UncategorizedAlone 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…

UncategorizedThe Morrowind Remake Is Still Happening, Still Looking Fantastic
Some wonderful people have, for a while now, been dragging The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind into the engine used by the series’ fifth game, Skyrim. It’s a long, tough job, but after loads of trailers and environmental fly-bys, we’ve got a good look today at some actual walkin’ around. Note that while the project looks…

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…

Uncategorized27 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…

UncategorizedMaybe 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…

UncategorizedGTA Online Stunt Turns RPG Into Sniper Rifle
“The longest RPG shot ever” in GTA Online is definitely staged, but you gotta give these guys props for composing all the shots in this video. Plus, you gotta admit, this is the sort of thing we all get obsessed with doing while playing GTA. Check it out: (Via videogames)

UncategorizedOh 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…

UncategorizedWhat 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…

Dota 2 Really Makes Me Want to Buy Stuff
I am 132 hours into Dota 2. During this time, I haven’t spent a single cent on the game, but damned if it’s not doing everything in its power to tempt me. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out. In fact, I think it’s probably inevitable that I will end up spending…

A Line Of Statues Based On Kirby Outfits? Oh No.
They’ve done Zelda, they’ve done Metroid and they’ve done Mario — what Nintendo properties are left for collectible maker First 4 Figures? How about a line of statues based on the many forms of the magnificent Kirby? This is going to get expensive. One has to imagine the sculptor of Sword Kirby, the first in…

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…

UncategorizedGoldenEye 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…
