My Boy, A Zelda Christmas Is A Merry Christmas

The Christmas sweater is an artform. One that has just been pretty much perfected. Well, I guess you could argue against this technically, since this is just a screenprint on a regular sweater, and not an actual knitted jersey, but whatever. The pic wins where the fabric falls short. X-MAS, MAH BOY![theyetee]

An Unexpected Nintendo Game Is Headed To Arcades

Nintendo has a long(like, real long) history with arcade gaming, a tradition that’s continued into recent times with stuff like F-Zero and Mario Kart.

Blacksmiths Forge Skyrim Helmet, Shoot At It

This Skyrim helmet isn’t just for show. It’s tough!

I’m Excited People Are Making Silly Shooters Again

I had a lot of problems with Sunset Overdrive when I first started playing it. As I wrote in my review, the game’s humor really rubbed me the wrong way. But I haven’t really been able to put it down in spite of that. It’s a real challenge trying to stay mad at something so…

A Haven For Horrible Call Of Duty Players

Along with the return of players-versus-bot multiplayer, Advanced Warfare introduces the wonderful Combat Readiness Program, a mode where people who really suck at Call of Duty multiplayer can anonymously feel better about themselves.

A Cheat Sheet for Alien: Isolation’s Weirdest Plot Holes

Alien: Isolation gave players an incredibly tense outer space horror game that successfully invoked the essence of the movie it’s based on. But, if you stopped and thought about what happens, not every thing makes sense. Some of it is downright silly. Like a lot of horror fiction, Isolation needs to keep pushing players into…
