Xbox One To Drop In China This September

The Xbox One will finally be heading into China later this year. Microsoft’s home console, the first console officially announced for the Chinese market, will launch sometime this September. Microsoft will launch in China with the help of domestic internet TV company BesTV. Last year, Microsoft announced a joint venture with Shanghai based BesTV in…

Titanfall Looks Quite Pretty Without Giant Robots Or People

This remix of the Titanfall menu music does a good job working with some music that’s already pretty great (it takes a lot longer to get annoying than most other background tracks), but it’s the accompanying video that’s got my attention. It’s just slow, arcing shots of the stuff you’re never paying attention to while…

Never Underestimate What Can Be Cosplayed

Think a game needs to have humanoid shapes or faces to generate fun cosplay? Look at this awesome Threes couple and think again. According to Threes co-creator Asher Vollmer, this looks like the first instance of cosplay inspired by his hit numerical puzzle game. If cosplay’s anything like real life, these two folks will be…

The Xbox One Dashboard, Beautified

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could customize the Xbox One with this much ease? Unfortunately, this video mock-up byPrimeGhost Gaming isn’t real—it’s just a concept.

Watch An Hour Of State of Decay‘s Upcoming Expansion

Today Microsoft streamed an hour of State of Decay‘s military-themed Lifeline expansion running on Xbox 360. I love State of Decay and think the expansion sounds cool, so I’ll be playing this on PC as soon as it comes out. (Which happens in June.)

Final Fantasy XIV‘s Coolest Feature Fits In Your Hands

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a lovely game, but few would call it “innovative.” I’ve been playing the game on both PS4 and PC for the past several weeks and have been having a blast. But even a relative MMO lightweight like me can tell that the game isn’t breaking much new ground.…

Video Game About Masturbating Is A Lot Less Fun Than It Sounds

Video games have a lot in common with porn. That’s not meant as a criticism—some of the best minds in the business have compared the two as a way to advocate on behalf of the creative merits of both. But here’s the thing: once you accept that video games are often structurally similar to porn,…
