I’m Most Excited About A Nintendo Game Nobody Has Heard Of

I don’t mean that in a hipster sense. I mean it in a sense that this is a game Nintendo hasn’t marketed as strongly as perhaps it could have. At least to me This isn’t a Zelda game. Isn’t a Mario game. There’s no Yoshi, no Luigi, no Donkey Kong. Yet unless you’re from Japan…

7680×1440 Titanfall Screens Are Just Being Silly

So, that big expensive rig the PC gamer team put together is getting some use. They’ve posted some screenshotsof the Titanfall beta running on the PC, and those who think 1920×1080 is a big resolution to play games at, haha, well. The 7680×1440 screens (taken at max settings) are what happens when laugh maniacally at…

​Bobby Knight Turns Up In The Strangest Places

I grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, and Bobby Knight has been a small part of my life for as long as I can remember. I don’t think about the guy much any more, but every now and then, the red-sweatered shouter turns up in an unexpected place. That said, he has perhaps never turned up…

Here are two pieces from CG artist Gabriele Maiocoo, showing us what a badass, more grown up Link would look like. He didn’t skip leg day that’s for sure.

And then he pulled out his dolphin cannon. Shooters just got weird. I can’t think of a more appropriate tagline for Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. The game is out later this month for Xbox One, 360 and PC. I’m sow excited.
