UncategorizedSTALKER Restored To Its Former Glory
It’s been over a decade since STALKER was first shown off. The incredible open world we were first teased in 2002, however, wasn’t exactly the game we got five years later. It didn’t look as good, and didn’t feature as much content. It was still an amazing game, yeah, but imagine how much better it…

Watch A Guy Play Through Mario 64 Blindfolded
Twitch streamers sure know how to pull cool stunts. Case in point: there is a channel where a speedrunner attempts to play through Mario 64…without being able to see what’s going on on the screen. 62bitgaming is hoping to get through the classic Mario title using his vast knowledge of the game—but he’ll also make…

If Sega Won’t Do It, These Guys Will
When a game describes itself as an “open world futuristic freerun / parkour game inspired by great games like Jet Set Radio and Mirror’s Edge”, it has my attention. Hover : Revolt Of Gamers might have a stupid name, but everything else about it looks great, from the eye-smashing art style and future skating (the Jet…

A Married Couple Who Has Sex And Makes Games About It
The page is called TMI. We were bound to tackle sex eventually.

Between the whistles and the snaps…

UncategorizedSailor Moon’s Got A New Look
The upcoming Sailor Moon reboot, which debuts on July 5th, features redesigns of all our favorite Sailor Scouts. The changes aren’t too dramatic or anything, judging from the art shared by Crunchy Roll. But everyone certainly looks different from the designs in the original anime. Most notably, all the Sailor Scouts have impossibly long legs.…

CultureNo Wonder Infamous: Second Son Makes Me So Hungry
Seattle is a great city for foodies, even if those foodies are super-powered fugitives from corrupt justice. The fake food-obsessed Paul Yan of Enjoy the Bits captured scenes of Infamous: Second Son at its tastiest. Not only has Paul wandered the streets of digital Seattle snapping picture of food, he’s also cataloged the game’s restaurants,…

UncategorizedEven When They’re Useless, Titans In Titanfall Are The Best
Aww. Look at the auto-Titans trying their best to protect their pilot—even if it means destroying themselves in the process. It’s the result of lackluster artificial intelligence. But it’s also kind of endearing, don’t you think? They’re trying their best! DefendTheHouse is back with another “Mythbuster” episode, and in this one, they test out what…

UncategorizedSorry, Rabbits, This Strategy Game Says You Have To Die
For fantasy buffs of a certain age, there’s a series of books dearer to our hearts than Lord of the Rings or even—dare I say it—Harry Potter. I’m talking about Redwall, the kid-friendly epic that reads like Games of Thrones with furry little animals instead of gratuitous raunchy sex. Unlike those other series, however, Redwall…

The Argument That Dark Souls II Is Terrible
Most people agree that Dark Souls II is pretty good. There are some open questions about whether it improves upon its predecessor, or whether it’s as good as was expected, but for the most part: Pretty darn good. That’s most people. Some don’t agree. One notable dissenter is Michael Thomsen, who, writing for Forbes, posits…

UncategorizedI Played 45 Minutes Of Destiny, And It Was Kind Of Boring
Earlier this month, I got a chance to fly up to Washington and try Bungie’s upcoming sci-fi shooter, Destiny. Walking through the Bellevue office for the first time, I’m struck by all the accolades lining the walls near the reception area. Here, a giant, life-sized statue of Master Chief stands tall, casting a shadow. Bungie…

Wow, Pac-Man Sure Is A Lot More Complicated Than I Remember
Oh wait, this isn’t Pac-Man at all, just an overly-complex free-to-play Puzzle & Dragons clone called Pac-Man Monsters, now available on Google Play and iOS.
