It’s not rare to find clones and ripoff games on Steam or the app store. The video game market is full of asset theft, much to the dismay of hard-working developers everywhere.

This past weekend, Titanfall 2 offered an open tech test across the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Eager to get my fill of giant robots and balletic gunplay, I suited up to join the fight. All in all, it was pretty fun. But there’s a lot to dissect and discuss. I should begin by admitting…

The PlayStation 4 is an excellent console, one that I’d recommend to anyone who’s looking for a new video game system. Also, you should definitely not buy one. Patrick Redford, a writer for the Bleacher Report fan website Deadspin, has been asking me for the past month whether or not he should buy a PlayStation…
Apparent images of a slimmer, sleeker version of the PlayStation 4 have popped up on the UK auction site Gumtree (h/t NeoGAF), where a British seller claims to have obtained an unannounced model of Sony’s latest console.

Bound is a visually striking game that comes from small Polish studio Plastic. It’s out this week on PS4. It’s a little plain in terms of gameplay but looks fantastic. It has a great in-game photo mode, and with good reason. Every scene in this game is a stunner. There’s a story being told in…

Yesterday morning, I downloaded the day-one patch for No Man’s Sky, a video game in which players explore the universe and try to solve mysteries, such as why the UI looks so much like Destiny’s. I had wiped my old save-file, so with the patch I was starting fresh. This was an opportunity to begin…

Trailers for video games are a weird beast, as misleading as they can be esoteric. Free from the burden of trying to directly sell you a piece of art, commercials for video game hardware are often a lot more fun. While most console sales are (surely) made through stuff like company loyalty, word of mouth,…
