Naturally, Somebody Beat Dark Souls 3 With Their Feet

People beat the Dark Souls games in all sorts of ridiculous ways. This one might be the weirdest. People have beat Dark Souls with Donkey Konga’s bongo drums. Another person did it with the game flipped upside-down. The Souls games are hard enough on their own, but fans love one-upping each other. Celesterian Games has…

Paragon‘s Essentials Edition Is Paid Early Access In A Box

Having to purchase a special founder’s pack to gain exclusive beta access and special content for a free-to-play game like Paragon is quickly becoming the norm. Releasing a $60 physical copy of a free-to-play downloadable game that scores players the same sort of benefits is a bit odd. The Unreal Engine 4 (because what else…

Injustice 2 Is Coming, Suggest Retail Leaks

With Mortal Kombat X heading into the rear-view mirror, it’s about time for NetherRealm Studios to announce a new game. It looks like that game is Injustice 2, a sequel to the DC fighting game from 2013. The first word on Injustice 2 came from Twitter this morning, apparently part of a retail promotion arriving…

Vagina Video Game Devs: Apple Asked Us To Change Everything For App Store

La Petite Mort is a game about touching a pixelated vulva. There is technically no nudity in the game since everything is rather abstracted, but the general gist was still enough to get the game taken down from the app store. (NSFW warning.) Developers Lovable Hat Cult created La Petite Mort with the intention of…

Final Fantasy XIV Finally Gets An Optimize Equipment Button, And It’s Great

Final Fantasy XIV update 3.3 went live today, bringing the Dragonsong War story to an end and adding new raids, dungeons, trials and more. My favorite part of the update is that little Recommended Gear button up there. Call it Optimum, Best Equip, Optimize or Optimal, the ability to automatically assign the best equipment for…

One Year Later, Did Microsoft (And Friends) Keep Their E3 2015 Promises?

E3 2016 starts next week, and with it comes the opportunity to cheer or groan over teases about upcoming games and news. As we do every year, we’re checking back on the hype from last year’s show, to see what the big three platform holders actually delivered. Let’s start with Microsoft and see how they…

A Closer Look At Overwatch‘s Generous Headshot Hitboxes

Does playing Overwatch make you feel like there’s something in the water? Something that magically transforms you into a sniper demon, or conversely, a tottering watermelon with legs? You might be onto something. Force Gaming decided to test Overwatch’s headshot hitboxes (that is, the area in which something counts as a hit as opposed to…

XCOM 2 Coming To Consoles In September

The excellent turn-based strategy game XCOM 2 will be PC exclusive no more later this year. Publisher 2K announced this morning that the game will be coming to Xbox One and PS4 on September 6. Veteran studio The Workshop is handling the port of the Firaxis game.

Transmission is a sci-fi exploration game that looks out of this world. It’s got a great sense of scale and style, and it’s not just for show. The game touts a high degree of environmental interaction as a key feature. Transmission is on Steam Greenlight right now.

2016’s Best* Video Game Concept Art 

Every year, around the time of E3, an exhibition called Into The Pixel is held, which celebrates the work of professional video game artists. With a panel made up of veterans from companies like Blizzard and 343 Studios, it’s a great way of recognising the best work in the field. While there’s no way to…

Final Fantasy XII On The PS2 Compared With The Remastered PS4 Trailer

Via Siliconera, here’s a look at how Final Fantasy XII on the PS2 stacks up against the PS4 remastered version’s debut trailer. There are bound to be more in depth comparisons once Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is released, or at least once we have more footage. Don’t forget that Square Enix still has…

Kojima Productions Continues To Churn Out Logo Art

The debut game from Kojima Productions won’t be coming any time soon. While the studio will be using third party development tools to speed things along, making video games takes a long time. Logos, however, can be done much more quickly. Last December, Kojima Productions first released its new studio logo. And then back in…
