Alien: Isolation is a damn gorgeous game—but sometimes, that beauty is difficult to appreciate while you’re playing, what with a bloodthirsty Alien on your trail and all that. ultrabrilliant takes us on a reflective two minute tour of the USCSS Nostromo from Alien: Isolation, and the results are stunning. Worth a watch, especially if you’re…
If we absolutely had to pick the worst Pokémon game, I wouldn’t blame anyone for putting Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire high on the list. Don’t get me wrong—I love those games to death, they defined a chunk of my childhood. But looking back, even I can admit that Ruby and Sapphire aren’t exactly the best…
Sure, the Fallout games have let players command a few cars before. But none of them are nearly as cool as the cars showcased during Wasteland Weekend, a festival dedicated to the post-apocalypse. DweebCast has a good, no-frills rundown of some of the more notable cars at the festival: Don’t worry, though. The highwayman will…
I was hoping it wouldn’t happen to me. I was hoping I could play Smash Bros. without destroying my circlepad, unlike the unlucky Japanese players we highlighted earlier this year, but no. After 24 hours of playtime, my circlepad is on the fritz—and it’s because I’ve been playing Smash Bros. Take this as a cautionary…
Grand Theft Auto and chaos go hand in hand—every game brings us new ways to explore violence and crime. But what happens when you eschew those values and try to play as a peaceful citizen who contributes to society? Turns out, the game doesn’t always know how to handle pacifism—not that that makes attempts any…
How much cheating do you think happens during a card game involving Hades, Jafar, The Queen of Hearts, Cruella, Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Ursulla? Everyone must have aces up their sleeves! At the very least, when so many Disney villains get together, there’s gotta be some evil plotting going on, right? Or maybe they gossip…
Alien: Isolation can be a pretty tense, terrifying game. But that experience depends on having things in the game actually work like they’re supposed to—which isn’t always the case for everyone. Earlier today we saw a funny case where someone encountered a glitch that made Ripley scream at a door, of all things. But the…
Cripes. I haven’t even been able to defeat Master Core on Smash Bros.’ harder difficulties at all yet, so watching this Ganondorf defeat a level 9 Master Core without taking any damage is baffling. Seriously, スマブラチャンネル is a beast for pulling this off. Level 9 intensity, for those that don’t know, is the highest difficulty…
I can barely handle this Li Shang version of Ash Ketchum. Heck, I can barely handle most of this parody of Mulan’s iconic song, ‘Make a Man Out Of You.’ It’s just too good. EsquirebobAnimations packs this video with a ton of clever references to Pokémon, and the process involved with training Pokémon—all in the…
The fact the sniper can be a tad annoying sometimes is nothing new for veteran Dota 2 players—like Little Mac, the character has a certain negative stigma. Still, I couldn’t help but laugh at this short which exemplifies just how enraging he can get, even if he’s not necessarily killing you. Then again, Palingenesie A…
Ever since the release of Smash Bros., I’ve consistently seen players complain about the same thing: the character Little Mac, especially when it comes to the competitive 1-on-1 For Glory mode.Apparently, some people claim, the mode is swarming with Little Mac players. I see people complain on Twitter: Folks on YouTube make fun of Little…
Sauron’s entire high command, all going after a single warchief at once. He never stands a chance. Confused about what happens in the clip? Shadow of Mordor grants players the ability control and dominate orcs, which in turn lets a player plant orcs in Sauron’s high command. In this case, that power is used so…
As soon as Nintendo released a demo for Smash Bros., it seemed like technical-minded people rushed to find ways to be able to play the game as it was meant to be played: with a controller. And now you can do it, too…provided you have the right tools and don’t mind fiddling with the insides…
You might not be able to fire blanks from this Gunblade recreation like Squall does, but that sure doesn’t make the weapon any less deadly. It is, after all, still a sharp blade! You can watch the entire creation process by AWE me in the video above, and it’s a pretty interesting watch thanks to…
Not everything that Super Smash Factstweets out is real, but that doesn’t doesn’t mean the Smash Bros. “factoids” account can’t be funny. In fact, sometimes the parody Twitter account manages to be more truthful than the actual descriptions you’ll find in the Smash Bros. games. Most of the time, though, the Twitter account just likes…
How does one kill death itself? By getting your hands dirty, of course. PrettyGrumpyBearGame did an experiment that tested whether or not killing the reaper himself in The Sims 4 is possible. Turns out, under normal circumstances, it isn’t possible—the reaper is pretty much immortal. He can’t burn to death, he can’t starve, and he…
Remember PaulyU, the Wii U owner that documented his troubles with Super Metroid on Miiverse? He was the guy that wondered “y cant metroid crawl.” Well, it looks like Pauly got a shout-out in the latest Smash Bros. Here’s Pauly’s famous question: And here’s Smash Bros.‘ answer to that question, as spotted by @Electivirus: Mystery…
Whether you’re in it for the random chaos, or in it for the elegance of the surprisingly deep fighting game hidden within, you can always be better at Smash Bros. Today, Super Smash Bros. is out on the 3DS. I’ve been playing for 21 hours, and I’ve got some tips that should better your Smash…
Over twenty orcs, annihilated in one go. Holy shit. This is the nemesis board, after all is said and done: Granted, Schreckstoff had already killed some warchiefs prior to the clip above—the massacre is mostly bodyguards and captains. Still, given the amount of planning this had to take, it’s impressive to see happen—and indicative of…
Just because you’re on the internet doesn’t mean you don’t have to be careful about what you say. Too bad some people learn this lesson the hard way. Alltime10s has an interesting countdown that details the many ways people have gotten into legal hot water because of things they did on Facebook. It’s kind of…
