History Has Seen Some Weird-Ass Video Game Controllers

Here’s an interesting look through video game history from Redditor and Imgur user zadoc, who posts a picture of every control pad he has in his extensive collection. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK 40 in total, from the 1972 Magnavox Odyssey (up there) – which looks like a piece of medical equipment doctors…

The Gibberish Korean of The Interview

In what should surprise no one, The Interview features Korean that really doesn’t make that much sense. Yes, yes, the movie is satire. And yes, yes, it’s aimed at the English-speaking world, but with linguistic errors peppered throughout the flick, one has to wonder: Couldn’t Sony Pictures hire a proper Korean language translator to, you…

Comparing the Best Weather Effects in Racing Games

On one side, Driveclub with its game-changing weather system. On the other, the all-encompassingly beautiful Project CARS Spotted by DSOGaming, this video by YouTuber MotoGamesTV compares the rain effects found in the two games, from both third-person and cockpit views, on different tracks, in the afternoon and the evening. I can’t tell which one’s better,…

South Korea Gets a New Mega Man Game

But don’t get excited just yet. It’s not what you think. Titled Rockman GoGo!, this is an officially-licensed Mega Man (aka Rockman) title for Android. While Capcom signed off on the game, it was developed in South Korea by a studio called Jenoi. As explained in Sports Chosun (via tipster Sang), the studio got involved…

Here’s the First Trailer for Ant-Man

“Ant-Man” doesn’t invoke much fear, does it? The best part of the promo clip for Marvel’s next big superhero flick is Paul Rudd’s reaction. Sure, he’s getting handed an opportunity to put on a suit that gives him superpowers and redeem his pretty screwed-up life. But he’s got doubts about that moniker. Wouldn’t you?

Not Even Honest Trailers Can Keep Up With Kingdom Hearts‘ Story

The latest Honest Game Trailer focuses on gaming’s favorite high-speed collision of universes, Kingdom Hearts. As with most Honest Trailers, the Disney-Square Enix mash-up comes out a pile of twisted metal (and cartoon duck bills). But the trailer also raises a good question: where’s our Pixar world? In addition to making that extremely legitimate complaint,…

​I Finally Got My PS4 Controller How I Like It

The PS4 controller is a pretty darn good video game controller, but there’s always room for improvement. A couple of months ago, I bought a couple of cheapo PS4 thumbstick covers called Grip-Its and found that I liked them more than I was expecting to. After I ran an article about them, a couple of…

Watch One Guy Speedrun One Of The Hardest Games Ever Made

I Wanna Be The Boshy is one of the silliest games I’ve ever seen, a mishmash of characters and levels from classics ranging from Castlevania to Mega Man that seems designed to be as infuriating as possible. It’s insane. Outrageous. Totally unfair. Maybe that’s why it’s the best part of this week’s Awesome Games Done…

Mario Kart Music Makes Classic Action Movie Car Chase Better

Ronin is one of those movies people talk about when they list the best car chase scenes in all of cinema. But those tense automotive sequences really needed was a change in soundtrack. Because Mario Kart tunes can improve just about anything. The video above is the work of Josh Moore, who threw the Mount…
