The Indiana Jones Restaurant Seems Like a Letdown
There’s an Indiana Jones restaurant? There will be this fall at the Walt Disney World Resort. But don’t get your hopes up just yet. Actually, don’t get them up ever. Your initial reaction was probably something like this, no? [Photo: Indiana Jones Wikia] [Photo: Indiana Jones Wikia] No, no, no. Instead of an Indiana Jones…

New Halo Toys Are Very, Very Cool
There have been hundreds of Halo figures released over the last ten years, but despite advances in technology (allowing for greater detail and “realism”), they haven’t changed that much. Not until these interesting new figures from Kotobukiya, anyway. They’re called Halo Spartan Techsuits, and the idea is that instead of coming as a finalised, completed…

This Is One Hell Of A Video Game Trailer
In this line of work, you see a lot of trailers. Almost all the trailers. So it takes a lot to make me sit up and go “wow, that’s a good video game trailer”. That’s pretty much what happened with Not A Hero’s launch clip, though. The narration is a masterpiece, a priceless work of…

League Of Legends vs Fire Emblem Is Joke, But Should Be Real
There’s one Fire Emblem crossover coming already, but this one—if it was actually real—would be way more interesting. Randy Nova’s excellent video reimagines LoL as a Fire Emblem game, complete with soundtrack, grid, turn-based combat and pithy combat chatter. I’m not the world’s biggest LoL fan, but joke video or not, I would play the…

Rock Paper Scissors Video Game Works Surprisingly Well
I never knew I wanted a Western-themed rhythm game with rock paper scissors until just now. Sifting through game jam entries can be thrilling and boring, a chance to explore an endless sea of creativity and an opportunity to drown in games with interesting ideas but poor execution. Now, however, the games have been voted…

Sorry About This GTA V Mod, PETA
We’ve heard tales of cats rampaging through GTA V’s city of Los Santos. But what about people rampaging by way of cats? Like: using a gun that fires fuzzy little monsters instead of bullets? Once again, your wish is a modder’s command. YouTuber taltigolt published a video last night showing Franklin rampaging through Vespucci beach…
