Here’s Rep. Chris Lee (D) from Hawaii standing in front of a camera and making an announcement about steps being taken to combat the “predatory behavior” of video game publishers, with particular emphasis given to Electronic Arts and its inclusion of loot boxes within Battlefront II And I mean particular emphasis: the video is titled…

PUBG‘s Second Big Tournament Shows It Still Needs Work As An Esport

Over the weekend, 20 top PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds teams faced off at Intel Extreme Masters in Oakland, California. From inside a series of what we might call PlayerUnknown’s BattleCubicles, squads squabbled over a $200,000 prize pool.

Bloodborne Enemy Went Undiscovered Until 2017

In 2014, some early Bloodborne footage showed off a big enemy with a flaming hand. It has taken until November 2017—long after fans assumed this beast had simply been cut from the finished product—for that enemy to actually be found within the game. As Moros Nyx shows in the video below, in 2014 a Flaming…

Star Wars Battlefront II Gets Luke Skywalker Right

Star Wars Battlefront II is a conflicted game. The multiplayer progression system is a mess, and the story campaign moves way too fast. But if there’s one thing it really nails, it’s everyone’s favorite farmboy from Tatooine. Luke Skywalker is a hero. The original Star Wars trilogy is remarkable in how it takes him from…

Anime Lovers Have Mixed Feelings About Fan Service

Anime’sfan service can be a minefield. Some fans scroll through each season’s offerings looking for the show with the greatest ratio of panty shots to plot. Others will turn off an anime and bury their face in their hands after even one lingering shot of an ice skater’s butt. But fan service means a lot…

Call of Duty: WWII‘s Nine Multiplayer Maps Aren’t Nearly Enough

Call of Duty: WWII is a fantastic return to the historic WWII era, if you don’t mind playing your favorite game modes on only nine maps. As I continue to play the game, I am starting to mind. The guns and action of WWII’s multiplayer feel much better after a few patches to improve connection…

Fight Me, Paul Tagliabue, In Real Life Or Street Fighter

Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue doesn’t like the esports trend. He doesn’t bunk with his peers in traditional sports who have leapt to invest in esports teams and leagues. And he doesn’t think esports are “sports.” I think Tagliabue and I would agree on one thing, which is that the term “esports” sucks. It sounds…

Valve Changes Steam Reviews To Stop Bots From Manipulating Pages

Valve has admitted that Steam reviews have a bot-brigading problem, and now it’s finally decided to do something about it. As part of an effort that’s already included anti-review-bomb charts, Valve has taken aim at yet another pernicious element of Steam reviews: vote manipulation. In short, it’s possible to rate reviews as “helpful” or not,…

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Is Charming But Sleazy

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a perfectly serviceable entry into the series, until the new mobile game reminds you that could be spending money on it. When you open up Pocket Camp it’s unsettling how much it looks and feels like the other Animal Crossing games. You’re first greeted by K.K. Slider, then Isabelle, two…

This Parody Of Battle Royale Games Looks Really Fun

A bunch of white dudes sit in an office, all of them wearing black suits and white collared shirts. Everyone sits in the same lime green swivel chairs. For a video game, Last Man Sitting sounds really boring. Add shotguns and ragdoll physics, though, and you have a recipe for the only battle royale game…

Widespread Rumor About EA Firing Plants vs. Zombies Creator Isn’t Quite True

It’s easy to believe that video game publishers like Electronic Arts are full of cartoon villains, which is why people were so quick to share a recent rumor about the publisher firing Plants vs. Zombies’ creator for refusing to make the sequel pay-to-win. The truth, as always, is far more complicated than that. The rumor…

For Better Or Worse, Final Fantasy XIV Bards Can Play Music Now

Today’s 4.15 update for Final Fantasy XIV adds a massive new 48-person player-versus-player battle mode, but that’s not important. Bards can play music now. It’s beautiful and horrifying. Players who have achieved level 30 as an Archer and have made the jump to the advanced Bard class can now travel to Old Gridania and finally…

A Small, Disturbing Side Story In Ultra Pokémon Sun and Moon

The original Sun and Moon are famed for having surprisingly dark story elements that redefined how we understood beloved monsters, along with core features such as Mega Evolution. Ultra Sun and Moon take that ball and run with it. One of the best examples of this actually happens early on in the new games. Not…
