Twitch released their look back on 2015tonight, and amongst all the “total hours viewed” stuff was something genuinely interesting: the top ten games streamed on the service for the year. Number one will shock you! (OK no it won’t). 1. League of Legends 2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. 3. DOTA 2 4. Hearthstone 5. Minecraft 6.…
This had all the makings of a memorable dinner party. Good friends, good food, some wine…if only these were real people, and not Sims.
Eastshade is so pretty that I want to paint it. Fortunately, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing in the game. You play as a traveling painter on a massive Morrowind-looking island where you can compose paintings anywhere. Characters will give you items and secrets in exchange for them. I’m intrigued.

Maru’s boyfriend Paladinhad, until last week, never cosplayed in his life. Time for that to change. The pair (Maru is a cosplay vet) went together as Link and Zelda to AniRevo Winter 2016 in Vancouver, and looked fantastic Pic by Oshley Photography
Clustertruck looked cool when I first saw it. Now that I’ve played it? First opinion still stands. Below you’ll see me play through some of the alpha’s first few levels. Oh, and die a lot. The entire game isn’t due out until later in the year, but if you want to try out a few…
Firewatch is a first-person video game where you’re constantly reminded of your character’s feet, arms, torso and legs. That all looks very cool in the intended first-person, but pan the camera out a little and oh my god Artist Olly Moss, who worked on the game, has been tweeting these clips today, showing the game’s…
I got done reading The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Volume 2 the other day, and it was awesome, full of stories like yakuza links to 80s studios, a video game kidnapping and a ton of fascinating interviews with Japanese developers. You can take a look here (or get it in a rad bundle…

Overwatch is back! And in case you were worried, no, Blizzard didn’t ruin it. Overwatch is, broadly speaking, very good—and has been since its first closed beta late last year. It’s a fun, lightning-fast team-based shooter that draws a surprising amount of character inspiration from MOBAs like League of Legends and DOTA 2. What Blizzard…
Now that Firewatch has been out for a few days, players have had enough time for the game’s Steam page to fill up with user-submitted screenshots. And hoo boy I knew this was a pretty video game, but I forgot that there’d be folks out there playing it on 21:9/double monitors, whose setup basically means…
I’m getting something about a “Shadow Chamber,” but I don’t quite understand what I’m supposed to do, exactly. I’ll click Tell Me More… Hmm… still not quite getting it…
Today Activision confirmed that, as Kotaku reported last month, Destiny 2 won’t be out until 2017. But there will be a significant expansion later this year. Said the company in a press release this afternoon: “Activision Publishing, along with its partners at Bungie, expects to bring a large new expansion to Destiny in 2016 and…
I love games that encourage players to break the rules. Super Impossible Road is a racing game where sticking to the straight and narrow will probably leave you eating dust (or glowy purgatory specks). Here’s what it looks like: And here’s how it works: “SUPER IMPOSSIBLE ROAD is a futuristic racing game about shortcuts. Get…
Agreed.
Last night I learned that if you happen to land on an enemy vehicle in Arkham Knight, Batman will automatically drop a remote mine, leap to safety, and disable the car. Most games would probably just make you ragdoll out and go flying, but I guess most games don’t star Batman.
Good news, PS4 and Xbox One owners. Thanks to the latest Fallout 4 patch, the console versions of the game are about on par with the PC version running on high. The ever-meticulous Digital Foundry took a closer look at patch 1.03 and found that thanks to new tweaks, the draw distance on both Xbox…
For some people, the first set of Pokémon designed by Game Freak might as well be the only Pokémon that exist. Given that this year those O.G. Pokémon turn 20 years old, what better time to mercilessly judge them against one another? Here is the definite ranking of the original 151 Pokémon, from worst to…
