Probably Not the New Soul Calibur Game You Were Waiting For
Awesome: a new Soul Calibur game is out today! Not awesome: it’s a collectible card game made for touch-screen devices. Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong with CCG titles or touch-screen games. Just look at Hearthstone. But, Soul Calibur: Unbreakable Soul looks like it’s taking the most fun part of the weapon-centric martial art series, namely…

If Disney Characters Were College Students
DeviantART artist Hyung’s extensive Disney University series takes classic Disney characters and puts them in a modern-day college setting. It’s easy to imagine Pocahontas or Hercules in a scenario like this, but it gets a lot funnier when he transforms Simba, Bambi or Pinocchio. Here are some highlights, with a LOT more over at Hyung’s…

Our First Real Look At Sunset Overdrive
Insomniac, to put it bluntly, has something to prove right now.

‘A Co-op Submarine Roguelike In A Verne-Inspired Undersea Universe’
In fact, it’s a co-op roguelike “created under the mindset of having friends scream at each other.” Sounds fun! We Need To Go Deeper is a four-man multiplayer, somewhat FTL-like game based around exploring the deep sea, searching for treasure and trying not to die in the process. Well, FTL-like in the sense that there’s…

Homer Simpson’s Finest Hour, Immortalised In LEGO
Not counting whatever insane garbage he’s been up to in the ten years since I stopped watching the show, I always thought Homer Simpson’s most defining moment wasn’t when he was a space hero (remember, the rod got the credit!), but when the eyes of the world were upon him at a car show. It…

The upcoming Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U won’t just be taking place on the Wii U. Nintendo will also be releasing a smartphone app, on which people can share stuff like highlight reels and check out leaderboards. I’m shocked. Not that Nintendo is making an app, or that it even looks useful, but…
