Grand Theft Auto V resident berdu captures a Reaper creepily hovering over Los Santos, thanks to a new mod that infuses a little Mass Effect into Rockstar’s game. JJxORACLE created the mod, though it’s currently in beta. It replaces the blimp currently floating around the game. The Reaper doesn’t have any collision detection, though, so…
In unexpected news, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil are getting PC re-releases, thanks to the folks at Night Dive Studios. They were also responsible for bringing System Shock 2 back to life. I used to love the Turok games, but I’m scared to play them in 2015! No release date yet.…
Hyper Light Drifter has a badass new trailer, and we know when it’s coming out: spring 2016.
Flywrench is a simple video game, but you will die a great many times. Yet like Super Meat Boy or N++, the controls are so good, you can’t help but blame yourself. When a game controls well, there’s nothing else like it. You feel one with the game, and the controller begins to fade away.…
Gears of Wars: Ultimate Edition has folks getting nostalgic. Designer Cliff Bleszinski, who left Epic Games in 2012, used Twitter last night to share behind-the-scenes details about the game. As it turns out, several aspects of the series were inspired by the collapse of his first marriage. You’ll want to scroll through Bleszinski’s Twitter account…
Some PlayStation 4 owners are having trouble playing their digitally pre-ordered copies of Until Dawn, and Sony says it’s looking into it. “Our store team is currently investigating the issue,” the company wrote on its support forums.Bummer. Contact the author at [email protected]
If this is Hideo Kojima’s last Metal Gear trailer, he’s going out with a bang. My personal history with the franchise is complicated; loved the first and third games, couldn’t get into the second and fourth games. The deeper Metal Gear dug into its mythology, the more it pushed me away. (It’s weird, too, since…
Just after Sony revealed its PlayStation Plus lineup, Microsoft has announced which free games (assuming you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription!) are coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 next month. It’s not a surprise Microsoft would want to have more people playing Tomb Raider, given it’s invested in Rise of the Tomb Raider…
Galak-Z is coming to mobile devices next year, developer 17-bit announced today. How does a twitchy action game work with a touch screen? We’ll have to wait and see, but Galak-Z: Variant Mobile will apparently be heavily modified to work without a controller. You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on…
The creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s is not taking a break, but he doesn’t want the community to, either. He’s a little disappointed in them, actually, and threatening to not open “the box.” Scott Cawthon wrote a brief update on Steam last night, teasing what’s coming in October. Hardcore fans will have new challenges…
A teaser trailer for Barkley 2, a sequel to the hilarious Barkley, Shut Up And Jam: Gaiden, has arrived. It’s promoting the game being at PAX later this week—I can’t wait to check it out—and teases a release in…2023. (The developers tell us it’s actually early next year.) You can reach the author of this…
If you’re buying the standalone disc for Rock Band 4, it’ll cost you $20 more on Xbox One—$80 instead of $60. How come? You need a special device for your Xbox 360 hardware to to work on your Xbox One. The bundles, however, are the same price. You can reach the author of this post…
“I’ll never get to do this but here,” remarked an awe-struck father, as tears rolled down his face. YouTuber user Hoopermation filmed his dad while playing through the Apollo 11 VR demo for Oculus Rift. It only took a few moments before it was clear it was having a profound effect. Father: It’s unbelievable. It’s…
There are some great games coming your way next week. September’s lineup kicked off the first time PlayStation owners have been allowed to vote on one game that’s part of the lineup, and they picked Grow Home. (Excellent choice, if I may say.) The rest of the list, announced today by the company, ain’t too…
When Arc System Works bought the rights to River City Ransom and some other games, it wasn’t clear what it meant for the fan-made River City Underground. Thankfully, it’s not dead. River City Underground was funded in October 2013, which means we’re approaching two years since it was first announced. The game was planned for…
My wife and I fell for one another while drinking crappy beer and watching horror movies of questionable quality. This last week has been a repeat of that experience, but rather than watching a movie, we’ve been cackling our way through a video game. Until Dawn is a new horror game developed by Supermassive Games…
It’d be really nice if it was Friday, right? You’re in luck! Not only is it Friday, but that means another installment of Worth Reading, our weekly roundup of the best games writing around. Hey, You Should Read These “How the F.B.I. Made ‘Winners Don’t Use Drugs’ the Arcade Motto of the ‘90s” by Sean…
Twitch is a popular service, and there’s a good reason Amazon paid nearly $1 billion for it. But as a streamer and viewer, I’ve come to realize it’s not perfect; there are lots of problems, actually. It’s not an exaggeration to say Twitch is largely responsible for popularizing (and democratizing) the live streaming of games.…
We’ve been waiting for Warner Bros. to release a huge patch for Batman: Arkham Knight on PC to address the game’s huge technical shortcomings, but it’s not coming for another “few weeks.” Last we heard, it was supposed to come out this month. If you’re not familiar with what went wrong with Arkham Knight on…
The Internet’s attempt to play Dark Souls has been fun to watch, even if they’ve spent most of the time rolling into walls. But last night, a breakthrough: they beat the game’s first boss. It was awesome, but how they pulled that off calls into question whether they’re really playing Dark Souls anymore. The bar…
