Three Bloodborne Players Race Neck-And-Neck For The Fastest Kills

Care for a reminder of how good people can be at Bloodborne? I’ve got just the thing. The challenge, part of a PlayStation-sponsored competition hosted by VaatiVidya, was simple: You’ve got 15 minutes. Start a new game of Bloodborne, and kill as many human Hunter characters as you can. It pains me to watch people…

Marvel has announced a partnership with Telltale Games. They hope to develop a game series that will premiere in 2017. What this series will be is a mystery!

When Medieval Combat Meets UFC

Let’s say you’re cool with the violence of mixed martial arts, but feel like it’s missing something. The kind of thing you can only really get from two medieval dudes covered in armour beating the shit out of each other with swords. If you’ve suddenly realised that’s you, Russia has you covered. The country’s M-1…

Mortal Kombat Nut Punches Are Brutal

Holy shit, Cassie Cage. Content warning: this post includes footage of violently exploding balls. Possibly NSFW! Those of you playing Mortal Kombat X have probably already seen this, but given how ridiculous it is, I thought it was worth sharing. Cassie Cage has an X-Ray move where she punches characters so hard, their balls erupt.…

The League Of Legends Subreddit Is Having A Rough Month

Vote manipulation. Banned journalists and YouTubers. Reddit moderators who enjoy a disproportionate amount of influence. Not all is well in the community of one of the most world’s popular video games. Over the past few weeks, the Reddit page for the game League of Legends—a vibrant community that’s home to over 670,000 subscribers—has run into…

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Is Coming To Steam–Too Bad It Sucks

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, the direct sequel to FFIV, will come to Steam on May 12, Square Enix announced today. This’ll be a 3D remake in the style of the FFIV port that’s also on Steam (and on DS). Too bad it’s terrible. I’ve already written a lot about why The After Years…

People Are Freaking Out Over A Blank Five Nights at Freddy’s Image

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of the Five Nights at Freddy hype train revving up once more. Here we go again! Today, the Five Nights at Freddy fandom is going haywire over the image you see above. Yes, that image of nothing. To understand why an image of Literally Nothing can be so…

PSN Pre-Order Glitch Has Gone Ignored For Months

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been out for a while now, but a pre-order glitch has been causing havoc for users, and Sony has yet to address it. This seems wrong. A lengthy threadon the PlayStation support forum (and another on Capcom’s forums) has been around since late February, and details how a quirk with…

The Fake Video Game Rumor Someone Spread For… Homework

What drives a person to make up a video game rumor and spread it around the internet? They might do it for the fame or the infamy. Maybe for a laugh. Sometimes, it’s… to get a good grade on a college paper. In early March, a Reddit user going by the name certain_ability posted a…

Square Enix has confirmed it’ll be holding an E3 press conference on June 16, which suggests the publisher has lots to show off in Los Angeles.

Overlord Is Finally Coming Back, But I Have Concerns

It’s been six years since Codemasters released an Overlord, but I’ve gotta admit Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is not the sequel I was expecting. They seem to have turned it into Diablo. What made Overlord so interesting and unique was both its sense of humor (you play as the quasi bad guy, after all) and…

Mario Kart 8 Is Now Officially The Cutest Mario Kart Ever

Mario Kart 8’s second batch of DLC finally came out today. Just like the first round that added Zelda and F-Zero stuff into the mix, this one looks pretty rad. Perhaps more importantly, it also looks ridiculously, disgustingly cute. What’s in the new DLC, exactly? 8 new tracks (divided into two cups), three new characters,…

Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets just announced his first game since leaving Ubisoft, and although details are scant, it’s got the clunky title Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. Eurogamerwas in attendance for the reveal in Dubrovnik, and you can watch the teaser there (but don’t expect much—it’s just a teaser).

Dota Renders Sure Are Detailed

Valve artist Max Aristov shared renders of a couple of Dota character models with a very high polygon count. And even without textures, they look like real-life sculptures or minifigs from a board game, not something from a MOBA. Maybe one day technology and PCs will catch up, and instead of the current low-poly models,…

Our First Real Look At Actual Gameplay In Mad Max

For the past few weeks, you’ve probably seen a non-stop deluge of trailers for the upcoming Mad Max movie, which comes out next month. Now it’s time to get a real look at the game, too.
