Watch Mass Effect‘s Geth Dance to Dance Central 3
If you’re at PAX Prime this weekend be sure to head over to Harmonix’s booth, where cosplayers dancing on stage is hilarious. You can also pick up some fancy slap watch bracelets that make me feel like I’m I’m elementary school again. Clarification: This is the character Legion, not a generic Geth.

Let’s Take A Tour of the ArenaNet Studios, Where The Wall Art Is Beautiful And There’s A Cereal Bar
Guild Wars 2 may be filled with amazing artwork, but the development team behind the game—ArenaNet—makes the best use of them as wall art. Concept art blown up to staggering sizes line the walls of the two-floor studio, artfully complementing the half-industrial, half-wood laden interior. There really isn’t a wall that isn’t plastered with gorgeous…

Fable: The Journey Might Be the Next Kinect Game Worth Caring About
I’m not really anti-Kinect. It’s just that a lot of Kinect games really suck. But I absolutely love Dance Central and Fruit Ninja Kinect is always a hit with my non-gaming friends when they come over for after-partying. But those hits are few and far between. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Fable: The Journey. For…

Here’s a Piece of Adventure Time Dialogue Pen Ward Wrote Two Nights Ago
Last night I got to chat with Adventure Time creator Pen Ward about the upcoming 3DS game he’s co-writing. It’s called Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!

What Makes A Good Knife Kill In First-Person Shooters
What’s the big deal about Counter-Strike? Wasn’t it just a Half-Life mod? Well that Half-Life mod was so popular that Valve developed it into a standalone, multiplayer first-person shooter. People lost hours of their lives playing version 1.6 of the game. And then when Valve released Counter-Strike: Source, an update to 1.6 that ran on…
