Never mind the fact this is a fan project. Human Revolution is a Deus Ex short film that’s easily on par with anything we would have expected from, say, a commercial TV network. It’s been teased for a while now, but the full thing is now finished and ready for viewing. It runs for about…
A timely reminder: This Kickstarter, asking for a measly $250,000, was just two years ago. My, how times (and bank balances) change
Why yes, I would use the Power Mitt, which is not the superhero alter-ego of a certain Massachusetts-based former presidential candidate, but rather an oven mitt designed to look like Mattel’s famous Nintendo peripheral. I would use it to take my cookies out of the oven, and it would rule. CreatorPete Hottelet of Omni Consumer…
Now that Facebook is buying Oculus Rift, people have all sorts of opinions. Unsurprisingly, reactions have been rather negative: Oculus was supposed to be the future of gaming! Now that Facebook is involved, everything is ruined! Or something like that. You don’t have to browse for very long to find reactions like this—one of the…
Video games often feel so very current; it’s all happening right now. Every year, everything is different! But… how will this all look when viewed from the distant remove of the far future? Last week during the Game Developers Conference “Rants” panel, games researcher/designer/critic Ian Bogost gave an interesting mini-talk in which he imagined himself…
The people at Oculus VR are doubtless pretty psyched that Facebook just bought their company for $2 billion. Some game developers, not so much. Among the displeased is Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson, who tweeted that in light of the Facebook acquisition, he’s cancelled a deal he and his company Mojang were working on to…
Reading a choose-your-own-adventure book is pretty fun, but it can be hard to retrace your story. Any attempt to place your chapters back-to-back would require ripping pages out of the book, and that’s certainly no fun. But what if you could have a CYOA print out your story as you went, leaving you with a…
Multiplayer matches around the world would provide a better experience for all of us if everyone just agreed to a few simple rules. Commandments, if you will. Dorkly has gone ahead and drawn up comics for ten commandments for FPS multiplayer games, and they’re pretty great. Like the one above, for example—because seriously, too many…
Facebook has just announced that it’s buying Oculus Rift for $2 billion. Seriously. “Mobile is the platform of today, and now we’re also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow,” Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg says. “Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play…
It’s only natural that we should want to protect our kids; they seem so small and helpless, so vulnerable to the dangers of the world. But actually being a kid means constantly negotiating danger and, usually, coming through just fine. A recent article at The Atlantic takes a look at a type of playground that’s…
It’s Fez time, PlayStation Owners. The indie hit Fez is out today for PS3, PS4 and Vita. Buy one copy and you’ll get all of ’em. All I can say is that I am pretty psyched to play this game on Vita.
One of the most dreaded things for me in childhood was pulling out teeth—but this kid? This kid is PUMPED to pull out his teeth. Dang. Malcolm Swan shares this video of a boy named Adam, who decided to get a little creative with pulling out teeth. In this case, he’s using a mini RC…
President Jimmy Carter has talked about his 1969 encounter with an unidentified flying object several times over the years. He’s never really been of the opinion that what he saw was an alien spacecraft, but maintains that he doesn’t quite know what it was, either. On the latest episode of The Brian Lehrer Show, Carter…

I don’t know whether to be excited or filled with dread about the tricks system coming to Trials Fusion Yes, the special moves look like they’ll add a lot to the game but they’ll also provide ample opportunities for embarrassment as players chase down Trials‘ particularly punishing brand of perfection.
