Did you know that The Walking Dead has a “zombie school”? That’s where extras learn how to become the undead. Don’t think you’d make a good zombie just because you can hiss and throw your arms out, either. While they talk about how there’s no real ‘right’ way of being a zombie—they let the actors…
“You are a hunter, and your primary source of food is dinosaur meat.” Sounds simple, right? The Stomping Land is a survival game where you hunt dinosaurs—which, on its own is cool enough, but the kicker is that you get to play this game with friends (if not enemies). Yes, it’s multiplayer. While hunting small…
This here Famicon skin for the Wii U’s gamepad is a beaut, no? Like Tiny Cartridge says…you can’t have a modern console unless you’re going to make it look retro. It’s the law. This particular skin can be purchased from Datel Japan at the end of July for around $20.

Playing a horror game as a toddler already sounds, well, kind of scary. Know what could potentially make the experience even scarier? Virtual reality. Here’s Krillbite Studios, walking us through what Among The Sleep is like on the Oculus Rift VR headset. While it might look silly to play like this, it seems as if…
Confession: despite my job, sitting down and playing a game is often incredibly difficult for me thanks to depression. How depression disables me from enjoying things doesn’t always present itself in the same way. Sometimes, the way I think about a game’s objective ruins it, even though there’s nothing wrong with the game per se—I…
Jack The Reaper is a zany-looking SNES-style game where you play as (a weirdly cute version of) death himself. You can absorb and combine the powers of your enemies, kind of like Kirby. Your mission is to collect the souls…souls which came from the moon? In any case, there’s a demo now if you’d like…
Making Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, as a prop is one thing. Lots of people have one of those. hackaday wanted to go further than that. From the YouTube description: I worked with Staci Elaan to build this hammer that has a solid state tesla coil inside. When you push the button, 80,000 volts of electricity arc…
Shin Megami Tensei games have typically always let you collect demon minions which you can then use in battle, ala Pokémon. You can “fuse” these demons to make new ones, but that’s typically a solitary affair. In the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei IV, other players will allow you to perform special fusions via Streetpass. Streetpass…
The thing about healing via food items is that characters start seeming like gluttons every time you want to restore your health in a game. In BioShock Infinite’s case, what with most food being stuff like cotton candy and popcorn, the situation seemed particularly ridiculous. Here’s an amusing and well-produced video by HapstanceFilms which makes…
I’ve been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf lately, in preparation for a review next month. One of the staple features in the Animal Crossing franchise is a store run by a fox. The store sells rare items and art. Like, say, this fine statue here. Let’s take a closer and uncensored look, shall we? (NSFW…
She took her calculator to prom according to The Mary Sue. Because who needs a date when you’ve got a sharply-dressed calculator? More pictures here. I wonder if anyone has ever taken a body pillow to prom?
Maybe there’s a little Borderlands in there for good measure, too. Comparisons aside, Tower of Guns is a twitch shooter with roguelike elements that hope to keep every playthrough fresh. This means random enemies, random powerups, random bosses, many unlockables and even random levels every time you play. Excellent. From the game’s Steam Greenlight page:…
Um. Literally? …yeah, sorry about that. But pun aside, this fan’s usage of Street Fighter characters is genius, no? Even Blanka could playfully be said to be fulfilling a role: he’s powering the fan while E. Honda does his hundred hand slap and Ken does his hurricane kick . Clever job, BL1TZEN. Now all this…
Despite the jokes about telling our parents that NO we can’t pause the friggin’ game to take out the trash, the truth is, the inability to pause a live game is a real problem. Real enough that even Man of Steel’s star, Henry Cavill, has grappled with it. Actually, he almost didn’t get the role…
A class action lawsuit claiming that Aliens: Colonial Marines used false advertising is happening. Today, SEGA—publisher behind the title—has responded with a comment. “SEGA cannot comment on specifics of ongoing litigation, but we are confident that the lawsuit is without merit and we will defend it vigorously,” SEGA told Kotaku. The plaintiff seeks damages for…
This is awe-inspiring: what happens when players are hell-bent on finding a secret which may not even exist? Eurogamer has a piece on Shadow of the Colossus and players who hoped they could find its ‘last big secret’. Definitely worth a read.
Provided some tips—like those from tetrisconcept—you can keep a game of Tetris going forever. All you need is a Tetris game that randomly generates piece sequences, a hold feature, and at least 3 piece previews. Not all Tetris games work like that, though ‘good’ ones are supposed to (apparently). You might need to check if…
Bento makes for an adorable lunch—many of us knew that already. It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that bento also makes for adorable stop motion animation. YouTuber Mari Miyazawa has a channel full of bento. Some of it features tutorials, and some of it is what she calls “Bento Theater.” Here are a few more of…
There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that the next time you launch Team Fortress 2, you’ll automatically start upgrading to “Steampipe,” a new content delivery system which “improves the way content is downloaded, updated and stored” according to Valve. It means faster downloads, quicker boot times and map loads, and better…
