Japan Is Even Censoring The Evil Within‘s “Uncensored” Version

The Japanese version of The Evil Within has filtered gore. So while the game is certainly creepy, it’s just not as bloody as it is in the West. Good thing there’s a download for an uncensored version. Shame this DLC doesn’t actually do that, though. As our colleagues at Kotaku UK previously pointed out, the…

It’s Not A New F-Zero, But It’s Damn Close

Red:Out is fast. Red:Out is the daredevil speed demon lovechild of futuristic racing classics F-Zero and WipeOut. Developer 34BigThings explained: “‘Redout’: a condition experienced by pilots in which blood is forced to the head and results in a reddening of the field of vision during maneuvers that produce a negative gravity force. Also, the fastest…

Grand Theft Auto’s Unexplained Myths

Every GTA hides secrets—rare and strange occurrences that would be right at home inside an episode of The X-Files. Some of them are scripted. Some aren’t. All of them end up logged and documented by players. If you’ve never visited the GTA Myths Wiki, I highly recommend taking a gander today. While there are things…

It Doesn’t Get Hotter Than Men Trying On Women’s Halloween Costumes

Building on the theme of sexy male Halloween costumes featured in last week’s Photoshop contest, Buzzfeed proves you don’t need to be a woman to make sexy costumes work. I was originally planning on taking my kids trick or treating this year dressed in the same costume I’ve worn the past two — intimidating and…

Video Games Get Gun Silencers All Wrong

You round a corner. You think you’re in the clear but—oh no!—an enemy is standing guard. How will you ever bring him down without alerting other guards? Aha, your pistol has a silencer. One mouse squeak gun shot later and you’re free. Except that’s not how silencers work at all This video from RagnarRox debunks…

EA’s Corporate Speak Is Meaningless, Court Agrees

Today a federal court ruled to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed against EA for lying about Battlefield 4, a video game that came out and didn’t really work for some people. The plaintiffs can appeal—though it doesn’t seem like they’ll eke much more out of this. What’s really interesting about the lawsuit, though, is how…

​We’re One Step Closer To Having A Real Transformer

Transformers! They’re the stuff of childhood dreams. And thanks to some enterprising folks in Japan, we’re one step closer to having them be a reality. You’re looking at J-deite Quarter, a 1.3-meter-tall transforming robot made by Brave Robotics, Tomy and Asratec. It’s step one in a 3-step goal of creating a 5-meter-tall, life-sized and transforming…

Mortal Kombat Doctors Are Miracle Workers

No matter how many times I’ve torn Johnny Cage in half, he keeps coming back. The Warp Zone gives us a look at the men behind the de-mutilation. In less violent fighting games it’s pretty easy to imagine Ryu or Ken taking to the sidelines for a couple of days to nurse their wounds. Maybe…

​Titanfall Is Adding A Co-Op Horde Mode

Titanfall is a lot of fun, but there’s no denying that it feels a little… thin. The game’s exclusive focus on player-vs.-player combat left many of us wishing for a bit more variety. Good news: The game’s latest update will add a cooperative mode to the game, and it looks pretty cool. The mode is…

Twitch Plays Smash Bros. Is Perfectly Chaotic

If I had to use one word to describe Smash Bros., it would be “mayhem.” Oh, hey. That’s the exact word I’d use to describe a room full of Twitch viewers trying to play a single video game, too. It’s almost like Twitch playing Smash Bros. is the perfect combination. You may know the Twitch…

​Here’s What Halo 3 Looks Like In 1080p

I Love What Disney Fantasia Lets Me Do To Music

It’s been ages since I’ve exercised this much control over the music in a rhythm game, and I’ve never felt so sore after doing it. Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved arrived on Xbox One (and 360) yesterday, and its magnificent manipulation of popular and classical music is an excellent excuse to reconnect the Kinect and start…
