THIS GAME IS BROKEN. YOU NERFED IT. THE NEW SERVICE SUCKS. I HATE THIS NEW THING. Listen to “fans” of games on the internet and a lot of the time that’s what you’ll hear. Loud, indignant complaints. Sometimes, sure, they’ll have a point. But other times? They’re making noise. Being assholes. And aren’t always speaking…

Kite is infamous. The hyper-violent 1998 anime features explicit sex scenes, explicit violence and explicit human brutality. And now, according to sources connected with the project, it’s going to be a “full-on female actioner” with “gritty realistic action”.

Maybe that’s a little harsh. Battlefield‘s defibrillators only look stupid. But everyone knows that, deep down, they’re actually deadly: Fear the man who enters the modern battlefield armed with naught but two hospital paddles.

Rainie Yang could not. At a recent press conference in Taiwan, Sony dated the PS Vita for the region, giving it a Dec. 23…
Charming RPG Bastion had some gorgeous visuals, yeah, but it’s going to be remembered more for its novel use of narration than anything else.

This is Briana McIvor, one of the hosts of video game TV show Electric Playground. She’s trying to pull a fake sword from a fake stone. Who could resist? The sword is a big Zelda promotional prop intended to hype the November release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Hey, it worked! You can…
What you’ve got to love about Suda51 is the way his avid embrace of junk culture and grindhouse aesthetic informs everything he does.
