Capcom Is Making A 3DS Game That Uses Train Passes

According to Famitsu, Capcom is developing a new 3DS title that uses smart cards for an upcoming title. These cards, also known as IC cards, are issued by Japanese railway companies and used as train passes and digital money cards. Players simply touch their train pass on the handheld’s bottom screen and will get items…

The Secret Message Hidden On Sega’s Arcade Bags

For the past two years, Sega Japan has been hiding a coded message on the plastic bags it gives out to those who win crane game prizes. Nobody realized they contained a secret message. That is, until now. Sega’s crane games are called UFO Catchers, and as I wrote in Arcade Mania, they are typically…

The Best Video Game Control Pads

There have been many different ways of playing video games on a console (and sometimes PC) over the years. Some have been better than others. How do you figure that out? For starters, I think you need to distance them from the console they were part of. The PlayStation’s original controller was not as sexy…

Nice Borderlands Cosplay

This is Russia’s SoranoSuzu with some awesome Borderlands 2 cosplay.

Even Dark Souls Cosplay Is Hard

This is Russian cosplayer niamash(whose Witcher work we’ve featured before) as Dark Souls 3’s Fire Keeper. You don’t see much Dark Souls cosplay, I’m guessing because the character design is so crazy that replicating many of the costumes would be so hard/expensive that it puts most cosplayers off. Not in this case. Photos by Eva

Louisiana Floods Delay Game Release

Not every game delay is down to release scheduling or technical mishaps. Sometimes, an Act of God is to blame. Road Redemption, a homage to 16-bit classic Road Rash that’s currently in Early Access on the PC, was due to be marking its final release next month. But the floods currently ravaging Louisiana—leaving tens of…

Tips For Playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is out today. It’s good! And like other games in the series, it gives you a lot of options in how you want to play. It’d be easy to feel a little overwhelmed at first. Which augmentations are best? Which playstyle is the most rewarding? How do you easily make a…

The King Of Fighters Is Back, Minus The 2D Charm

With 50 characters, tons of stages, plenty of online and offline modes and almost absurd technical depth, The King of Fighters XIV is everything fans of SNK’s long-running fighting game franchise could want, though it’s shed a little charisma with the transition to 3D. I’ve been following The King of Fighters series for ages, and…

Soon It’ll Be Way Easier To Use A PS4 Controller On PC

Sick of messing with drivers to get your DualShock 4 working on PC? Worry not. The solution, as always, is a dongle. Sony announced today plans to release a wireless adaptor for the PS4 controller that works on both PC and Mac. It’ll go on sale in early September for $25. It’s not 100% clear…

Roadhog Vs. Roadhog Is The Most Savage Overwatch Match-Up

Who’s the ultimate Roadhog? Whose death hook is quicker to clamp, a surer vice of animal ferocity? In a tug-of-war of barbed hooks and scrap metal dominance, I’ve decided that it’s me, and not that other Roadhog on the enemy team. It is definitely not that Roadhog. I am in fact emoting on his discarded…

Deus Ex: Invisible War Had No Idea How To Be A Deus Ex Game

In 2003, Ion Storm had the unenviable task of releasing a sequel to the critically acclaimed Deus Ex. Released during a time when the intersections of console and PC games were hazy, the end result is Deus Ex: Invisible War. It’s definitely not a good Deus Ex game. But is it as terrible as people…

No Man’s Sky Mod Lets You Crash Into Planets

Taken on its own terms, No Man’s Sky can be a relaxing, if somewhat hollow experience. But even I, the sort of person that chin-stroke-y tree admiration simulators were built for, get totally bummed out every time an invisible barrier stops me from ploughing my ship into a planet. The Lowflight mod by modder Hytek…
