, although I couldn’t help but notice some notable, sometimes silly moments—like the one above. Let’s recap with some GIFs. You’re game for that, right? Hooray! Sutherland is a perfect fit,…

Oh Dear God, Playing Ocarina of Time Like This Is Terrifying
Last time, Vinesauce showed us the horrors of Sesame Street games. This time, they’re back with a very corrupted version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They manage to transform Link into an abomination. Like I’ve said before: glitched out games can be treasure troves. (And the trove is full of horrors….just, FYI.)…

No Wonder Thor Is Ripped. He Prancercises.
Mjölnir is heavy. Like, way heavy. Know why Thor can lift it? Because he got hella swole off prancersizing. Here’s proof. And this is that EveryDayThor seems a tad stiff when it comes to his form. Alas, not everyone can match the lady in the original video—but that’s okay because who knows how ripped he…

He Made That Sweet Assassin’s Creed III Hoodie, And This Is His Story
Enzo Volante had been designing characters and costumes since he was in the second grade, but it wasn’t until he graduated college that he learned how to design patterns and make clothes. It was a necessity: he had no job and he needed something to wear. Just because it was a necessity didn’t mean he…

Hopefully The Xbox One Is Nothing Like Hal 9000
The Xbox One will always be watching, waiting—and GrittyReboots rolls with that premise with this video, where the new Kinect is terrifyingly like Hal 9000. Of course, while this take on the Xbox One is funny, the Xbone experience will be nothing like this….hopefully! Xbox One: A Space Odyssey [GrittyReboots]

The Yawhg is an excellent “dark fantasy multiplayer choose-your-own-adventure game” where you try your best to survive against impending doom. No two games are alike; it’s randomly generated. One of the best-written games I’ve played this year, and you can buy it here.
