Pokémon Keyboard Won’t Catch All Your Typos

You might think this Pokemon keyboard design, which swaps out the letters with tiny pictures of Pokemon, is the least practical keyboard ever made.

Call Of Duty’s Nigeria Has More Worries Than Bullets

Call of Duty gets a lot of stick – some of it deserved – for being “stupid”, but here’s a neat little touch I found in Advanced Warfare’s singleplayer campaign that’s worth a closer look.

Tim Schafer Dreams Of An Open-World Grim Fandango Sequel

A sequel to Tim Schafer and co’s classic skeleton noir LucasArts adventure, Grim Fandango? Be still, my non-beating heart. This is only an idea that’s been kicking around in Schafer’s skull for a while, but it’s an exciting one nonetheless. And it’s inspired by Grand Theft Auto, of all things. I recently interviewed Tim Schafer…

Not Even Car Horns Can Ruin Game Of Thrones‘ Intro Music

You thought the Grand Theft Auto car horn orchestra’s take on classic horror movieHalloween was good? You know nothing. Yeah, it’s kind of a cliche to play the Game of Thrones theme on… anything at this point, but I’ll make an exception for cars and guns singing together in glorious harmony. No, it doesn’t have…

Dawngate, EA’s attempt at snatching the MOBA crown from League of Legends and DOTA 2, is exiting this world as quietly as it entered. Today EA abruptly announced that the game is shutting down in 90 days.

What A ‘Yak Farm Mission’ Says About Gaming In 2014

I responded to last week’s news about a new pre-order-“exclusive” yak-related mission for Far Cry 4 with a snort. Was this a joke? Was this what gamers are supposed to get excited about these days? So many questions. It’s not a joke. And maybe it’s not even a big deal. Or maybe it’s 2014 pre-order…

​One of Dark Souls‘ Toughest Boss Fights, Beaten with a Drum Controller

First, one intrepid player tackled Dark Souls with a Rock Band guitar controller. Now the same guy is taking the notoriously difficult title on with a drum set from the rhythm game. AKA “It’s got a good beat and you can die to it.” Seriously, though: this fight looks a lot harder when you’re pounding…
