As Fashion Press reports, the official site went up yesterday, March 31.…

And Now, Godzilla Versus Evangelion

I’m rather reluctant to call this an April Fools joke. Usually, Japanese companies are super incredibly clear about labeling stuff as an April 1st gag. This hit earlier today, appearing on the official Evangelion site as the “most maximum collaboration of 2016.” So, that’s what it is, really. A tie-up between two different properties, which…

Japanese VR Game: Save The Cat Or Die Trying

Look, spaceships and guns are fine for hardcore gamers, but when it comes to VR and the masses, you need to start somewhere softer. Like cats. On April 15, Namco Bandai will open VR ZONE Project i Can, a demo and display centre in Tokyo that’s going to let people put on a HTC Vive…

Daigo Immortalized With Statue (That You Can Buy)

Streaming Video Games All Day Is Harder Than You Might Think

It’s a little bit shocking that you can make real money playing video games all day.

Against all odds, it’s an actual career…

North American Counter-Strike Has Its Best Moment In Years

Counter-Strike is not exactly a sport where North American teams dominate.

In a stunning upset against the best CSGO team on this,…
