There was a distinct lack of…

By any measure, Dark Souls is a difficult game, but for whatever reason, hardcore fan bearzly always wants to make it harder.

I’m still flabbergasted by the whole thing, honestly,…

I would very much like to play this version of Skyrim Modder UniqueUses has been playing around with Bethesda’s last Elder Scrolls game, and while I’ve seen plenty of visual mods for Skyrim, this is something else.

When you start a level in Ink, there’s nothing. By the end, it’s a platforming kaleidoscope. Am I the only person in the world really hoping for another de Blob video game? There’s something about filling a world with color that scratched an itch I never knew I had. Even if another de Blob never…
In this new Pac-Man game from the creators of Crossy Road, death by glitch is around every corner.

Before Rocket League, there was Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. But there was something before that, too, and it was a pretty different game. The original pitch for Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars was called Crash Course, which looks awfully familiar to the games we know today—but focused on car combat. The game’s developer, Psyonix, revealed gameplay…

Rocket League is the surprise hit of the summer, one that has plenty thinking “why didn’t anyone think of this before?” The developers of Rocket League did. They released Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars way back in 2008, but it went mostly ignored. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars was a footnote in the history of PlayStation Network…
