When Dark Souls II Hacking Becomes Art

Hacking in a game is often used for banal, selfish reasons. But when someone uses it for something wonderful, it deserves a little bit of credit. MrAlbinoLama hacked Dark Souls II to turn his magic projectiles into hypnotic, cascading shapes that are very soothing to watch. I am not saying you should do this —…

Until Dawn Is a Horror Game Where Everyone Can Die
