Here’s The PlayStation Plus Lineup For February

There’s a range of games in PlayStation Plus’ lineup for February, which drops on the 7th. I can’t not “aaww” at the LittleBigPlanet games, and though I wasn’t a huge fan of Not a Hero on PC, I might really enjoy blasting away at foul-mouthed pixel enemies from my couch. As ever, these games are only…

Smash Bros. Sells Better On 3DS Than Wii U

Yesterday’s Nintendo financial report revealed that Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U sold 3.43 million fewer copies than the same game on the 3DS. It’s a surprising discrepancy considering that Smash 4 is the franchise’s first handheld incarnation and the game has traditionally been played on a home console. The 3DS’s 50% sales buff…

Japan Has Magikarp You Can Eat

Magikarp might be a useless Pokémon, but it certainly makes for a tasty snack! In Japan, “taiyaki” is a fish-shaped cake stuffed with red bean paste or custard. Taiyaki speciality shop Kurikoan has launched totally official Magikarp taiyaki—rather, “Koiking-yaki.” (In Japanese, Magikarp is called “Koiking.”) Priced at 106 yen (US$1.81), the treat comes in little…

Without A Doubt, The Best Yakuza 6 Glitches

Not only is Yakuza a good time, but it’s glitches and bugs can be, too. And here are the best ones of all. Like any big game these days, Yakuza 6 has some glitchy parts. Such as this. Or this buggy bit when the main character went M.I.A., turning Yakuza 6 into a first-person game.…

Mega Man Remade In 2.5D

Case in point: Mega Man 2.5D It’s a Mega Man fan game with two claims to fame: 2.5D graphics ala Paper Mario and co-op starring Mega Man and his better-dressed…

Look At This God Damn Final Fantasy Fork

This is being given away as part of a promo for Final Fantasy x Cup Noodles in Japan, meaning you’ll (probably) never get one, so for now just gaze upon the possibility of eating a cup of noodles with a God damn Final Fantasy sword. Why are they showing the GIANT FORK (FWORD? SWORK?) eating…

Full Metroid Prequel Created By Fans

If Nintendo isn’t going to make more Metroid games then it’s up to fans to keep the series going with games like Metroid: Rogue Dawn, an unofficial prequel to the original NES Metroid that’s been over two years in the making and which is now finished. It’s a ROM hack which transforms the original into…

I am a creature of habit. I order the same things at restaurants, I drink the same beer. I have television shows that I watch over and over, like comfort food. This becomes a problem in my game of The Sims 4, where all my new sims are using the exact same hair. The Sims…

The Latest Call Of Duty Zombies Had Me At The Crystal Method

The second installment of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s Zombies mode arrives today on PlayStation 4, trading the colorful ‘80s fun park ofZombies in Spaceland with the ‘90s vibe of Rave in the Redwoods. The Crystal Method makes some excellent undead-slaying music. I guess I didn’t know. The fallen movie director (Paul Reubens) who used…
