Cosplay So Good They Made A Movie For It

I’m not sure what’s more impressive about this RoboCop cosplay. That it moves so well, that it looks so good, that this fan recreation of a movie scene is so perfect or that the outfit is made out of cardboard YouTuber Comicbookgirl19 made this costume for this year’s Dragon-Con and Comic-Con, but to really show…

It Is Awfully Difficult To Catch A Boat With A Helicopter In GTA V

As you can see in this video from Rooster Teeth, it is actually quite difficult to catch a ramping boat with a helicopter in GTA V. Which, naturally, makes it all the more satisfying when you finally do. (Skip toward the end to get to the good part.)

Frute Brute: The Snacktaku Monster Cereals Review Spooktacular

A man cursed with the form of a wolf, or a feral creature desperately attempting to shake of its vestigial ties to humanity? Whatever the balance of beast and boy in cherry-flavored Frute Brute be, both sides felt the sting of betrayal. Both have returned for their revenge. Imagine yourself lost hound, wandering a world…

Indie Dev Removing Racially Charged Gag From Game After Complaints

Most people seem to really like the indie PC sensation The Stanley Parable, but not everyone enjoys one of the jokes in the game. Specifically, a jokey 50s-style PSA video that shows a black child being given cigarettes and set on fire by a white guy. In response to a couple player complaints, The Stanley…

We Might Be Getting A Luigi-Themed 2DS [Update: It’s Fan-Made]

It’s the year of Luigi, and so if there was ever a time to launch a Luigi 2DS, it would be now, right? Well, it seems there might be a Luigi 2DS in our future, based on these pictures of what seems to be an unannounced 2DS that a tipster sent in. [Update, 10/26] This…

There’s a rumour that the next Call of Duty runs at 1080p on PS4 and 720p on Xbox One. For those who care, we’re looking into it with Activision, and will get back to you if we hear back.

The sequel to Candy Box—the surreal, text-based flash game that grabbed attention back in the spring—will release tomorrow morning. Completing Candy Box 2 will give players “access to a special area featuring quests written by the players.” More details here.

Watch Dogs and AC IV’s exclusive PS3/PS4 content will be exclusive for six months. As shown in Sony’s new PS4 sizzle reel, PS3 and PS4 players will have first dibs on those hour-long extra missions for AC IV and Watch Dogs for half a year, then everyone else will likely get to play. Not a…

All Safety Posters Should Star Snake Plissken

First aid posters are a common sight in New York City restaurants. Occasionally you get really tastefully designed posters (like this one by Alex Holden), but they rarely knock your socks off. Today was an exception. I spotted the poster below at Gimme! Coffee on Mott street in New York. It was drawn by artist…

There’s A Duck Dynasty Mobile Game. It’s Redneck WarioWare.

Shooting squirrels, blowing stuff up, and trying not to eat raccoon droppings — it’s funny how much real life can be like a video game, ain’t it? I have not seen a single episode of the hit reality show Duck Dynasty. All I know is the mobile game tie-in isn’t all that bad, and the…

Gamers Shrug as Next-Generation Sports Get Last-Gen Hype

Eight years ago I convinced myself I needed a new video gaming experience. I’d been dragging a canvas deck chair into the living room, sitting three feet from the screen just so I could make out the receivers from defensive backs in Madden, or tell a curveball from a fastball in MVP Baseball. I finally…

Dang, First-Person Mountain Biking Looks Scary

Ever wonder what it looks like to pull awesome stunts (like backflips!) on your bike while navigating treacherous terrain? If you were actually there, I mean—not if you were playing a game like Trials or something. Well, thanks to Kelly McGarry, you can see what it’s like. And god, does mountain biking like this seem…

The Best Way To Handle Mobile Shooter Movement? Get Rid Of It.

Developers have spent years trying to develop sensible touchscreen controls for first and third-person shooters that aren’t just virtual sticks. A tribute to the great light gun games of old, Lawless just does away with movement altogether, and it looks fantastic. Much more than a shooting gallery, Lawless is a grand criminal venture, set in…
