Up above, we’ve got the Harlem Shake as done by 64 people in Battlefield 3, footage brought to us by YouTube user TheHazardCinema. And below, the opponent: Infinity Ward doing the Harlem Shake. Who does it better, though? I’m leaning toward the Battlefield players because it’s so ridiculous to see the characters like that, but…
This commercial for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance really gets it. Many of us want to play the game to enjoy the delights of dicing everything up, and that’ll feel particularly cathartic after an awful day. Not that the feature can’t be a blast even when you’re not having a bad day, but still. Sweet, sweet…
While you wait for Among The Sleep, you should try The Plan, an experimental title by the same devs. You play as a fly.
There is something about Nintendo and love birds—first, someone tried using the Wii U as real estate for a personal ad. Now, according to Tiny Cartridge, a ten-year-old tried using a 3DS to find himself a girlfriend. How did he try to do it? Using an app, of course. Specifically, the young Masterclaw360 used the…
Unlike the Pokémon games before it, Pokémon Black/White almost explored something interesting: why we catch Pokémon, and whether or not keeping/battling with them is “okay.” But before the games said anything meaningful or deep, they took the easy route and made Team Plasma—the group intent on “liberating” Pokémon and therefore the reason you’re thinking about…
I’d like to think of this as “skateboarded so awesomely that now he has the police on his tail,” but hey. Semantics. The footage above is of Decio Lourenco from South Africa, who apparently shredded so fast that the authorities are looking to prosecute according to The Telegraph They’re citing “reckless and negligent road behavior,”…
There are some cool event Pokémon distributed for promotional purposes—legendaries, for instance. And then there are event Pokémon that leave you scratching your head. Enter level 99 shiny Magikarp, which will be an event Pokémon distributed by a Pokémon Centre in Nagoya. The occasion? They’re moving into a new building according to Serebii. The Makikarp…
Some would contest whether or not Dead Space was ever a scary franchise, but most will agree that Dead Space 3 focuses more on being an action title. In a recent NowGamer interview, Dead Space 1 writer Antony Johnston explained why he thinks the added action emphasis occurred. While admitting that the newer Dead Space…
Take a look at Reus. It’s a 2D god game where you control different types of giants and, naturally, dictate the lives of puny humans. The developers walk you through some of the basic gameplay in the footage above. Interesting to think you can’t make things too good for the humans, because then they ask…
Nobody respects the sex workers in Grand Theft Auto, man. To most players they’re just an ongoing joke about what you really do in the GTA games (blow shit up and kill hookers, basically). Ever think about what it’s like for the call girl to have a psychopath John running around, though? Today, Something Awful’s…
When even Gabe Newell calls the approval process behind what content goes on Steam a “dictatorship,” hell, when even Gabe Newell calls the Steam storefront “boring”—well, that’s when you know there’s a problem. Judging from his recent talks, though, it sounds as if Valve hopes to change that—there is the possibility of Valve stepping back…
Here’s KadeshFlow with a tribute to the new Devil May Cry—it’s pretty good! This song is but one of many gaming-themed flows he has up on his YouTube page, including another one where he’s cosplaying as Link while spitting about The Legend of Zelda. See below. You can check out more of his music if…
It seems that we’re collectively slacking on Halo 4, so 343 Industries dropped hints on Easter eggs nobody has found.
Horse_ebooks, the automated spam Twitter account that promotes e-books by quoting random lines from them, is one of the most famous Twitter accounts out there. Much of the appeal is that despite being complete word salad, it manages to say absurd if not insightful things. But it’s not stuff that would get you a date……
Here’s a scene from Fallout: New Vegas re-done Hotline Miami style. I wonder how a game like this would work? How would VATS come into the picture, if at all? Well, as long as I get to kill Super Mutants I guess! Props to the artist, Reddit user Sliferjam Click the image up top for…
Meet the models behind all the big characters in Archer. Trust me, it’s hilarious.
Actual Sunlight is not a happy game. In fact, I’d caution folks sensitive about suicide and depression against playing it. It’ll trigger you, it’ll punch you in the gut. The game is an interactive story about a man called Evan Winters. He works at some corporation, doing who knows what, really—it’s one of those nebulous…
Back when Kotaku wrote about a troll that targeted women, there was one critical word that kept popping up in responses: camwhore. Also curious: the women in the videos streamed themselves casually playing video games, and they took donations. It was as if some folks were saying, no, the harassment these women face is actually…
Passing through immigration checkpoints can be a drag, but have you ever thought about what it must be like for the inspectors? In an upcoming game by developer Lucas Pope called Papers, Please you are tasked with examining documents and determining whether or not people can pass through the checkpoint. Some might be tourists. Some…
Or would it be more accurate to say these are the thoughts of Andy Serkis, the man behind Gollum in the The Lord of the Rings movies? You decide. Here’s footage by wrst88 of Serkis going all Gollum on us when asked about the LotR movies, and one thing is for sure: there’s conflict! Andy…
