Last Year’s Portable Batman Hits Consoles and PC in April

Two Batman games came out last year. The big console version, Batman: Arkham Origins, came from a new development studio. That game’s overshadowed, on-the-go semi-sequel Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate came from Armature, a collective of creators who helped make the great Metroid Prime games.

If Trevor From GTA V Were Using Facebook (Thank God He’s Not)

The fine YouTubers at GTA Series Videos created a highlight video on Trevor Philips’ life in the style of Facebook’s 10th anniversary “Look Back” compilation.

Trevor’s Voice Actor From GTA V Sure Looks Scary On TV

Miss GTA V‘s Trevor yet? Well, the character’s voice actor, Steven Ogg, had a guest appearance last night in a new show called Broad City. He played a psycho locksmith, and while it’s not as mental as Trevor’s usual antics (he’d have set the door on fire), it’s hard not to see the similarities. It’s…

No Army Can Stop The Battlefield 4 Train

Trains are just unstoppable these days. Just think about Grand Theft Auto V, or in this case, Golmud Railway in Battlefield 4. You can line up anything in front of them, they won’t do anything but break the laws of physics. I love how some of the players are just parachuting onto the moving train,…

​He Made Halo‘s Energy Sword, and It Looks Really Awkward to Use

Master Chief makes it look easy, doesn’t he? But, it turns out that wielding the famous bladed Covenant weapon from the Xbox sci-fi FPS isn’t all that graceful. Watch yourself, dude.

If Dark Souls Were a 16-Bit Platformer

Artist Dave Rapoza took Dark Souls and reimagined it as a 2D platformer from the 16-bit era, and man I can already see that health bar dropping like a fly.
