PSO2 Update Brings One Nasty Bug

Earlier today, Sega launched a new Phantasy Star Online 2 update for the PC version. New areas! New bosses! New quests! Sounds great, huh? It also brought new headaches. Online in Japan (here and here), people are reporting that unrelated data was erased after downloading the update. Some users reported that their free HDD space…

This Mod Is Basically A Great-Looking, Full-Blown Survival Horror Game

It’s called Underhell, and it’s calling itself a mod—though it’s closer to a full, stand-alone game. Specifically, an episodic survival horror-adventure game. Underhell is a Source mod, meaning anyone with a copy of the Source SDK Base 2007—obtained through Steam as a free download—can try it. The mod features large, non-linear levels, an original soundtrack,…

Animal Crossing Sure Looks… Different in Manga Form

This is the Animal Crossing you are used to. The latest issue of CoroCoro Comics certainly isn’t. Yes, this is just a gag (notice how the character in the bottom corner is totally shocked), but it’s still fun to see a totally different AC in an officially licensed manga. And no, the manga apparently won’t…

Let’s Compare the Old Wind Waker To The New One

Nintendo Japan has released two trailers showcasing some gameplay from the HD Wii U version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. One of them happens to be a nice little comparison video. Let’s take a look! The comparison vid, above, demonstrates how much more content the HD version, with its widescreen aspect ratio,…

Why Is There a Tattoo Stigma in Japan?

Public pools. Gyms. Resorts. It’s common to see “no tattoos allowed” signs at establishments like this. In Japan, there is certainly a stigma towards tattoos. But why? The easiest explanation, of course, is that Japanese gangsters (the yakuza) traditionally mark their bodies with tattoos. But not everyone who has tattoos in Japan is in organized…

Some Of The Best Cosplayers In The World Were At Dragon Con

This year’s Dragon Con was held over the weekend, and in attendance weren’t just some of the world’s finest cosplayers, but MLZ Studio, there to film it and give the world this great little video. I know, mileage on cosplay videos can vary, but this one’s good! No dramatic SWIRLS around the cosplayer, just them,…

Oh, The Many Ways You’ll Kill Zombies On Xbox One

Dead Rising 3 is one of the Xbox One’s best-looking launch games, but most of what I’d seen of it so far looked far too drab and “serious” for a series as delightfully weird as Dead Rising. That said, this new gameplay trailer has me much more interested. In two minutes, we get to watch…

I’d Buy This Google Games Console In A Heartbeat

There’s no such thing as a Google games console. The company has enough on its plate with Android as it is. But if it were to enter the market itself, well, it could do a lot worse than this effort. Designer Joseph Dumary (whose work we’ve featured previously) has mocked up this console called the…

The Dark Souls Art Book (Probably) Won’t Try And Kill You

Out in October, and published by the fanservice kings at Udon, Dark Souls: Design Works is a nice big hardcover book that collects a ton of concept and promotional art from the game. Most of its 128 pages are images, aside from a lengthy interview at the very end of the book, but hey, less…

The Xbox Infinity Could Have Been A Microsoft Fake-Out

Remember when people thought the Xbox One was called the Xbox Infinity? Turns out that actually was one of the names “in the running” at Microsoft for the console’s final branding. In an interview with Forbes, Albert Penello, Senior Director of Marketing and Planning for Xbox, said “The name Xbox Infinity was in the running,…

Hey, Someone’s Remaking Space Hulk (The Shooter)

Relic’s strategy games were good, but no game has quite felt as true to the Warhammer 40K vibe than 1993’s Space Hulk, a first-person shooter based on the board game of the same name. So it’s nice to hear that the game’s getting a remake. The new take is called Space Hulk: Deathwing (in the…

Report: Turns Out Some Versions Of Rayman Legends WERE Missing Stuff

When Ubisoft first announced that former Wii U exclusive Rayman Legends was going multiplatform, the publisher said that the Vita version “includes all of the original Rayman Legends content, as well as five exclusive maps”. That’s not entirely true. The five exclusive maps are there! But according to reports from IGN and NeoGAF users, it’s…

I Want To Play The Real-Life Video Game They Built For Capture

The production team behind CW’s reality game show Capture created a high-tech wilderness compound, built their own cellular network, designed proprietary hardware and custom Android software, all so twelve teams of two can hunt each other down in the middle of the woods every Tuesday night. I really want to play this game. Well, play…

The Jeff Lebowski Theory Of Burrito Consistency

At a crucial moment in The Big Lebowski, a guy pees on Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski’s rug. This is a great tragedy, an aggression that will not stand. Why? Because that rug really tied the room together Long have I been fond of the concept of The Dude’s Rug. It’s useful for me as a…

The Xbox One Is Now In “Full Production”, CPU Got A Little Faster

The launch of the next generation just got a little more real. Speaking at the Citi Global Technology Conference, and noted by GeekWire, Xbox’s Yusef Mehdi told attendees that Microsoft is now in “full production”. Which means right now, as you read this, somewhere in China, thousands of Xbox One consoles are rolling off the…

A Breaking Bad x Grand Theft Auto Crossover? Yes Please.

Alas, we won’t be playing as (retired) meth kingpins in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy art that mashes the two things up, right? Enter tosgos, who has been drawing up a few Breaking Bad X GTA crossover pieces over at deviantART. Up above we’ve got Walter White being…

Of Course Mega Man’s Spiritual Successor Already Has Cool Fan Art

Really, it never takes long for the internet to do four things with media on the internet: write fan fiction, draw rule 34, ship the characters, and yes, draw up fan art. Mighty No. 9, the spiritual successor to Mega Man that’s currently raising money on Kickstarter, is no exception. Tiny Cartridge brings to our…

Emojis: The New Best Way To Review Video Games

Sometimes limitations lead to good things. Sometimes we’re at our most expressive when we have to choose our words most carefully. Sometimes it’s a good idea to review games using only emojis. Emojis, the mostly-Apple-only emoticon collection now popular on iDevices and Mac OS, can be a goofy good time. There may be a limited…

Cripes, It’s A Glitched Out Donkey Kong From Hell

Now, as much as I adore Donkey Kong 64 as a cherished game from my childhood, I can’t really say the game has held up well over time. I’m not trying to replay it or anything…well, unless I could play a glitched out version of it, like Vinesauce does here. It would be too hilarious…
