A Game Where You Don’t Play As Someone. You Play As Everyone.

sonder is a sci-fi third-person action adventure game. So far so expected, but it has a neat twist: you’re not playing as a single character. Instead, while the narrative plays out, you’re free – and encouraged – to switch between characters and play the role of anyone in the game. The idea being that while…

Metal Gear Solid V Just Got Real

​What might a Minecraft movie look like?

Looks like Mojang is working with Warner Bros. on a Minecraft movie. An actual finished film may or may not eventually materialize, but either way, you can’t help but wonder: What might a full-length, big-budget Minecraft movie look like? It’s not exactly a game that has an obvious cinematic counterpart, after all. The world of…

​Forget That New Rambo Video Game. Play This One Instead.

There was a Rambo game that came out recently. The quality of the title looks dubious, at best. Rambo: Last Blood—a new indie game featuring Sylvester Stallone’s iconic, burnt-out vet—is probably a whole lot better. I can’t describe much of what happens in Last Blood without spoiling it so let’s just say that it involves…

Take, for example, this excellent noire “walkabout series” by gaming’s best screenshot artist, Dead End Thrills. The game looks gorgeous like this, no? At first glance, some of these excellent…

Warner Bros Is Working On A Minecraft Movie

Warner Bros. is turning Minecraft into a movie, creator Markus Persson said today on Twitter. The tweet speaks for itself: This might explain why Persson took action against the fanmade Minecraft film.

​No, Staring At A Screen Won’t Ruin Your Eyes

“TV will ruin your eyes!” they warned us, “Stop staring at a screen!” Shows what those suckers know, because they’re wrong. Watch as Discovery News breaks down the history of an urban legend that just won’t die — that staring at TV will ruin your eyes. Sure, eye strain is real and you should still…

Republican Tax Plan Would Screw “Violent Video Game” Companies

Tax credits are the kinds of things that most video game lovers wouldn’t think about when considering where their favorite releases come from. But the publishers and developers that distribute and create games depend on them when figuring out the financials of their particular businesses. Now, a Republican tax proposal would deny that relief from…

When Teddy Bears Play Football, They Don’t Tackle, They Hug.

Football isn’t for everyone. But you know what is for everyone? Hugs. Hugby is a two-player android game where two teams of teddy bears play a game of football. Each player draws routes for their bears to run, then the two teams run their plays. If two bears touch, they hug instead of tackle. Take…
