Wondering why EA’s new Netflix-like Access program is on Xbox One and not PlayStation 4?

Call Of Duty Bummer: They Opted Not To Have Teleportation Grenades

The new Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, futuristic-looking as it is, will not have teleportation grenades. So it was reported in a VentureBeat profileof CoD:AW studio Sledgehammer Games.

​For One Night, The Last Of Us Was A Musical

Tonight’s stage performance of The Last of Us: One Night Live was weird, ramshackle, funny, and kinda unlike any video-game event I’ve seen. The best part, easily, was the musical number. Most of us have already seen this funny musical “alternate ending” to the game, which was initially thrown together by the cast on the…

​Should You Get The Last of Us Again On PS4?

The Last of Us came out on the PlayStation 3 last year. It was very, very good. This week, a new and improved version of the game will come out for the PlayStation 4. But can a game that was already so good really be “improved” all that much? Tomorrow, The Last of Us: Remastered…

What We Want Changed After Destiny’s Beta

As betas go you can’t argue with Destiny’s success.

Sony Is Selling the PS Vita with a Dick Joke

As part of a PS Vita summer campaign, Sony has released a new Japanese ad on YouTube that can be described as ballsy. That, or a cheap sight gag. In the spot, schoolkids are getting changed for their summer swimming lessons, and after one kid drops his towel, another kid’s jaw drops and he says,…
