UncategorizedA Game That’s Become A Political Battleground
Agar.io is a fun, free multiplayer game you can play right now. It’s also become a political battlefield. In the game, you play as a tiny, colored cell gunning to eat smaller cells and avoid being slurped into someone else’s gelatinous cellmass—gradually, agonizing bit by agonizing bit—yourself. It’s extremely simple but weirdly compelling, especially once…

UncategorizedThe World Is Over. Have A Cute Robot.
Oh look, another bleak indie survivial game for the PC. Only this one has…isometric visuals? And a helper robot? And a soundtrack by the wonderful Mitch Murder? OK, Impact Winter, I’m very interested. There’s a lot to like about this clip, which introduces us to some of the game’s basics. The way damage to a…

The Horrors Of The NBA, Unleashed
It’s funny the first three times you see it, but then you start to wonder, what sound is he making, if he’s making any sound at all? Is it a shrill, bird-like shriek? Or is he singing a song to summon the great spirits of the void, who will emerge from the depths and consume…

CultureCosplayDOTA 2 Cosplayer Set On Fire
I…just…holy shit. Look. This dude is literally on fire. Táy Máy Tò Mò’s Lina cosplay is magnificent. For starters, it’s a great piece of boot-strapping cosplay; the outfit looks great in these shots, but it’s only when you squint that you see it’s made out of things like floor mats and Coke wrappers. But whatever,…

World Of Warcraft Players Are Pissed Their Characters Can’t Fly
World of Warcraft players are, in a very literal sense of the word, grounded. Many of them don’t like that one bit. Hoping to hit up a WoW forum or comment thread to chat about raid issues or how weirdly detailed male orc butts used to be? You might want to wait a bit. People…

Every Now And Then Something Lovely Happens In Destiny
And now for a short Destiny story. Last night, I was teamed up with two friends, playing through Destiny’s new Prison of Elders challenge mode. It was me, my colleague Jason Schreier, and Mashable’s Adam Rosenberg. The three of us regularly play together. We were taking on the Prison on level 32, which is a…

UncategorizedA Mad Max Car Chase, Recreated In GTA V
The ingenuity of Grand Theft Auto players always delivers. Though GTA V doesn’t have a very good selection of post-apocalyptic gear, it does have a ton of cars and a nice film editor. Equipped with this, TheSlothsDen manages to capture the spirit of a high octane Mad Max car chase pretty well in GTA. Instead…

Bloodborne players continue to amaze us with their ridiculous gaming feats. CraddocAtTwitch is a player that has managed to beat most of the major Bloodborne bosses while at the lowest possible level in the game, without healing, and without guns. Really.

The Witcher 3 Is Even Bigger Than You Think
The Witcher 3 is a really big game. This is known. Still, I’m not sure everyone grasps just how massive it is. I sure didn’t. I’ve already “finished” the game; I played through to the conclusion for my review. But as I said at the time, I had to blow past a bunch of sidequests…

The BestsThe Best Video Game Movies
It’s a well-worn cliche that movies based on (or around) video games are just the worst, but that’s not always the case. Usually, yes, but not always. I mean, yeah, there’s Chun-Li, and Hitman, and Super Mario Bros., and Bloodrayne, and Doom, and Need For Speed, and Alone in the Dark, and Max Payne, and…

The Only Way To Get This Steam Achievement Is To Cheat
Invisible, Inc. is a game that is all about secrecy and hacking. Fitting, then, that one of its achievements can only be nabbed if players mess around with the game’s files. As Siliconera reports, back in early May some Steam players were stumped by an achievement in Invisible, Inc. Called “Meta-Hacking,” its a hidden achievement…

The year of Luigi never ends. We’ve seen Luigi wreck everyone in Mario Party by doing nothing. He’s reigned supreme over the AI in Meleeby doing nothing too. And now Omega Tyrant has managed to get Luigi to win against every level 9 character in Smash Bros. for Wii U without doing a single thing…

UncategorizedEvery Sex Scene In The Witcher 3
At its core, The Witcher 3 is a game about two things: hunting monsters and looking sexy. Surely you’ve noticed that Geralt looks like the leading dude of a trashy romance novel, yeah? I can’t be the only one that pauses at Geralt’s obsession with slathering oil on stuff, right? Before the game even released,…

Holy crap. Warning: There will be spoilers for Life Is Strange in this post, obviously! I’ve been playing hours and hours of The Witcher 3 in the last week, but I needed a break from the witching, and the newest Life Is Strange episode seemed like the perfect palette cleanser. What I didn’t expect was…
