Mod Makes Skyrim Look Like A Pixar Film

I would very much like to play this version of Skyrim Modder UniqueUses has been playing around with Bethesda’s last Elder Scrolls game, and while I’ve seen plenty of visual mods for Skyrim, this is something else.

Take a Look at Iron Man’s New Armor

Things will be a lot different after the reality-bending events of Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars crossover wrap up. Tony Stark’s still going to be Iron Man, though, and he’ll be wearing an all-new suit of super-armor. It sounds like it can do… anything? The next series featuring the armored Avenger comes out this fall from…

Always Eat Your Video Game Vegetables

The rewarding but occasionally unpleasant video game Beyond Eyes has one exceptional idea: You’re blind. Or you’re Rae, rather, and Rae is blind. Because she can’t see, you can’t see. Instead, this young blind girl pieces together a visual picture of the world around her by using her other senses—mostly sound, but also smell and…

And The Best Geared World of Warcraft Character Award Goes To… Mario

You don’t need the rarest or the most expensive mount to shine in the center of your faction’s capital city. You just need the appropriate clothes. Someone perfected this with an awesome Super Mario look. Sniping the “Mario” name must have been the hardest part of this virtual Super Mario cosplay, since it doesn’t have…

Someone Actually Played Through All of Fallout 3 As A Baby

Years ago, Fallout fans discovered that it was possible to escape the opening area of Fallout 3 at the start of the game, thus allowing players to go through a game as a baby. It was a fun trick, sure, but it seemed untenable for an entire game…until now. YouTuber Bryan Pierre just managed to…

Gaming Heads is the one responsible for this Mordin statue, which is good, ‘cause someone else might have gotten it wrong. Sorry. In any case, the statue stands 20.5 inches tall, will be out next year, and comes in two flavors: exclusive (with console) and regular (without console) Check below for a couple more pics.…

I Already Like Dark Souls 3 More Than Dark Souls 2

Look, I didn’t like Dark Souls 2 all that much, alright? There was something missing. Something that Dark Souls 3 appears to have. That thing is majesty. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK I don’t want to go off on Dark Souls 2. It is still a great game – even a mildly disappointing…

Meet YouTube Gaming’s app. Do you use Twitch on your phone? This is better. For a while now, Google has been getting ready to take on Twitch, which is currently top dog in the world of online video game…videos. While Twitch has a big audience and was recently bought by Amazon, Google is hoping that…

Hearts Of Iron IV Yyyeeeesssss

The Hearts of Iron series has long sat neatly between the worlds of “strategy video games” and “hellish grognard icon wasteland”. The fourth game is looking, if nothing else, prettier.

What happens when three friends decide to run an actual full-on marathon inside of GTA V? This video by Berdu, that’s what. Contact the author at [email protected]

This is Tower 57, a “90’s inspired cyberpunk-art deco twin-stick shooter”. It’s currently up on Kickstarter.

Video Game Argument Ends With Man Shot In Butt

An argument over an unnamed video game turned violent in Columbus, Ohio earlier this week when one of two men involved took out a gun and started shooting. The pair had been playing a game together in the same room, but at around 10pm on Wednesday night things got heated, with 10TV reporting that 26…

Cities Skylines is awesome. But it’s also weird, in that it only ever takes place during the day. An upcoming expansion will fix that (and hopefully add a lot more than just lights; that Vice City-esque font is promising).

Paradox Explores, Expands Into Space Games

Paradox Interactive, the studio behind one of the best strategy games of modern times, are for one of their next titles moving past the ages of sword and horse, into the age of starships and aliens with a game called Stellaris. I couldn’t be more psyched. I know, I know, new game announcements should always…

“My personal favourite change is Fox getting his jab weakened because I have zero experience in that matchup. But now I’m not scared of getting jabbed at 50 and dying.” Red Bull interviewed Smash Bros. pros about the new patch, and they make some good points about what the character buffs mean for the game.

Nasty Binding Of Isaac Patch Causing Crashes On 3DS

The Binding of Isaac finally arrived on 3DS—specifically, New 3DS—a few weeks back, but it’s been a bumpy launch for roguelike fans, as they’ve run into a series of unfortunate glitches. Fans on NeoGAF and the game’s subreddit are reporting frequent and repeated crashes while simply playing the game: Some of the issues were introduced…

Marvel’s Civil War Returns, With No End in Sight

Superheroes fight each other all the time. Usually, they get over it and pound the real bad guys into the ground. But in the new Civil War comic, which is an alternate-reality continuation of a 2006 Marvel crossover of the same name, Captain America and Iron Man are ready to do some real messed-up things.…

A Platformer Where Painting Is Just As Important As Jumping

When you start a level in Ink, there’s nothing. By the end, it’s a platforming kaleidoscope. Am I the only person in the world really hoping for another de Blob video game? There’s something about filling a world with color that scratched an itch I never knew I had. Even if another de Blob never…

It’s Ridiculous That League of Legends Isn’t Getting A Sandbox Mode

Yesterday afternoon, Riot Games published an explanation for why it hasn’t added an oft-requested sandbox mode to its hit online multiplayer game League of Legends. The statement was bullshit. A sandbox mode is (in theory, at least) a practice mode for League of Legends, which doesn’t currently offer anything other than two very limited tutorials…
