In Japan, The Order: 1886 Is Penis and Nipple Free

While The Order: 1886 might not have been a very good game, it was equal opportunity with nudity. In one scene, for example, there’s an exposed breast and a penis. That is, unless you played the game in Japan. Warning: This article contains content some readers might find objectionable. Here you can watch the original…

Sega, Capcom, and Namco Bandai are teaming up again for another Project X Zone strategy RPG. Dubbed Project X Zone 2: Brave New World, you can look forward to characters from Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Yakuza, and Mega Man (among others) mixing it up. It’s slated for fall 2015 in Japan. No word on…

I Love Games That Use Licensed Pop Music

One of my most enduring game memories is getting into a car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and tearing down the road to Two Tribes on Wave 103. Pop is the perfect gaming accompaniment – why can’t we have more of it? Wave 103 is the greatest. It helps make Vice City into a…

This Family Really Makes Me Want To Play Farming Simulator 2015

I was idly contemplating what playing a Farming Simulator game for the first time would be like, because Farming Simulator 2015 is coming out on consoles in May. This family playing it together just made me super excited about it. I’ve written about how I’ve tried to get into Farming Simulator 15 before, when they…

A Drake-Themed Game Doesn’t Have To Be Terrible

I’ll admit it, I’ll admit it. I downloaded Runnin Through The 6, a free iOS endless runner made by Nico Uribe, because I’m a huge Drake fan. But it is rubbish. The reason I was so into the idea of a Drake game is that Drake’s a rapper who occupies a liminal space. He’s halfway…

Good Morning, Here Are The Terrible Raps From Trials Evolution

Yesterday I gave you the terrible yet awesome Mickey Rourke raps from Rogue Warrior to lull you through your Saturday. Sunday is a much worse deal. The intro raps from (very good) motorcycle balancer game Trials Evolution are a lot like if a drunk middle-aged beardy guy crashed your eighteenth birthday party thinking he was…

This Game About Being A Parent Is The Most Irritating Game I’ve Played

There aren’t any games that can give you the authentic experience of what it’s like to be a parent. But I am willing to reckon free game Jostle Parent is one of the best attempts at it. Jostle Parent is a little browser based game made by Pippin Barr, a developer whose work I am…

A Comic Where Joanna Dark And James Bond Meet

Me and my partner in crime Irene Koh (the artist on Batgirl Secret Origins #10 for DC) made a comic together about what would happen if the two heavyweights of the N64 Jo Dark and James Bond met. This game critique in comic form was originally published on my website, and funded by the subscribers…

League of Legends Players Stumped By Mysterious Duck

League of Legends forum-goers are perplexed by the elusiveness of this rare duck seen wandering about in the public beta environment of the game. It’s a time for duck huntin’. Forum-typer Walking Titan remarks on League gameplay and balance forums that a duck sighted in the PBE a while back has not returned to the…

New Indie Game Looks Like A Roguelike Doom

The PC gamer in me is being TWANGED by the look of this lovely first person shooter/Revolution Management hybrid Bunker Punks, probably because it appears to be a bit Doom II but in roguelike form. Developers Ninja Robot Dinosaur say that this shoot-and-loot will have randomly generated levels so no one game will be the…
