Power Rangers Get a Mighty Gritty Reboot

Massive intergalactic warfare. Tons of cussin’. Lethal force up the wazoo. Threesomes. Yup, you’ve probably never seen Power Rangers look like this. This short film directed by Joseph Kahn and produced by Adi Shankar (Dredd) re-imagines the Saturday-morning staple as something a lot closer to Mortal Kombat. Casting James Van Der Beek as a traitorous…

There’s a new Guitar Hero game coming this year, say our friends at Kotaku UK. Rumor (or, in this case, rumour) suggests it’ll be more “realistic” than previous games in the series, with new guitar peripherals and a scheduled release for PS4 and Xbox One by the end of 2015.

Show Us Your Horrible Mess Of Video Game Cables

Electronic gadgets are cool. Knotted, tangled cables are not. Yet rarely will you find the one without t’other. Maybe you’ve done a good job of hiding your cable mess. But it’s still there, slumbering in the dark, flexing slowly of its own volition, using the long weeks and months to turn in on itself until…

A War Game Where You’re A Housekeeper Instead of A Soldier

Last week, I had a chance to play a war game unlike any other I’ve played. Called Sunset, the game puts you in the shoes of a housekeeper. You clean up after a rich bachelor who seems to be a part of a revolution—and you seem keen on being a part of it, too. What…
