A former developer at Machine Zone—the studio most famous for its Kate Upton-fronted Game of War mobile game—has been arrested and is facing up to ten years prison after being accused of “stealing trade secrets”.

Some Of The Rarest Board Games On Earth

Like video games and comics, there’s a weirdness to what makes a board game rare and valuable. Sometimes it’s quality! Sometimes it’s scarcity. Sometimes it’s simply, well, weirdness. Geek & Sundry put together a list of ten of the absolute rarest that you’ll find on the open market, and as someone who didn’t know any…

New GTA V Graphics Mod Looks Nngh

Martin Bergman has done it. He’s released shots of a graphics mod for GTA V on PC that actually, and noticeably, improve the game’s visuals. That’s awesome! We get sent tweets and emails every week about mods like this, and when we check them out, most times it’s tough seeing any kind of changes or…

Yakuza 5 is coming to the West (praise be the Localisation Gods) for the PS3, and when it does,all of Japan’s DLC for the game is getting thrown in as well

Watch Me Try To Keep The Teens Alive In Until Dawn [Done!]

Can we save the teens from being murdered in the PS4’s big new horror game? Or will we watch everyone die one by one because we made poor choices that snowballed horribly? Let’s find out. Today I will be playing Until Dawn, which Patrick describes as follows: Until Dawn is a new horror game developed…

The Clouds In This PS4 Game Are Truly Next-Gen

When Horizon: Zero Dawn was announced at E3 by the makers of Killzone, what most people focused on were the big robot dinosaurs. Which, you know…fair enough. But the landscape and skies are bringing something awesome to the table too. Let’s take a look. Spotted by GearNuke, Guerrilla Games recently posted a huge presentationthat broke…

Flywrench Could Be The Year’s Best Ridiculously Hard Game

Flywrench is a simple video game, but you will die a great many times. Yet like Super Meat Boy or N++, the controls are so good, you can’t help but blame yourself. When a game controls well, there’s nothing else like it. You feel one with the game, and the controller begins to fade away.…

Some Thoughts After Attending Three Great Nights Of WWE In Brooklyn

I’m obsessed enough about pro wrestling to have spent $340 to go to Summerslam this past weekend…. to sit in $75 nosebleed seats, since my order for floor seats apparently never went through. That was the second of three nights of sold out WWE action that I saw in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, 12+ hours of…

The Peter Dinklage Destiny Lines We’ll Miss Most

In just a couple of weeks, Peter Dinklage will no longer be in Destiny. Let’s take a moment to remember him. A couple of weeks ago Bungie announced that Dinklage’s character, Ghost, would be recast for the upcoming Taken King expansion. In addition, Bungie is taking the unusual step of having Ghost’s new actor, voiceover…

Gears of War Designer Shares Tons Of Behind-The-Scenes Details

Gears of Wars: Ultimate Edition has folks getting nostalgic. Designer Cliff Bleszinski, who left Epic Games in 2012, used Twitter last night to share behind-the-scenes details about the game. As it turns out, several aspects of the series were inspired by the collapse of his first marriage. You’ll want to scroll through Bleszinski’s Twitter account…

Mod Adds First-Person To The Witcher 3, But Only On Horseback

I don’t think first-person would necessarily make The Witcher 3 a better game, but damn this looks cool. The mod, created by insane0hflex, adds two new horseback perspectives to The Witcher 3: over-the-shoulder and first-person. Both are neat, but I don’t know; there’s something about seeing The Witcher 3’s war-torn world up-close-and-personal—through Geralt’s man-cat eyes—that…

Some PlayStation 4 owners are having trouble playing their digitally pre-ordered copies of Until Dawn, and Sony says it’s looking into it. “Our store team is currently investigating the issue,” the company wrote on its support forums.Bummer. Contact the author at [email protected]

Do you play League of Legends on the North America servers? Have you played since they moved to Chicago? If the game is running well—or better than it was before—let us know. If you’re having any connection issues, let us know that, too! We want to get a sense of how League is running post-move.…

Fan Gets Original Ezio Actor To Fix Recent Assassin’s Creed‘s Bad Voice Acting

When Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China came out last spring with a sound-nothing-alike voice actor growling through the handful of lines scripted for iconic franchise hero Ezio, a series superfan who goes by the name Loomer could have done nothing. But no. He’s gone and fixed things with the help of Ezio’s original voice actor. Even…

The New Metal Gear Trailer Sounds Like Kojima Saying Goodbye

If this is Hideo Kojima’s last Metal Gear trailer, he’s going out with a bang. My personal history with the franchise is complicated; loved the first and third games, couldn’t get into the second and fourth games. The deeper Metal Gear dug into its mythology, the more it pushed me away. (It’s weird, too, since…

The First Clip of Nolan North In Destiny

Here’s a tease of what Nolan North’s rendition of Ghost sounds like in Destiny. I don’t know about you, but it sounds pretty similar to Dinklebot to me. Which probably means that the original Ghost sounds the way it does because of Bungie’s direction, not Peter Dinklage. Oh yeah, and there’s stuff about The Taken…

Dying Light’s Big Expansion Looks Like A Completely Different Game

Zombie-killing fans have been hearing a lot about the purportedly very large expansion pack for this year’s surprisingly excellent game Dying Light. But we haven’t actually seen that much of it yet. Developer Techland put out a 15 minute gameplay video for the DLC today, and it looks, well, game-changing. You can watch the whole…

Nine Things You Need To Know About Gears of War: Ultimate Edition

It’s been almost a decade since the first Gears of War came out on Xbox 360. During that time, many games borrowed Gears’ best ideas, and the series became one of the most influential of the last generation. I’ve spent the last week playing through Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition, an Xbox One and PC…
