Lara Croft Cosplayer Poses With Actual, Giant Bear

I once did a cosplay photoshoot where I had to pose partially submerged in water in the middle of winter. I thought that was dedication. I was wrong — this Russian cosplayer has diced with the giant, furry jaws of death itself to get the perfect photo, shooting her Lara Croft cosplay with an actual,…

Look At These Space Channel 5 Figures

Good Smile Company are going back to the Dreamcast days for a couple of upcoming figmas, with two figures based on Space Channel 5’s Ulala. Out in December, there’s a “Cheery White” and “Exciting Orange” version, with both shipping with different Morolians.

A Game About Geckos Battling Each Other With Vomit

Gecko Ridemption, a game about the very real struggles geckos face in captivity, is not entirely “good” in the traditional sense. But it’s extremely good in many others. Published by Adult Swim, it’s a 1v1 gecko combat point capture sports game… I think? Yeah! Sure! Basically, though, you and your opponent are both geckos, and…

There’s A Starbucks At Blizzard’s HQ, And The Menu Is Great

Blizzard’s company headquarters in Irvine is a big, fancy place. So big that it has its own Starbucks, selling coffee with a Blizzard twist. While the main menu is of course the same as any other Starbucks, the specials at the moment are based on WoW: And Overwatch: And StarCraft: As you can probably tell…

Danger Zone Is A Great Revival Of Burnout‘s Crash Mode

At age 16, many teens learn how to drive. When I was 16, I learned the opposite of how to drive, by which I mean I spent hundreds of hours playing Burnout 3‘s Crash Mode. For years, I waited for some kind of successor to that gleeful demolition derby, but it never came. Until now.…

Spectator Crashes Key Street Fighter V Tournament Match

Christopher “NYChrisG” Gonzalez was in a tricky spot during the tail end of Combo Breaker’s Street Fighter V tournament in St. Charles, Illinois this past weekend.

New Sims Game Pack Makes Teens More Realistic, For Better Or Worse

The Sims’ new Game Pack, Parenthood, makes growing sims behave more like real life teens and children. While the new mechanics are fun, they’re also very stressful. The aim of Parenthood is to add some dynamism to families. I was really looking forward to this one—in the base game, there’s not a lot going on…

A Nostalgic Game That Spills Out Into Your Internet Browser

If the medium is the message, then AOL’s messaging software—at least for my generation—has the same sentimentality as whatever we talked about over it. That’s the pitch of Emily Is Away Too, a new visual novel that plays out in “EOL” Instant Messenger windows, away messages and personal profiles. I played its predecessor, 2015’s Emily…

Top Video Game Companies Won’t Stop Talking About ‘Games As A Service’

There was once a time when video game developers would make a game, release it, and then move onto the next big thing. That time has long since passed. These days, you’re more likely to see a new Metroid than you are to buy an AAA game that’s never updated, patched, or enhanced in some…

Fire Emblem Echoes‘ DLC Removes All The Challenge

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia normally provides a solid challenge, but the latest downloadable content might make the game too easy. There’s a lot of DLC available for Fire Emblem Echoes, enough that Nintendo’s charging a very steep $44.99 for a season pass. While future content includes prologue chapters that tell the story of…

Arms Players: Motion Controls Or Standard Controls?

Over the weekend a bunch of people had their first chance to play Arms, Nintendo’s upcoming rubber-band boxing game. If you played one of the hour-long “testpunch” betas, I have one question for you: motion controls, or nah? Arms can be played by detaching the Switch Joy-Con and moving them through the air: push them…
