Well, this didn’t end like I thought it would. And by that I mean, I was hoping to actually get a look at Keith David. Ah well.
Here’s the brief for Quadrilateral Cowboy, an upcoming PC game by Blendo Games: When you have a top-of-the-line hacking deck armed with a 56.6k modem and a staggering 256k RAM, it means just one thing: you answer only to the highest bidder. The video above shows… well, I’m more interested than I was after reading…
The game itself may be dividing critics, but I’d hope there’s one thing we can all agree on, and that’s the fact that before the game’s frozen wastelands could be played, they first had to be drawn by some very talented people. We’ve featured Patrick’s work here before, but now that Dead Space 3 is…
There have few more puzzling game releases in the last decade than Bullet Run, a game published by Sony Online Entertainment that looked so generic and commercially pointless that you wondered how it was ever green-lit in the first place. Surprising absolutely nobody, then, aside from maybe those who had forgotten the game even existed,…
Let’s close our eyes and dream that, after post-apocalyptic waterworlds, train rides and gritty cowboy tales, Nintendo gets even braver and pushes the Legend of Zelda series into the future. Hoverboards, Robopona, the Master LightSword, the works. What could Link and Zelda look like? Well, they could look a lot worse than these ideas by…
Look, I get it, the character design for Street Fighter’s Cammy traditionally calls for a rather revealing lower section. But accuracy isn’t everything in cosplay. Sometimes what looks good on a screen looks… wrong in the flesh, and while authentic Cammy cosplay has its fans, I’ve always found it to be a bit much This…

I’m a big fan of Metronomes. They’re the copy-editors of musical performance: they keep you honest. When my sister sent me this video of French beatboxer Alem playing along with a metronome, I thought, “Okay.” Then, he kicked up the tempo a notch and I thought, “Wow.” Then, he kicked it up another notch, and…
You may remember the Hitman movie. It only came out in 2007. That’s enough time to have passed for Hollywood to have decided it’s time for another one, and this time, according to Deadline, it’s going to be a reboot. Of a so-so movie. Based on a franchise that was popular in 2007, but which…
We know, for the most part, what’s inside the PlayStation 4. We even know what the controller is going to be like.

Some might be tourists. Some…
I think we’ve all been there: you’re young, you’re bored, you decide to write some poetry about your favorite video game. Actress/writer/musician/etc. Felicia Day sure seems to have been there, and she’s gone ahead and shared some of her 12-year-old self’s video-game poetry. It’s called “Avatar Isle,” and it’s a tribute to the Ultima series.…
If you buy the new Sly Cooper for PS3, you supposedly get the Vita version for free. It’s not working now. Sony’s on it.
Long before LittleBigPlanet became a household name among gamers, no one knew exactly what to make of Sackboy and his burlap buddies. In fact, you needn’t look further than its earliest previews to discover the only thing anyone could really agree on is that is was as adorable as it was ambiguous. Tearaway, developer Media…
If you’re interested in the new 3DS strategy game Fire Emblem: Awakening, you’ve probably heard two things about it: first, that if a character dies in battle, they’re gone for good. Second, that characters can fall in love and marry one another. In other words, the two constants in Fire Emblem: Awakening are marriage and…

We already knew that the newly minted Star Wars-owners at Disney are planning a new trilogy, the first film of which will be directed by nerd-king J.J.
