Remixer Theophany is probably most famous for his Time’s End stunt a couple years back, but if their follow-up remix of Wind Waker‘s “Molgera” hasn’t already sold you on their talents, then this stunning Brinstar Depths remix will.

Recently a Tumblr site called 2.5D Mask has been uploading photos of a woman wearing different kinds of anime inspired paper masks. Why 2.5? Because, it seems, like other…

Disney Villains Get Together For Some Evil Scheming

How much cheating do you think happens during a card game involving Hades, Jafar, The Queen of Hearts, Cruella, Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Ursulla? Everyone must have aces up their sleeves!

​Who’s Your Main Character In Super Smash Bros. 3DS?

Sure, Smash Bros. is a game about watching a bunch of colorful characters duke it out. But it’s also about arguing over which character is best. I’m not a Smash die-hard like some of our staff members, but I’ve been having a hell of a good time with the new 3DS version of Super Smash…

Do You Even Green Lantern, Bro? No.

That’s it, DC Comics needs to revoke Turbine’s license to create variant versions of iconic heroes for MOBA Infinite Crisis. I draw the line at popped-collar, sandals-with-socks “SoCal Hal” Green Lantern. I can handle “Lifeguard” Aquaman. I don’t mind “Track & Field” Robin and “Varsity” Supergirl. But a line must be drawn somewhere, and Southern…

I Wish GameCube Controllers Worked With More Wii U games

New 3DS Game Looks Like An Indie Super Metroid

Here’s Xeodrifter, a new game from the Nintendo-friendly indie studio Renegade Kid, who are perhaps best known for the DS shooter Moon and the platformer Mutant Mudds. This one looks pretty special. Like a modern, independent take on Super Metroid. Killer chiptunes, too. Xeodrifter will be out for 3DS at some point in the near…

Get To Know Digimon All-Star Rumble‘s Greatest Warriors

Oh Gatomon, you don’t need to be a Pokemonto win my heart. You’ve got your own game coming November 11 to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and in the latest trailer for Digimon All-Star Rumble, you’re the star.

Take a Look at the First New Star Wars Arcade Game in Years

The best part of the Star Wars arcade games of yore was how they transported you into the movies, letting you be the one destroying the Death Star and defeating the Empire.
