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…

A Weaker Man of Steel Has Me Really Pumped for Upcoming Superman Comics

Superman’s been hit with some big changes over the last few months. And it looks like they’re going to be paying off big dividends starting next month.

Blizzard unleashed its ban hammer again, this time kicking out more than 100,000 World of Warcraft players for a six-month period.

Sweet Counter-Strike Wallpaper

This series of wallpapers by drizzly shows some of Counter-Strikes most iconic map spots, and recreates them in a cute isometric style. The longer I look at this, the more I’d love to see a Counter-Strike game that takes most of the pages out of Hitman Go’s playbook. There are phone versions of the wallpapers…

Go Behind The Scenes On One Of The Best Star Wars Games Ever Made

Star Wars: Republic Commando is one of the greatest Star Wars games of all, and is easily the best game based on the prequel trilogy. I’ve got a whole new appreciation for it, though, after watching this developer playthrough, hosted by the game’s lead programmer Brett Douville. As people who don’t make games, it’s always…

GTA V Mod Overhauls Police, Calls In The Army

The wanted levels in GTA V kind of suck. You’ve got a police force that is half-psychic, half robocop. When you hit max stars, there are no tanks anymore. What gives? Enter modders. The Crime and Police Rebalance & Enhancement mod, as shown in this video by The XXI, reworks the entire crime system in…

Steam’s Latest Top Seller Is A Cool Surprise

Windward is not a survival game in early access. It’s not a shooter. It’s not a roguelike. Really, it’s not much like the typical games you always see tearing up the Steam charts at all—and thank kraken for that! Instead, Windward is a top-down sailing game with a procedurally generated world. You can do stuff…

I’m Sick Of This ‘Cat Lady’ Bullshit

Look, I like cats. I grew up with them. I own one. I’ll chase them down on the street to try and pet them. But just because I have a cat, that does not make me a cat lady. Frankly, I haven’t personally been accused of being one either. But I’m still sick of people…

League of Legends’ New Champion Ekko Can Bend Time

When Riot revealed it was adding a champion into League of Legends who can travel through time, some important questions were left unanswered.

The New Female Thor Continues an Excellent Run of Thunder God Comics

I Like How Heroes Of The Storm Cheers You Up When You’re Losing

I noticed something about Heroes of the Storm the other night. It’s a small detail, but an important one. The game actually tries to lift your spirits when a match isn’t going well. During any given game of Heroes of the Storm, player characters chatter with one another. The game draws from Blizzard’s historic game…
