N.O.V.A. 3 Is The Most Ambitious Mobile First-Person Shooter I’ve Seen
First-person shooters suck on a mobile device, don’t they? They’re inaccurate, fidgety, uncomfortable…and just downright rage-worthy. Why would you even want to play Call of Duty on your iPhone anyway, right? Though N.O.V.A. 3 doesn’t escape the flaws of mobile first-person shooting entirely, it does a damn good job of making you forget about them.…

Even Pikachu Dressed Up For The Premiere of The Avengers
Did you go see The Avengers opening night? Pikachu did. Pikachu is a hardcore fan, didn’t you know? I mean, did you dress up as four of the Avengers, all at once? I didn’t think so.

Chalk Warfare Will Make Your Childhood Feel Incomplete

You Can’t Hold This Battlefield 3 Jeep Back From Its Dreams of Being an Airplane
This jeep in Battlefield 3 is special. It won’t listen to reason when you say things like, “But you’re just a Jeep. You were designed for 4-wheeling and hazardous shooting.” And of course the only thing left to do when trapped in a glitched out Jeep is to answer the call of many of our…

This Real-Life Portal Turret Will Track And Shoot You
This has to be the coolest thing I will see today. I need at least two to stand guard by my apartment. Not only does this currently uncased Portal turret track its victims with a camera, but it can even shoot (non-lethally) at them. And it’ll inquire after you if you’ve left its sights. The…
