The video game trailer is an interesting phenomenon. It is, at its core, a marketing device—a series of sounds and images, carefully arranged to make you want to buy something. But even the most cynical of gamers would have to admit that trailers can be works of art in their own right. Even after the…
Yes, the Galactic Empire, the one from the movies, was pretty bad. They dressed liked nazis, were super racist and sexist, blew up planets, etc. but it could have been worse. And thousands of years earlier, it was. The Sith Empire of Star Wars: The Old Republic is a lot like the Empire we know…
Some things are so bad they’re good—and the ability to make promotional videos of yourself and your Pokemon in X & Y definitely fits that bill. Basically, the way Trainer PR videos work is, players can visit a “PR Video Studio” in Lumiose City, a location in X & Y. From there, players can choose…
Look, I’m a Gambit hater. The weird headgear, the terribly written accent, the douchey pick-up artist vibe… none of it is worth putting up with for the nominally useful powers dude brings to the X-Men. Never liked him. So it is with great relish that I present to you Charles Xavier giving Remy LeBeau the…
Anticipation is building, and the release date is mere weeks away. There’s no denying that a significant chunk of the gaming internet is awfully excited about the launch of the PlayStation 4. I recently had a chance to sit down with the console’s big exclusive games and, without taking anything away from the console itself,…
Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD is coming in January 2014. More specifically, January 14 on PSN, January 15 on PC and “in early 2014” for XBLA. Read our impressions here
Avatar Control: here’s a smart breakdown by PBS Idea Channel of the difference between controlling and ‘being’ our avatars in games—which is particularly interesting to talk about in light of, say, GTA V‘s infamous torture section.

Amazon has a selection of excellent PC digital game deals this week, headlines by everything Max Payne for only 15 bucks. If you don’t already have The Walking Dead’s 400 Days DLC, it’s a measly dollar today, and as an added bonus, several of these deals are also Mac compatible. Max Payne 1 + 2…
The people who make Super Mario 3D World want you to know that it’s pretty great. Well, of course they do. They created it. Their job is to get us playing and enjoying it. Their thoughts on the latest Mario game are about as objective as a soccer mom’s evaluation of her kid’s athletic performance.…
What do you do when the beloved video game studio you worked at gets closed down? You get to work on that side-scrolling ancient Rome strategy game you’ve always wanted to do. And not just any side-scrolling ancient Rome strategy game. Super Roman Conquest has a pretty clever twist that’ll change how you look at…
This is My Little Baby 3D. It came out for the 3DS today. It’s… well… let’s just say it’s a work of art. The press release, via the developers at Treva Entertainment, might be as creepy as the photos: Hamburg, 24th October 2013 – In “My Little Baby 3D” players find themselves lovingly caring for…
Enter The Dominatrix was originally announced for Saints Row The Third, then turned into a full sequel, now it’s DLC again. I think Volition found the perfect way to include their crazy story that began as an April Fool’s joke. If you’re a fan of DVD extra features and deleted scenes (and also Saints Row),…

Looking at the last Tomb Raider game, PigBristles has a sharp post about how overusing dramatic devices in a game robs them of their power writes up a playthrough of the…
A shout. “Hold it!” The camera cuts between stunned faces as everyone waits, sweating, wondering what sort of interjection will shake things up next. This happens so often, you’d think they would be used to it by now. But no. Shock. Disbelief. Someone barges into the courtroom—someone new, someone unexpected. Maybe someone shouts a new…
