Watch as Gundam Wing and Gundam SEED Duke It Out

One of my favorite features in Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost is the ability to watch replays of other players’ matches. Thus you can see some of the best players in action and then better your own play-style. Moreover, it’s a golden opportunity to see some of your dream fights; like say, Gundam Wing vs…

Check Out Kirby‘s Own Take on Super Smash Bros.

The newest Kirby game, Kirby Triple Star Deluxe came out on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan earlier this month, and its story mode is only the tip of the iceberg in what it has to offer. There are tons of additions to Kirby’s classic gameplay. We’ve already looked at Kirby’s new copy abilities, but that’s…

Nothing Says Happy Chinese New Year Like A Racist Billboard

As part of a shopping promotion, Bangkok shopping mall Central Festival unveiled billboards and ads to mark the Chinese New Year. The ad featured a white woman pulling one of her eyes. The text read, “Good to be Chinese.” Understandably, people got upset. “I thought this was a joke,” wrote one Facebook user, while another…

To Explore Space, You’re Going To Need A Fancy Scanner

Limit Theory is an indie space game promising “an infinite number of star systems to explore”. It’s also got one hell of a cool scanner. OK, so that might sound like a strange thing to focus on, but take a look at it! Start at around 8:15. Scanners in games are a weird fetish of…

Drone Warfare Might Be Controversial, But It Sure Is Pretty

Hunting Anubis is a flight combat game, but one that looks quite unique. Imagine Rez snapped off its rails and stripped of its colour and you’re getting close.

Why People Play StarCraft

A ton of people played StarCraft II when it was first released, then moved on. To keep playing it, over and over, means you’re getting more out of it than just seeing Jim Raynor clomp around for a few hours. If you’re standing on the outside and ever wondered just what that is, this video…

Not Everyone’s A Killer In DayZ. Some Folks Are Just Weird.

You tend to only hear about the assholes in DayZ, but really, for every gun-toting lunatic you encounter, you run into ten others whose behaviour ranges from the friendly to the absurd. The Tumblr hey are you cool does a great job of documenting this. It’s Chris Livingston’s account of the people he meets while…

Dark Souls. Dark Souls? Dark Souls! Dead End Thrills is still at it, pulling down some dramatic new shots of Dark Souls, looking great on PC. Head over there for more.

Drones Are Mapping The Entire Planet (For A Video Game)

ReROLL isn’t like most survival games. For one, it uses drones—the machines map out the games’ world using real-world map data. Which is to say, the open world you’ll be exploring in-game is some of the terrain you’ll find in the real world. Beyond that, the weather and temperature are pulled from the real world…

Team Fortress 2‘s Soldier Would Be A Terrible Attorney

Team Fortress characters in Ace Attorney‘s courtroom sure is one of the weirder Gmod mashups. YouTuber TFHK’s video has almost all the Team Fortress 2 classes represented and yet it still somehow makes sense, even though it’s just for laughs. Here’s the full clip. The Heavy makes a really good judge by the way. Soldier:…
