Scorn is an open-ended horror adventure set in a world made of flesh and bone. Cords of ropy muscle wrap around cold steel machinery while meat towers glisten in the distance. Even guns are made of guts and gristle. It is all so compellingly strange. H.R. Giger would be proud. Scorn will be out on…

Overwatch‘s Basketballs Now Shoot Confetti, But At What Cost

At the start of some Overwatch levels, you can find basketballs aboard the Overwatch crew’s trademark sky limo. They’re fully physics-enabled, so you can blast them to your heart’s content.

Cut Street Fighter V Characters Included “Fighting President” And “Clumsy Cutie”

Sixteen characters made the cut for Street Fighter V, but they weren’t the only ones designed for the game.

It’s Hard Getting Back On The Division Train

This week, The Division got its first major expansion. It adds some pretty cool stuff to the game, but I’ve been having a hard time getting into it. Turns out once you’ve fallen off the Division train, it’s hard to get back on. The Division: Underground is, in theory, just the sort of thing the…

I Don’t Want To Make A Whole Thing Out Of It But I Totally Should’ve Gotten Play Of The Game For This

Look, I realize that Overwatch’s Play of the Game system is flawed. When it comes down to it, I’m usually just happy if my team won. But COME ON, this is some bullshit. At the very start of a match on King’s Row, I took down like half the opposing team: My team ultimately won,…

Asemblance Is A Mindfuck Of A Game That You Should Try

A little bit of P.T. mixed in with The Stanley Parable, Asemblance is a video game experience that totally messed with my head. What Asemblance does really well is ambiguity: you will spend most of your time wondering if aspects that the game presents are actually real. But let’s back up for a second here.…

Fellow Division Players, Please Stop Kicking Me From Your Group

I’m trying to get into The Division’s new Underground DLC, but apparently no one wants me in their group. Two nights ago, I was matchmaking my way into the new randomized four-player co-op Underground missions in Ubisoft’s morose open-world shooter. I was having a grand old time. Last night, however, I tried to do the…
