UncategorizedTime It Took One Fan to Make This Incredible Brinstar Depths Remix
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. They produced the track for the excellent remix album, “Harmony of Heroes.” In a short chat with…

When Anime Faces and Reality Meet, Things Get Freaky
There is nothing wrong with googly-eyed anime characters. There is nothing wrong with paper masks. But giant-eyed paper masks on humans in real world settings? Yikes! 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…

UncategorizedThe Messy Story Behind YouTubers Taking Money For Game Coverage
Before Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor‘s release, a curious thing happened: critics on YouTube (and some in the traditional press) tried to obtain early PC copies for review, but couldn’t. And yet, YouTube entertainers were able to—if they agreed to terms like, “videos will promote positive sentiment about the game.” These sort of brand deals, as…

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! At the very least, when so many Disney villains get together, there’s gotta be some evil plotting going on, right? Or maybe they gossip…

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…

UncategorizedAlien: Isolation Isn’t As Scary When The Alien Glitches Out
Alien: Isolation can be a pretty tense, terrifying game. But that experience depends on having things in the game actually work like they’re supposed to—which isn’t always the case for everyone. Earlier today we saw a funny case where someone encountered a glitch that made Ripley scream at a door, of all things. But the…

I Wish GameCube Controllers Worked With More Wii U games
If you were looking forward to using the GameCube controller with any Wii U game other than the new Super Smash Bros., Nintendo had some bad news for you today: the forthcoming adapter will only be compatible with the new fighting game when the two come out next month.

UncategorizedNew 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.

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.

UncategorizedTake 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.

UncategorizedPlayer Beats Smash Bros.’ Hardest Boss Without Taking Any Damage
Cripes. I haven’t even been able to defeat Master Core on Smash Bros.’ harder difficulties at all yet, so watching this Ganondorf defeat a level 9 Master Core without taking any damage is baffling. Seriously, スマブラチャンネル is a beast for pulling this off. Level 9 intensity, for those that don’t know, is the highest difficulty…

EsquirebobAnimations packs this video with a ton of clever references to Pokémon, and the process involved with training Pokémon—all in the…
