This series sure has come a long way since this early prototype from 2002. Remember, this is what The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which launched this week, looks like. (I love the sunsets in this game!) We’re only learning about the series’ origins because former project lead Ryszard Chojnowski has started publishing videos on YouTube…

Reader Mike wanted to know when Life is Strange Episode 3 was out on PS4. Sony’s answer was…helpful? Not really? If you’re wondering, yes, the link does indeed go to Life is Strange’s Steam page.
In 2012, Sony closedits Liverpool studio, home of the WipeOut series and one of the oldest (and coolest) game developers on the planet. In 2015, WipeOut is back, in all but name.

It’s easy to rack up money in The Witcher 3 by slaughtering hundreds and hundreds of bovine. There are glitches, and there are exploits. This is the latter, as pointed out by YouTuber WhatMyGame. He outlines a quick way to start hoarding cash in a game without very much: Let’s break down how it works.…
A 17-year-old in British Columbia, Canada—that’s him above—plead guilty to 23 cases of extortion, public mischief and criminal harassment. What does that mean, exactly? He’s terrifying. You might have read about this kid last year. Tri-City News has been following the case, in which the teenager recently admitted to a dozen other charges. It’s one…
The Witcher 3 is, for the most part, a stunning experience, but you can’t please everybody. That’s what mods are for. Despite only bewitching (and therefore, de-wizarding) players for a few days, The Witcher 3’s PC version already has some pretty sweet mods. You can’t, like, play as white-haired version of The Incredible Hulk yet,…
Riot just put out a neat and surprisingly moving short comic that details the backstory of League of Legends’ new champion Ekko. You can read the whole thing here. Also: is anyone else getting a strong Transistor vibe from this guy?
In its quest to make Heroes of the Storm as approachable as possible, Blizzard has made one grievous error: they only offered players one competitive gameplay mode before become eligible for ranked “Hero League” matches. This hurts the game in a number of ways. Thankfully, it’s also easily fixable. Like the games that inspired its…
The first Swords & Soldiers, released nearly six years ago, was a hidden Wii gem. The new one, released today for Wii U? More of the same in all the best ways. I captured my playthrough of one of the game’s levels so you can see for yourself. What you’ll see is a colorful, briskly…

What if I told you that hunky Far Cry 1 star Jack Carver and creepy Far Cry 2 villain The Jackal were the same person? To quote Eurogamer’s Ian Higton: “The clue is in the name, people!” Higton published a thoughtful video today that attempts to connect the dots between the different installments in the…
Artist Martin Olsson uses a combination of Skyrim glitches and CGI software to create some truly horrifying animations. That poor skeleton! Olsson has been publishing his monstrosities on Coub lately, and they’re a wonder to behold. There’s something strangely beautiful about them, no? Olsson’s Tumblr page has plenty more nightmare fuel, if you need it.…
Electronic Arts has formally announced the new Need For Speed, which appears to be taking some serious cues from Need For Speed Underground, and is a “full reboot” for the series.

Techland has decided to put its first-person dungeon crawler, Hellraid, on hold. The game was supposed to be released later this year, but the Dying Light developer wants to “send it back to the drawing board.” Here’s the company’s full statement: Dear Hellraid fans, We would like to officially announce that our dark fantasy FPP…
Normally, Nautilus’ special hook attack is only meant to ensare one enemy at a time. But thanks to the most annoying thing ever to show its face in League of Legends, one lucky player managed to trap four enemies at the same damn time. That’s right. As YouTuber Miguel Pardinas showed in this silly short…
Can you say…killer tofu? No. Actually, you can’t. This is a Nintendo shooter, after all. In a recent “Iwata Asks” conversation between president Saturo Iwata and key members of the Splatoon team, the developers revealed that before the game became a bright and colorful paint-chucking extravaganza, it starred innocuous blocks of tofu. Mmmmm, tofu. So…
