They’re making Yakuza 6! Of course, they are! And the latest numbered entry in the Yakuza series is PS4 only. That shouldn’t come as a surprise as other Yakuza titles are PlayStation exclusives.

Look At This Metal Gear Solid V Action Figure
The world has never been short of Metal Gear Solid action figures. So it takes a lot for one to stand out and make me think, OK, that’s a really nice figure. Just look at him! The sculpt (which goes stylised without deviating too far from the source material), the articulation, the detail…amazing. That paradise…

CultureCosplayHi, I’m Yennefer Of Vengerberg; My Life Is Really Weird
So I’m halfway across the planet in a crowded hall, astride a unicorn with a young woman touching my face and repeating, “You look just like her!” Admittedly, I didn’t see this coming. I’m a cosplayer, and I work for CD Projekt RED as the official Yennefer of Vengerberg for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.…

UncategorizedMore Of This Please, Sports Video Games
This Spike Lee Joint™ (or, trailer for it) is a little too dramatic in places (well, all the places), but whatever. This kind of singleplayer madness is what I want from all sports games. Not just NBA2K, but FIFA and Madden too. And also Mario vs Sonic at the Olympics.

UncategorizedMario Maker Comes To Smash Bros., Looks Like Complete Chaos
On September 30, both the Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Smash Bros. will be getting a neat new addition: a stage based on Mario Maker. It looks very cool. As you can see, Maker’s giant hand comes in at the start of the fight, whips up a level and then you go at…

Why Aren’t These Actual Video Games
These pics, by artist Gustavo Viselner, are homages to classic films. And they’re good ones at that. But to me, they’re teases of great games that could have been, but never were. OK, so the excellent Alien 3 and Aliens vs Predator came close to that Ripley one, but I’m imagining these as adventure games,…

UncategorizedMario Maker ‘My Wife’ Level Tells A Short, Sad Story
Uh…dang, dude. This is some heavy stuff. Floating around Mario Maker is a quick level made by “P Morty” titled “My Wife.” You can watch a ‘playthrough’ of it below: Spelled out in coins are four simple words. “My wife left me.” Could be a prank—Wii U owners have traditionally used Miiverse to say all…

UncategorizedBecause All GTA V Ever Needed Was More Skyrim
I mean, why wouldn’t a dragon ditch Skyrim for Los Santos. There’s way more stuff to blow up. This cute clip is by Pinkman. And no, I don’t know why the Dragonborn is wearing such a naff jacket either.

UncategorizedFan Game Will Let You Bring Horrible Pokémon Fusions To Life
Mashing together unlikely pairings results in hilarious Pokémon—that’s exactly why Alex Onsager’s fusion website, which lets people create Frankenstein Pokémon with a few easy clicks, blew up the internet a while back. I have a feeling fusions are about to make a comeback in 2015, though—and it’s all thanks to a cool upcoming fan game.…

UncategorizedMetal Gear Solid V Glitch Lets Players Make Silenced Rocket Launchers
Forget Metal Gear. This is the ultimate weapon. Sneaking is hard. You’ve got to blend svelte form and lethal (or at least incapacitating) function, all while keeping light on your tippy toes. Big guns and bigger explosions? Not the best idea. Unless, of course, you’re playing Metal Gear Solid V, in which case they can…

UncategorizedBanned League of Legends YouTuber Defends His Trash Talking
Most people would tell you toxicity is something we should strive to avoid in games. One big YouTuber, however, doesn’t just embrace toxicity—he thinks it’s one of the few things that make games like League of Legends fun. Last week, YouTube jokester Dunkey was banned from League of Legends due to “toxic behavior.” Later in…

Bizarre DOTA 2 Tournament Sounds Like The Best Kind Of Mess
High-level competitive games almost unanimously have the same problem: players use a very narrow range of characters—over and over and over again. It makes sense. After all, if there are big bucks on the line, why risk it all on a character or class that players have deemed underpowered or less-than-ideal when matched against other…
