Japan’s Great Developers Discuss the PS4

I got a chance to handle the PS4 at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. The graphics definitely look prettier than I’ve seen on the PS3, but otherwise, it handles pretty much like it should. But I’m looking at it from the player’s side. That’s the output. What about the input? That’s where you have to…

The Sega Genesis Returns, But Not Like You’d Hope

Remember when Sega made home consoles? I sure do. I was a Sega guy all the way when others were playing Nintendo. And now, I guess I can own Sega Genesis speakers. Hooray?

“Net Head” Is the Best New Japanese Hairdo

Think you have a cool hairdo? Maybe, but it’s nowhere near as cool as “net head.” Recently, Japanese Twitter user Miya tweeted the above photo, writing, “The person two seats in front of me [has] an amazing hairdo.” The style doesn’t seem to have a name yet, but let’s call it “net head” Because the…

GTA V Physics Look Even More Stupid In Real Life

There should really be a QWOP mini-game in GTA V; sometimes the physics are just as hilarious. And if you ever wondered what these failed parkour attempts would look like in real life, well, thanks to Vine your wish is now granted. Luckily the footage doesn’t involve vehicles, only two empty trash cans. GTA V…

Soul Sacrifice Delta is Looking “Grimm”

Soul Sacrifice, the macabre save-or-sacrifice game from Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune, is getting an updated incarnation next year with Soul Sacrifice Delta. The game is getting new creatures, new magic, and interestingly enough, a “Grimm” new alignment in the good/evil spectrum.

Let’s Face It: GTA V Is Basically Breaking Bad

I didn’t know there was a bad side to watching Breaking Bad, yet here’s Late Night’s Jimmy Fallon weighing in with his pros and cons. Los Santos County and Trevor’s little business in GTA V already have a lot in common with AMC’s drama, but this will end all doubts. The biggest con though—if there’s…

Don’t Let Your Kids Pee in Apple Stores

I have children—a whole bunch of them. And I can more than sympathize when parents have to deal with them as they cry, scream, and have to go to the bathroom. That being said, the Apple Store is not a toilet, so don’t let you kids tinkle on the showroom floor. The following photo was…

EA Promo Results In Over Two Minutes Of Excruciating Agony

I guess…someone at EA Australia signed off on this? Thinking this was a…good thing? It’s a shame. FIFA usually has some of the best commercials in gaming. Warning: this clip is very Australian. Perhaps, in parts, a little too Australian.

LEGO Would Never Make Something This Violent

Danish (of course) designer Jonathan Trier has an idea. He wants to see a LEGO series with a more mature slant. A more Danish slant. And so we get…LEGO Hitman. It’ll never happen, of course, the franchise is just way too violent. So we will look at Trier’s images (of both a game and LEGO…

What Happens When A Game Runs Out Of Marketing Money

Mobile puzzler Dragon Academy didn’t have millions to spend on cinematic trailers and E3 booths. Indeed, it ended up with a marketing budget of…$11.13. What can you get for $11.13? Some stupid Vine videos, that’s what. And…exposure on an international video games website. Bargain. But seriously, this is as cute as it is effective. Dragon…

Robot Factories Are Where Shiny Gun Arms Are Made

Stefano Tsai works at Creative Assembly as a 3D artist. Not on the Total War games, though, he’s currently chipping away at the studio’s mythical Alien franchise game. You won’t find any images of that here, obviously. What you will find are a number of breathtakingly “real” 3D images. Seriously, corridor cross-sections? It’s my secret…
