The Last of Us Getting Free Update, Sharp New Multiplayer Mode

When I reviewed The Last of Us earlier this year, I may not have given its multiplayer portion enough credit.

You Get Better Guns For Looking At Women’s Breasts In Killer Is Dead

Mondo Zappa, the hero of the new game Killer Is Dead, enjoys the occasional drink with a lady between missions. Apparently the reason he does is that as he stares at their breasts and legs, he works up the courage to give them a gift. In return, he can get a new gun arm! Here’s…

Sony Is On A Roll With These WTF PlayStation Ads

Last time we checked into Latin American ads, we saw Sony try to sell people on PlayStation products using a most unusual premise. Oh, but it seems that it’s not the only ad in the campaign! So. The ad above? It translates to, “You won’t care if your boyfriend doesn’t call while playing.” Hmm, is…

Killer Is Dead Makes Absolutely No Sense

Suda51’s new game, Killer Is Dead, is another entry into his long history of games filled with murder and scantily clad women. The gameplay can get very frustrating, but not so much that I didn’t want to keep going to find out what the next insane mission would be about. Killer Is Dead is out…

This Could Easily Be The Launch Trailer For A Solo Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn launches today, and this trailer punctuates one of the biggest improvements to come from several years of vigorous retooling: it feels more like a numbered FF game. It’s not that the original Final Fantasy XIV didn’t have a real story — it’s just there was so much extraneous crap…
