LucidSound LS30 Wireless Gaming Headset Review: Oddly Elegant

Gaming headsets don’t generally do elegant. They do bright and flashy, looking either as loud as they sound or like something out of a science fiction movie. LucidSound’s LS30 wireless gaming headset does elegant with a little bit of innovative on the side. LucidSound is a new name in gaming audio, but the folks behind…

Eli Roth Made A Dark Souls III Cartoon

Yes, that Eli Roth. Seems the guy is enough of a Dark Souls fan to convince Namco to let him direct an original short animated film/trailer. I’m not so sure the art style quite fits, but the tone sure checks out. The clip was made by animation studio 6 Point Harness

A Lot Of People Don’t Really Know When Their Oculus Rift Is Coming [Updates]

After years of anticipation and hype, the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset launched on Monday. It’s pretty damn cool!

Out This Week, A Comic Book Where A Black Street Dude and A White Racist Get Superpowers

People hate Superman because he’s an alien. The X-Men get giant robots sicced on them because they’re mutants. Racial prejudice has informed the subtext of loads of storylines in superhero comics. But Power Lines moves it to the foreground, giving people who hate each other powers and abilities beyond those of mortal men. Out this…

Players Feeling Abandoned After Strategy Game RUSE Removed From Steam

Remember RUSE? It was a Ubisoft-published strategy game about espionage and subterfuge that came out in 2010. Critical consensus pegged it as decent, but not amazing. Despite that, it’s maintained a consistent, occasionally growing Steam player base for six years. Unfortunately, it appears that admittedly itsy bitsy slice of the player pie (a few hundred…

Bungie just showed off some really nice-looking new armor sets and some other little additions coming next month to Destiny, a sci-fi shooter video game whose biggest fan picked the wrong week to go on vacation.

We Had A Good Run Blade & Soul, But I’m Out

After my first month in NCsoft’s martial arts MMO Blade & Soul I hit a wall. I wasn’t annoyed or frustrated. In fact up to that point I’d been enjoying myself immensely. I was satisfied with what I had played, and felt no need to continue. That’s odd, right? The point of a massively multiplayer…

Apparently Big Boss Recorded A Country Album

I know Kojima leaving Konami is tough, Snake, but it’s not your fault. Kiefer Sutherland, aka the actor who replaced David Hayter in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, released a music video for an upcoming country-tinged album. The single, Not Enough Whiskey, is pretty…on the nose. In the video, Sutherland drinks whiskey. It’s…

Tree Of Savior Is Lucky It’s Pretty

Recently launched in Founder’s Access, Tree of Savior is an anime style massively multiplayer action role-playing game whose video capture hot key is the same as Steam’s screenshot key. The accidental video that resulted was too lovely to trash. Tree of Savior’s visual flair grabbed me while I was flipping through upcoming Steam releases a…

Guy Finds Every Terminal In Fallout 4 In Attempt To Uncover Last Secret

Fallout 4 has a ridiculous number of terminals, most of which the average player will never see. One man, however, has actually spent over 25 hours poring through every computer in Fallout 4. It’s madness. Why would anybody do such a thing? Well, you may recall that last month, Fallout 4’s director, Todd Howard, said…
