Finally! Proof That Dead Space 3 Will Definitely Be Scary.
I’ve gone on record here on Kotaku telling you all that I have confidence in Dead Space 3. But others are not so confident, worried that the horror franchise will be mutilated by its new co-op addition, similar to the downward spiral Resident Evil experienced. But the guys over at Mega64, um I mean “Visceral,”…

In The Future, Even Dating Is An App. And It Runs On Your Eyeballs.
I can’t decide whether this is incredibly terrifying, or incredibly cool. I’m pretty sure it’s a mix of the two. This futuristic world—represented in this video project created by graduates of Bezaleal Academy of Arts—is probably a fairly accurate reflection on our current relationship with technology, though less “high tech” I would say. It’s a…

Now That’s Some High Quality Battlefield 3 Machinima
Awesomely produced machinima like this reminds me why machinima is so great to begin with. It’s often easy to forget, amidst the muck and confusion of what the hell machinima even is that seems commonplace on YouTube and elsewhere on the Internet, but Patwwa reminds us of the skill that’s meant to go in to…

Terrible Tech Support Rep Threatens to Leak Customer’s Home Address to Criminals, Customer Says
A DayZ player/Reddit user says they recently got some really bad customer support. Not the wait-20-minutes on hold kind of bad customer support. More like the threaten-to-send-your-home-address-to-criminals kind. The saga, which popped up in Reddit and message boards for the popular DayZ zombie mod, involves some escalating exchanges between the gamer, known as SinisterPrime, and…

Dead Space 3 Changes Might Not Be Anything to Fear
These days Dead Space fans seem scared by something other than the jumps and thrills of the series. It’s what the next installment in their beloved horror series could turn into that terrifies them. Visceral’s horror franchise has won players’ loyalty for a few key staples, like dark claustrophobic corridors, sudden scares and menacing Necromorph…
