A New RTS That’s As Old-School As They Get

It looked too good to be true, but it’s real, and it’s playable: Meridian is now available on Steam (Early Access), and it’s pretty much everything it promised to be. It said it’d be a traditional RTS, and it sure is. This is every bit a StarCraft and Command & Conquer kind of RTS, all…

A Game That’s Supposed To Be Broken

It’s been a few weeks since I wrote about Glitchspace, but I just got my hands on an early build of the game. It is a very different first-person experience.

Remember That Spelunky World Record? It Just Got Topped.

Spelunky players just refuse to give up. It makes sense, considering the game they’ve chosen to spend so much time playing. The world record for highest possible score has been beaten, with an amazing run by YamaYamaDingDong. I asked YamaYamaDingDong what his next attempt is going to be, and he says he’ll be trying to…

Frozen Should Have Ended Like This

Sure, Frozen is a lovely tale about sisterhood and love…but it really didn’t have to go down like it did in the movie. Elsa didn’t need to be secluded from everyone, she didn’t need to hide her powers! Had the movie actually embraced Elsa’s powers the entire way through, then the movie might’ve looked a…

Battlefield 4 Bug Can Kill You When You Try To Shoot

Talk about game-breaking: apparently, if you happen to have a revivable dead body standing between you and an enemy in Battlefield 4, there’s a chance that downed will eat your bullets—or worse, will bounce something dangerous like a grenade or an RPG back into your face. If you’ve been having trouble killing people in Battlefield…

You want too much information? Well then, here you go. FiveThirtyEight ran all of Bob “Happy Little Trees” Ross‘ paintings through a giant calculator, and what they discovered is… enlightening.

Somehow, Sailor Moon Characters As The Avengers Works

Imagine, for a moment, that The Avengers weren’t the Marvel heroes that we know and love—and instead, they were Sailor Moon characters. Okay, I know that sounds bizarre but…just stick with me here, okay? Turns out, the mash-up would work pretty well—at least, if we’re going off the Sailor Moon x Avengers renditions drawn up…

A Breakdown of The New Smash Bros. Mode

Based on what we’ve seen of Smash Run, the recently-revealed multiplayer mode in Super Smash Bros. where players traverse dungeon-like levels and collect power-ups, it looks like the 3DS-specific mode could be a blast. The smaller details hidden in the Smash Run footage—which GameXplain break down in the video above—only solidify that notion. Here is…
