Steam Game Turns Gabe Newell Into A Boss Fight
You think you can take on Gabe Newell? Good luck! The GIF above comes fromCrawl, a dungeon-crawling game where your friends play as the monsters. It’s not an April Fool’s joke, either. Gabe Newell is literally going to be in the game as a mini-boss of sorts. The game calls them “statues,” and according to…

Legally Blind Gamer Can Finally Enjoy More PS4 Games
PlayStation 4’s recent firmware update has a bunch of cool new features, but I hadn’t heard of “zoom” until I read about how it changed the way one player is able to experience their games.

Rockstar today released a new trailer for the upcoming PC version of GTA V, which comes out in two weeks.

Wario Turns Pokémon Into Evil Little Creatures
Hoenn would turn into a post-apocalyptic region in days with Wario-like Pokémon running around. And judging by their looks, these little vile creatures, drawn by Justin Hall over at Dorkly, would also act as Mario’s greedy antagonist. Here’s a whole bunch of “WaPokémon”, check out Dorkly’s gallery for more. To contact the author of this…

Diablo III With WoW’s Camera Looks Like a Totally Different Game
Diablo III and all its predecessors have a fixed camera with an isometric view. We can zoom in, but basically that’s it. Monstrousd3 messed a bit with the camera angles and made a short clip showing how the game would look from a different perspective, similar to World of Warcraft’s. It certainly looks a bit…

Japan’s New Fire Emblem Has Four Versions, Is Crazy
The last Fire Emblem—which was amazing—was available in a single version. The next one, Fire Emblem if, is available in four (at least in Japan), and it’s both hilarious and horrifying to see it all written down in the one place. Bear with me here. And note that everything I’m about to show you has…

Bravely Default Sequel Trailer Torments America
We still don’t know if Bravely Second—the sequel to Bravely Default—is even coming out in the West, let alone whether it’s coming this year. Sadness. But hey, at least there’s this new trailer for the game. Which might actually make you sadder, so…sorry? Bravely Second is out in Japan next month. The first one was…

The First Five Seconds Of Super Mario Bros.
What deep insight can you glean from a classic video game within the first five seconds of pressing start? Not much, as it turns out. So I went ahead and recorded another video for Super Mario Bros., upping the limit to 300 seconds instead of five. Man, what a difference. I know you’ve likely seen…

Jeez, Bloodborne Sure Can Be Depressing
Bloodborne is breaking my heart. It’s very easy to miss it, but there are many smaller stories taking place in the world of Yharnam. Many of them are kind of dark. ( And on this note, if you don’t want to be spoiled on one of the sidequests in Bloodborne, you should stop reading now!)…

Mario Kart Is Getting A New, Harder Difficulty Level
Ever since the olden days when Mario and co raced in horse-drawn carriages, Mario Kart’s had three difficulties levels. Soon, though, that’s going to change. On April 23rd, Nintendo will release a free update to Mario Kart 8 that’ll add a 200cc mode. It’s apparently far faster than 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc, requiring a mastery…
