Forget Call of Duty, Xbox Is Getting Some Amazing-Looking Indies

There are a lot of cool trailers here, but I’m probably most excited for Cuphead, the game styled after 1930’s animation: Ori and the Blind Forest is an adventure platformer that looks oh-so-pretty: Grave is some kind of open-world horror game where reality shifts and changes. Looks different enough to possibly refresh my interest in…

Fable Legends‘ Four Versus One is a Lot of Fun

Fable Legends is one of those games that doesn’t quite make sense until you get your hands on it. Fable is such an intrinsically single-player experience for a lot of us that imagining it as a co-op action game requires some mental gymnastics. Once I had a controller in my hands and four other people…

Criterion Graduates From Crashing Cars To Crashing Everything

It’s not a new Burnout game. The next game from Criterion is… different.

Putting Bruce Lee Against Real UFC Fighters Is Kinda Creepy, Guys

Bruce Lee’s been in video games before. But his latest appearance as a playable character—in EA’s upcoming UFC game—just feels weird.
