Titanfall, Attack On Titan, Same Difference.

Not everyone gets to ride inside the anime’s titans, and we can’t crunch people in half with the video game’s giant mechs, but in both cases we would if we could. Polariscalls this video a mash up, but it just feels like natural progression to me.

The Saturday Morning Stream: Diablo III: Reaper Of Souls (Stream Over)

I haven’t played much Diablo III since I reviewed the initial release back in 2012. It was nice and solid and Diablo-esque, but it didn’t capture my attention the way earlier games in the series had. Does the Reaper of Souls expansion change that? Watch and find out. Or just read on a bit. The…

Glitches Make Infamous: Second Son Really Silly

Boy does Infamous: Second Son look visually stunning—which in a way, makes any glitches you come across all the better. The game manages to look great even when it’s messing up a bit.

Xbox One Brings Us Next Gen Parenting

You can’t always keep an eye on the kids while playing video games…unless, of course, you choose to rig your console to show you footage of your baby’s crib (also known as a ‘nanny cam’). The wonders of being able to snap Internet Explorer to the side of your games, people. The image above comes…

Ten consecutive strikes, all thrown backwards, in a game with a final score of 280. It’s a world record! The bowler in the video above by RecordSetter is Andrew Cowen, from Rockford, Illinois. Isn’t his form just fantastic? I barely have proper form when trying to bowl normally, heh. Here’s what Cowen had to say…

Eight Indie Games Coming To Xbox One That I’m Excited About

There are few experiences I cherish more as a games reporter than walking into a room full of new, unfinished video games, each one of them ready for me to play. It makes it so easy to be excited about the future of gaming. Every time. I don’t tell you this to gloat, but instead…

Xbox One Troll Tricks People Into Using Skype

With Xbox One trolling becoming such a thing, you’d think that people populating Call of Duty lobbies would have caught on by now—but sometimes, sheer rage just gets the better of us all.

Sonic The Hedgehog Rap. Need I Say More?

There are certain times where the less is said about something, the better. This Sonic the Hedgehog themed rap is one of those times. Labyrinth Zone Act 1 is just…fascinating.
