Alone In The Dark Is Coming Back, And I Am Afraid

Alone In The Dark is a series that, long ago, meant something. It was the original 3D survival horror game, and the first two titles weren’t just terrifying and a blast to play, but had a gorgeous old-timey art style as well. In later years, though…well, let’s just say time and some publisher misdeeds pissed…

Watch These Fish Play Street Fighter

Sure, we all know that fish love playingPokémon, but did you know that they also throw down in Street Fighter II? Time to watch them fight! Of course they aren’t really fighting. Just like in Fish Plays Pokémon, the buttons are mapped to whatever part of the tank they happen to be swimming. Let’s watch…

​27 Things You Might (Actually) Not Know About The Simpsons

I knew that Michael Jackson was involved in “Do The Bartman,” but I did not know why The Simpsons movie was banned in Burma. These sorts of videos—the things you didn’t know about the thing—are awfully common these days. That said, this one from Buzzfeed Video is pretty good. I didn’t know a lot of…

Maybe A Stone Age Assassin’s Creed Wouldn’t Be So Bad

“Me make new thing!” “Me already have stick.” “No… Pointy stick.” This fan video takes a tongue-in-cheek look at what would happen if Assassin’s Creed rode a wave of DNA science magic all the way back to the Stone Age, and it does not disappoint. I especially like the new blending mechanic. The supposition that…

Oh Cool, Someone Made A Game Out Of My Greatest Fears

You know those singing, dancing robots at children’s entertainment restaurants like Chuck E. Cheese’s? The ones whose eyes are unblinking, bottomless pools of rancid death? Yeah, Five Nights at Freddy’s is a game about watching them. At night. Greaaaaat. I mean, look at this: and this: This one has its fair share of cheap-ish jump…

A Handy Way to Know When All the Games Come Out

Fall is coming, and it’s bringing a ton of games for you to enjoy. But maybe you’re having a hard time tracking when the titles you’re looking forward to are coming out. If that’s the case, then the Play Date interactive game release calendar is for you. Developed by software engineer Chris Gregori, Play Date…

What Bloodborne Will Look Like When You’re Actually Playing It

Bloodborne looks great—like Dark Souls‘ cool trench-coat-wearing uncle—but we’ve only really seen it in “epic” trailers, screenshots, and gifs. Pure, mostly unfiltered gameplay footage sounds like just what the doctor (Dr. Dark Souls PHD, to be clear) ordered. Everyone in this game world has such great hats. And fashion sense in general. It’s like a…

​Battlefield 4 Screenshots Become Stunning Photographs

A game that’s been modded inside and out is sometimes indistinguishable from the game that was released, and Battlefield 4 is no different. The screenshots below are from Battlefield 4 player Berdu using SweetFX and Hattiwatti’s Cinematic tools. But the mods aren’t the only thing doing heavy lifting — Berdu has a fantastic eye for…

Wasteland 2 will be coming out on September 19, according a tweet from creator/designer Brian Fargo. You can read an interview with Fargo right here.

Diablo III Feels Like It Was Made For Next-Gen Consoles

It all started with the dodge button. Blizzard added that to Diablo III when bringing it to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. Dodging was a great feature, but it wasn’t enough to make me switch my allegiance from playing on a PC. Now that Diablo III is out for the PS4 and…

GoldenEye Is An Excellent Game, But The Movie Has Problems

One of the most beloved first-person shooters ever to grace a Nintendo console was born of a movie that was not James Bond’s finest outing. One would think the greatest secret agent in the world would take less time to kill Sean Bean, for one. CinemaSins finds many more problems than just the one, but…
