When you replace some of the cards in your hand at the start of a Hearthstone match, you expect new cards. What are the chances that you get pretty much the exact same hand back, you think? Well, it happened to at least one guy who goes by the handle Scolarion. Granted, what he gets…
Those playing through WildStar, the new science fiction MMO by Carbine Studios, might’ve noticed something a little, err, lively about the way certain character’s butts sway. Spotted this weekend by game critic Rowan Kaiser, it seems the walking animations for the Mordesh (which are space zombies in WildStar) are quite the thing to behold: Here’s…
Let me tell you a little story about my adventure trying to stay alive in The Forest, a fantastic new open world survival game that is currently the top-selling game on Steam. This isn’t a happy tale, but I hope it gives you a good sense of what playing The Forest is like. Note that…
Ubisoft’s latest open world game, Watch Dogs, lets players assume the role of a hacker named Aiden Pearce. Pearce uses a cellphone app to learn more about the strangers roaming Watch Dogs’ version of Chicago—and some players are using this information to kill digital minorities. If you’ve seen screenshots or footage of Watch Dogs, then…

I doubt anyone expects conservative pundit Glenn Beck to say anything particularly insightful about games, judging by the ignorant comments he’s made about the industry in the past. But listening to him talk about Watch Dogs is kind of funny, since he’s convinced it’ll teach kids how to hack into his iPad. To be fair,…
Normally, to play as Shrek in League of Legends, you’d have to play a Chinese clone of the game. But now, thanks to a mod, you can play as the king of the swamp in the actual game—but only if you use Alistar. You can see the mod in action in this video by UberDanger.…
We liked the new Wolfenstein. But what did the average person think about the game? We dove into Steam reviews to find out. Turns out, folks on Steam are fond of The New Order too. But amidst the positive reviews, there are also a number of funny, absurd, or eyebrow-raising reviews, too. Here’s some of…
People say the darnedest things on porn comment sections.On their own, the comments can be a source of amusement. But “reenacted” in a more innocent context with Lego, the comments become hilarious. Alex Eylar decided to take comments from r/gonewild, a subreddit where folks post amateur porn, and paired the comments with Lego. The result…
Watch Dogs is out on both current and last gen systems—and while all versions of the game play the same, each version looks slightly different. IGN brings us this graphical throw-down, where we can see how each version of the game fares against one another. Overall, as you might expect, the current generation looks the…
Among The Sleep, the horror game you play as a toddler, is officially out today on Steam. We’ve shown you what early levels where you roam your childhood home look like—but that’s not the only location you get to play. Here’s some footage of me playing one through an abandoned playground; it’s the place you…
Are you ready to RPG? ARE YOU READY TO RPG? RPG! RPG! RPG! *does a keg stand while rolling a few D20s* No but seriously though: I can’t help but laugh at this trailer for Dark Dungeons, a film based on a 1984 comic made by a Christian fundamentalist. The comic was about students who…
Even though Watch Dogs hasn’t been out for very long, many folks have taken to Steam to give everyone their two cents on the game. Many reviews are, admittedly, rather negative—that’s not too surprising, given the connectivity issues that Watch Dogs has experienced during launch. There’s also the feeling that some people are disappointed after…
Sorry folks: we mistakenly printed that Ubisoft had been hacked today because of certain rumors floating around about why uPlay is acting up for some. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation, and apologize for the mistake.
Cats can be more than just aloof, adorable jerks, you know. They can also be Jenga masters. Or at least, Alan Palesko‘s cat, Moe, is pretty good at Jenga: Yes, the cat might topple the Jenga tower over at the end. But you know what? The human took two turns beforehand, too. If that doesn’t…
Ever wonder about the differences between League of Legends and Dota 2? While both League of Legends and Dota 2 originate from the same mod, each game has its own unique quirks and history. gbay99 tells us all about the story behind both games in this great educational video, ultimately touching on the major players…
Watch Dogs’ launch on PC has proven to be a little rocky, with reports around the web noting problems with uPlay, Ubisoft’s distribution service. Without uPlay, players can’t play Watch Dogs on PC. However, uPlay is acting rather funky for people right now. Some players report an “unrecoverable error” which causes the game to crash…
Even on the lowest settings, Watch Dogs is a pretty PC game—but it’s on ultra is where all the small environmental details really start to pop, bringing Chicago to life. You can see the difference between low and ultra settings in this comparison video by Digital Storm. Or, if you’d like, you can check out…
People have many theories as to what the bottom of a Diglett (and by extention, its evolution, Dugtrio) looks like. Maybe there’s a horrible nightmare monster buried down there. Maybe it just has some sort of feet. Maybe there’s nothing down there at all. My favorite theory? Dugtrio is actually a really burly humanoid: Which…
Normally, if a new release is lacking in some way—be it in terms of quality or because of bugs—the developers will simply patch the game. But in this case, the situation is so grim that the developers are starting over and redoing everything. Basement Crawl is a Bomberman-like horror game that is rated so poorly…
