Fan Gets Original Ezio Actor To Fix Recent Assassin’s Creed‘s Bad Voice Acting

When Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China came out last spring with a sound-nothing-alike voice actor growling through the handful of lines scripted for iconic franchise hero Ezio, a series superfan who goes by the name Loomer could have done nothing.

The New Metal Gear Trailer Sounds Like Kojima Saying Goodbye

If this is Hideo Kojima’s last Metal Gear trailer, he’s going out with a bang.

The First Clip of Nolan North In Destiny

Here’s a tease of what Nolan North’s rendition of Ghost sounds like in Destiny. I don’t know about you, but it sounds pretty similar to Dinklebot to me.

Five Nights At Freddy‘s Creator Says ‘Not A Single Person’ Has Figured Out His Game’s Story

The creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s is not taking a break, but he doesn’t want the community to, either. He’s a little disappointed in them, actually, and threatening to not open “the box.” Scott Cawthon wrote a brief update on Steam last night, teasing what’s coming in October.

Heads up to Heroes of the Storm players: in case you’re wondering where the Battlefield of Eternity map went, Blizzard took it out of rotation because of an issue that “can cause games to crash.” Also, a Blizzard rep told me that thenext Diablo map is coming out tomorrow.

Theory: Mortal Kombat and Enter the Dragon Are the Same Movie

Here’s undeniable proof that Mortal Kombat and Enter the Dragon are indeed one in the same. Or, as previously pointed out, maybe it shows how Mortal Kombat borrowed heavily from Enter the Dragon?
