Will Japan Finally Adore This Pacific Rim Star?

Pacific Rim is Guillermo del Toro’s big love letter to Japanese monster movies like Godzilla and anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion. Too bad Japan isn’t exactly in love with Kikuchi.

Savant Is A “Little Summer Game Of Yore”. With Explosions.

On July 30, D-Pad Studios – they of “please hurry up and finish Owlboy” fame – will be releasing Savant for the PC, iOS and Android. They’re calling it a “Little summer game of yore”. It looks rad. I’m guessing the genre is “Rustic Elevator Death Ride”?

No More PS4 Preorders At GameStop, Guys, Sorry

GameStop has been taking PS4 preorders for a while now, with nary a mention of “limited stocks” or word on first-day guarantees.

Automatic NERF Sentry Gun Is Just About The Coolest Thing Ever Made

You’re about to see a working NERF sentry gun. A proper sentry gun, like one you’d see in a video game or movie, which can automatically track you then start shooting until you die (of amazement). It was built by Instructables user BrittLiv, and comprises a NERF Vulcan gun, a stand, a motor and a…

How To Save Your Save Games

After hardware and the games themselves, your save files are probably the most important things in video games. If you couldn’t save then resume your progress, well, most modern video games simply wouldn’t exist. So you’re going to want to look after them. These days, thanks to cloud saves and reliable hardware, that’s easier than…

Play Google’s Roswell Alien Doodle Before The Government Cover-Up

Sixty-six years ago today the Roswell, New Mexico Daily Record stunned the country with one of the finest examples of a sensationalist headline this side of… well, nevermind that. “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch In Roswell Region,” was a joke, a sham, a goof, and certainly not proof of aliens landing on U.S. soil…

Use Time Travel To Get A First Date Right

If you could travel through time and undo a botched first date, would you? That’s the question at the heart of Back to the First Date, one of many goofy games to come out of last weekend’s Molyjam game-jam. The game is based on the Peter Molyneux quote, “I wish I had some time machine…

Star Wars? In Kingdom Hearts III? Maybe!

Disney helps make Kingdom Hearts. Disney owns Star Wars. Seems like a match made in carbonite heaven, right?
