I’ll Take All The Titanfall K’nex Building Toys Now, Please
When K’nex Brands first announced its upcoming Titanfall line of building toys at Toy Fair earlier this year, I was unimpressed. Now that I’ve spent several days playing the game, I must have all of them right now. K’nex, like Mega Bloks, is one of those building toy companies the video game makers go to…

The Amazing Spider-Man Takes Another Swing At Mobile Gaming
It’s not a new Marvel movie without a Gameloft-developed mobile game tie-in. Behold The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the much prettier sequel to Gameloft’s bestselling The Amazing Spider-Man. While I’ve had problems with some of Gameloft’s other superhero-based offerings (Iron Man 3, bleh), the first Amazing Spider-Man was actually quite good, channeling the spirit of the…

The Next Angry Birds Is A Turn-Based Role-Playing Game. What?
Angry Birds developer Rovio said they were teasing an epic new game, and they weren’t kidding. Soft launching in Australia and Canada this week, Angry Birds Epic is an adventure role-playing game with turn-based combat and an extensive crafting system. I did not see this coming. It actually sounds pretty amazing for a mobile title.…

Ricky Gervais Would Be The Most Annoying Supervillain
Comedian Ricky Gervais knows exactly what role would fit him perfectly: the role of a supervillain, whose only superpower is being obnoxiously annoying, and whose only weakness is tickling. A villain like that would bring to heel almost everyone (except Deadpool). As you can see in the video above, Conan O’Brien, too, is shocked and…

Pro Wrestling Is So Much Better With Sonic and Gabe Newell
We’ve already seen great characters created using WWE 2k14‘s deep character creation toolkit, but why stick to superheroes when the possibilities are endless? So Jerma on YouTube went completely crazy and created an entire tournament with characters that are just out of this world. Sonic above is just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s Glue…

Here’s the Crusader’s “Steed charge” skill, from Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. That’s gotta be one of the most badass-looking skills so far in the game, next to Whirlwind and the Wizards’ Disintegrate. Makes me wanna roll a Crusader first when the expansion is out and level that up before my existing characters. Dayshot is…

Even Superheroes Get Old
Not every superhero has the powers of Dr. Manhattan or Deadpool, so they get old and worn out eventually. A charming series by DeviantART artist Lelpel plays with the idea, imagining what they would look like 30 or 40 years from now. Here’s some highlights, and the artist has a lot more in his gallery.…

Poor Team Fortress 2 sniper. He just wanted to have breakfast. I’m pretty sure we can all relate to Callegos Yavolitak‘s outstanding Team Fortress 2 machinima, where the most important meal of the day is also the hardest to carry out. And the Oregon Trail-style ending fits really well. SFM Breakfast Break [Callegos Yavolitak, YouTube]…

“PC on very high setting is REALLY stunning if you ask me… Trailer wasn’t a good [graphics reference].” On Twitter, Watch Dogs’ creative director answers comments related to the game getting “uglier” with the latest trailer, noting that the earlier E3 2012 footage came from the PC version.

Battlefield: Pirates, Essentially
Although Battlefield: Pirates actually does kinda exist in the form of mods for Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2, this game, BlackWake, will probably surpass either of those. Provided it’s finished. What we’re looking at is a multiplayer team-based shooter for PC, centered around naval battles. Here’s a video describing the game’s features; basically, it’ll be…
