Playing Vanquish One-Handed Has Never Looked So Easy

One of the most impressive things I’ve seen yet during Awesome Games Done Quick 2015, the speedrunning marathon for charity, is disabled gamer “halfcoordinated” demolishing Platinum Games’ Vanquish with only one hand. He prefaced his run by explaining that one-handed is his normal way of playing. He suffers from Hemiparesis, which causes weakness on the…

PC Modders Turn Metal Gear Solid Into A First-Person Shooter

The Metal Gear Solid games have allowed players to look around in first-person for quite a while, but to play the whole game like an FPS—with convincing movement and decent controls?

Still No Word Why Far Cry 4 Stopped Working For Some Xbox One Owners

Far Cry 4 for the Xbox One disappeared from the Xbox Marketplace for a little while earlier this week, preventing some from playing a game they own.
