Supergirl Added To Lego Dimensions In The Worst Way

Supergirl is coming to Lego Dimensions late next month, but she’s not coming easy.

Trolling Gamescom With “Half-Life: 3”

A “Half-Life: 3″ poster has been spotted at Gamescom. But don’t get excited just yet! This isn’t for Valve’s long overdue sequel. It’s for some world-class trolling. Spotted by Aoife Wilson at Eurogamer and Keza MacDonald at Kotaku UK, the poster doesn’t actually read “Half-Life 3,” but rather, “Half-Life: 3″ and under that in smaller…

The Concept Art Behind Game Of Thrones: Season 6

Karakter, a German studio who have worked on games like Black Ops III, the lastKillzone and Ryse, also got to once again help out on Game of Thrones’ sixth season.

Titanfall 2‘s Beta Is Skipping PC

It’s a tradition as old as… well, probably a few years, anyway. A game’s beta drops, and PC players crack it open in hopes of suckling out sweet morsels of information. Respawn’s seen it happen, and they’ve decided it’s just not worth the risk with Titanfall 2. Betas, while limited in content and scope, invariably…
