Elite: Dangerous Players Are Making Creepy Urban Legends

Watch as one Elite: Dangerous player finds out first-hand just how terrifying exploring deep space can be. In this (very fake) video, Afrothunderkat finds a strange distress signal while warping.

Mod Turns Skyrim Into A Full-Blown Pirate Game

I just got done reading Red Seas Under Red Skies, so I’m super stoked on pirates right now.

Elsa From Frozen Is Pretty Much Mewtwo

Here’s a kind of mind-boggling comparison. Ever notice how similar Mewtwo from Pokémon is to Elsa from Frozen? Really! Take a look at this comparison image, posted by Reddit user Nintendoreo: Ha.

Sparring With Smite‘s Latest God Of War

This morning Hi-Rez Studios added another deity to MOBA Smite‘s ever-growing stable. God of war Bellona might not be the most recognizable name in the Roman pantheon, but that’s okay—she prefers to let kicking everybody’s ass speak for her. I’ve not been a big fan of Smite’s warrior-type gods—I’m more of an assassin-fan, hitting hard…

If LittleBigPlanet Were A Horror Game, It’d Look Like This

Resident Evil: Revelations 2‘s Advertising Isn’t Entirely Honest

You can play split-screen co-op on the console versions of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 but not the PC version. It’s not uncommon for games to have different features on other platforms, here’s the problem: Capcom didn’t appear to tell anyone until the game was about to launch.
