PSA: Some Top GTA V Mods Reportedly Have Nasty Viruses

Uh oh. A number of reports around the web are claiming one thing: people are using GTA V mods to distribute malware.

GTA V Mod Overhauls Police, Calls In The Army

The wanted levels in GTA V kind of suck. You’ve got a police force that is half-psychic, half robocop. When you hit max stars, there are no tanks anymore. What gives? Enter modders. The Crime and Police Rebalance & Enhancement mod, as shown in this video by The XXI, reworks the entire crime system in…

Steam’s Latest Top Seller Is A Cool Surprise

Windward is not a survival game in early access. It’s not a shooter. It’s not a roguelike. Really, it’s not much like the typical games you always see tearing up the Steam charts at all—and thank kraken for that! Instead, Windward is a top-down sailing game with a procedurally generated world. You can do stuff…

GTA V Mod Unlocks 30 Different Special Hidden Areas

There are some areas of GTA V that you were never meant to see or visit. Good thing mods don’t care about rules. NewTheft has footage of a GTA “All Interiors” mod, which lets players visit locations that were cut from the game, or only accessible via missions. This includes stuff like special offices, police…

Attack on Titan Has The Best Miiverse Community

Today, Attack on Titan: Humanity In Chains releases for the west on the 3DS. But since the Japanese version of the game has been out for a while, that means the game’s Miiverse forum is already chock full of fantastic art. It’s surprising what people can pull off with such limited tools! Let’s take a…

The Monday Stream Plays: The Binding of Isaac [It’s Over!]

It’s time to make Isaac cry. Or pee. Or poop. Whichever one helps me kill the monsters, really. I’m a big fan of roguelikes—they never get old. There’s always something new to discover, always something you haven’t experienced yet. And so I constantly find myself returning to games like The Binding of Isaac well after…

What Jason Voorhees Really Looks Like, According To Mortal Kombat

Huh. Not really what I was expecting! The image above was discovered by Test Your Might, and it’s the product of PC players tinkering with the game. While Jason Voorhees does wear a mask during the entirety of Mortal Kombat, Netherrealm Studios did render a face under there. A face that nobody was ever supposed…

People Love (And Hate) Splatoon’s Best Weapon

Splatoon isn’t out yet—but already, one of its classes is gaining the type of infamy relegated to items like the blue shell, or characters like Little Mac. Behold…Splatoon’s roller. [Source: Sleepy Jirachi] As some of you might know, Splatoon is a game about squid kids who fight with ink, not bullets. People got a taste…

Nintendo Needs To Work On Its Pre-Order Incentives

Starting today, you can download and play a demo of Splatoon on the Wii U e-Shop. I did exactly that, and was greeted with this screen shortly after finishing the game’s tutorial. I can’t help but laugh at Nintendo’s take on pre-order incentives here. Pre-purchase the game so you can get special gear you can…

The Witcher 3 Leaks Early, Beware Spoilers

Though The Witcher 3 doesn’t officially release until May 19th, many gamers around the world already have access to the beast-hunting game. The reason? Some stores are selling the game early. This means that if you want to go into the game fresh, you maaaaay want to be careful about what you look at on…

Five Nights At Freddy’s Fan Film Is Actually Scary

Following the announcement that Five Nights at Freddy’s was going to become a movie, a lot of people couldn’t help but wonder how exactly that would work. Can FNAF translate well to film? Well, after watching what people are doing with Freddy already, I’m totally convinced it can. Behold, the best Five Nights at Freddy’s…

The Witcher 3 Lets You Have Sex On A Unicorn

Yes, you read that right. A unicorn. Not one that’s alive, mind. A stuffed unicorn! But still: a unicorn. NSFW warning. The GIF above comes from the latest “Clueless Gamer” segment on Conan. I won’t bullshit you: Conan mostly spends his time making childish bad jokes about boning all the women he comes across in…

Sick Burn, Goat Simulator

Today, the latest expansion for Goat Simulator releases on Steam. It’s a survival game with zombies in it…that totally makes fun of other stereotypical zombie games on Steam. Yeah, it’s kind of having its cake and eating it too. I forgive it, though, because it’s still getting some good chuckles out of me. If you…

Pry Is The Coolest Game I’ve Played In A While

Released earlier this year, Pry is a look at the life of a soldier who is wrestling with demons. I’d go so far as to say that it’s the best look at PTSD in gaming, and one of the most fascinating games released in recent memory. Pry is an iOS take on interactive fiction that…

Bloodborne Fan Theory: The Doll Is Actually An Alien God

Here’s a fun theory about Bloodborne that comes from someone who actually helped write the official Bloodborne guide.

According to EpicNameBro, there’s good reason to reconsider the motivations behind the doll we find…

One of Mortal Kombat’s newest characters is gaining a reputation, at least among casual fans. According to the Internet, Jacqui Briggs is a problem. More specifically, it’s the way people are playing her. There’s recently been a lot of salt directed at players who pick Jacqui Briggs and then proceed to spam the same move…

What’s Actually Inside a GTA UFO

Though GTA V has a number of UFOs littered around Los Santos, you can’t really get a close look at most of them. Which means it’s easy to miss the fact that the UFOs sometimes do have things inside of them. GTAForums member xHaviiHx recently shared images of the UFO at Fort Zancudo, pictured above,…

Mortal Kombat Spammer Gets What They Deserve

You know that saying, don’t hate the player, hate the game? Fuck that. I prefer the whole “crush the skulls of your enemies using the white hot rage of justice” approach…when we’re talking about Mortal Kombat, at least. If you’ve played Mortal Kombat before, then you’ve probably come across spammers. The most famous spammer is…
