Not only is The LEGO Movie out in theaters today, The LEGO Movie Video Game is out in stores as well. Can the game of the film be as good as the film of the toys? I don’t know, man. My copy just got here. If all else fails, the game comes with a $7.50…

Sure, the difference between playing the PC version of a game on minimum and maximum settings is a big one. It’s supposed to be.

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.

The PS3 Game You Have To Play (But Probably Didn’t)

Could you imagine owning a PS2 and never having played Shadow of the Colossus? Or a GTA: Vice City? Ha ha. That’d be dumb. Well, if you have a PS3—if you’re moving into the PS4 era—without having played Puppeteer, you’ve made a big mistake that you need to fix posthaste. Puppeteer is (mostly) a sidescroller.…

Murdered: Soul Suspect is headed to next-gen—Airtight just confirmed an Xbox One version of their upcoming detective game. It’ll also be on 360, PS3, and PC. No word on PS4 yet (but that’s likely coming, or else Microsoft would be touting the exclusivity).

Here’s a terrific Fallout 3 illustration to overwhelm you with nostalgia and impatience for a new title in the series.

Crimes & Punishments Really, Really Wants To Be A Sherlock Game

The latest installment of the video game adventures of everyone’s favorite public domain detective was announced for the PlayStation 4 today, along with a new trailer desperately evoking the BBC’s modern day buddy detective hit.
