Pokemon Trainer Goes Through Entire Elite Four With Just A Magikarp

It’s not uncommon to find playthroughs where a player decides to go through an entire game of Pokemon with something silly, like Bidoof. But Magikarp, a fish Pokemon that’s largely taken as the most useless Pokemon ever? That’s a whole other level of insanity. Still, it can be done. This (sometimes sped-up) video shows Meikachuchu…

Ittle Dew Is A Zelda-Style Game That Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously

Poking around on the Ouya today, I was lucky enough to find Ittle Dew, and it had me laughing within five minutes. This is a fun adventure game with a great sense of humor, but it also has a female protagonist that likes to beat people up and take their loot. Watch the video above…

Mad Max’s First Gameplay Trailer Looks Hopeless, in a Good Way

The thing about the Mad Max movies is that it looks like somebody already tried to save the world and failed at it. And what we see are the terrible remains. The newest trailer for Avalanche Studios’ Mad Max puts its headbutting, car-combat action smack dab in the middle of that world. Thank goodness. Granted,…
