Three Consoles, One A/V Port

It is unholy, and yet, also strangely beautiful. Squint and you’ll see the PlayStation’s contribution, with a “Sony Computer Entertainment America” screen flashing up a few times. And the Xbox’s menu features prominently early on. Aside from that, though, this three-way struggle for AV supremacy was clearly won by the GameCube and Final Fantasy Crystal…

The Rat Game Is Making Me Puke

Medieval adventure game A Plague Tale: Innocence, which had one of the more memorable E3 trailers, now has some gameplay footage to go with the cinematics. If you do not like rats, please continue scrolling past this story. Look at all these rats! Look where they came from! I already love this game. It’s gross…

Sexy Steam Games Have Spent Months In Limbo Thanks To Valve’s Inconsistent Rules

James Cox was finally feeling optimistic about his game’s chances on Steam. Last year, his horror-inspired exploration of what it’s like to look at porn for the first time, You Must Be 18 or Older to Enter, got booted from Valve’s walled garden, but then, earlier this year, Valve said it was getting rid of…

There Are Never Enough AA Batteries Around To Power My Xbox One Controller

Two AA batteries. That’s all I recently needed to turn my Xbox One controller on and get back to steaming dumplings in Overcooked 2. It was around 1:00 a.m. on a Saturday, though, and I didn’t have any left. I found an Energizer box crammed upside down in a coffee table drawer. It was empty.…

God Of War‘s New Game Plus Actually Does Feel Like A New Game

God of War’s New Game Plus mode doesn’t offer any radical spins on the game’s formula, but does reveal how much fun the game is when you’re given all the tools it offers you for all your beheadings and beatdowns. Kratos fans who want reasons to keep playing the new God of War have been…

H1Z1 Battle Royale Community Split Over Third Person Aiming Glitch

A large portion of the H1Z1 Battle Royale community on PS4 is split over a third person aiming glitch. Players appear split between complaining about or supporting the glitch. While there are other bugs in H1Z1, many players believe this glitch in particular is unfair. Currently, aiming in H1Z1 Battle Royale works in two ways.…

PUBG Is Getting A Training Mode

Since time immemorial (it’s been a long year), PUBG players have been asking for a training mode. OK, actually they’ve mostly been asking for bug fixes and optimization, but they’ve also been harping on the whole training mode thing. Soon, they’ll be getting their wish. Training mode will take the form of a new 2×2…

An Existential Doll-Making Game About The Future Of Bodies

Ship of Theseus is a straightforward game. You are given dozens of body parts with which to design and construct an android. Mixing and matching pieces until you settle on a unique creation is a lot of fun. But Ship of Theseus is also a meditation on the human body and what it means to…

Sex-Soaked Ace Attorney Fan Game Gives A Whole New Meaning To ‘Penal Law’

I’ve never written smutty fan fiction, but you can bet your butt that if I did, it would be about Phoenix Wright. But I wouldn’t write this hypothetical fanfic about the recognizable, spiky-haired, boyishly handsome version of Wright who appears in most of the games in the series. Oh no. My choice would be, specifically,…

Warhammer Card Game Feels Like A Heavy Metal Hearthstone

Not too long ago I heard about a Warhammer 40k card game on smartphones. I decided, as part of my fool’s errand to try to wrap my head around the new explosion in Warhammer video games, to check it out. What I found was a competent game made irresistible by how unflinchingly metal it is.…

The Internet Reacts To Overwatch’s Animated Short About D.Va

After two years of waiting, Overwatch hero D.Va finally has her own animated short. While some people wish it gave a little more insight into her backstory, everyone can agree that D.Va is a selfless, precious angel who has never done anything wrong. Hana “D.Va” Song is an incredibly popular character, to the point of…

Haunting Ground‘s Daniella Is One Of Gaming’s Most Chilling Horrors

By the mid-2000s, Capcom was rightly considered a formidable creator of horror games thanks to venerable series like Dead Rising, Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil. But one of its best horror games never spawned a series and wasn’t a critical or commercial megahit. The 2005 PlayStation 2 game Haunting Ground is a…

Assassin’s Creed Is Skipping 2019

The next big Assassin’s Creed game won’t arrive for at least another two years, Ubisoft has said, confirming that the once-annualized series is annualized no more. “We are not going to have a full-fledged Assassin’s next year,” Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot told Gamespot at Gamescom in Germany this week. “It’s just because the teams were…
