The Best Video-Game Drug Sequences
Video games let us do all sorts of things we don’t normally do in our everyday lives. A lot of those things revolve around the (un?)holy trinity of guns, cars and drugs. I’ve been replaying Grand Theft Auto V recently, and I just passed the mission where Michael’s son drugs him and steals his car.…

Crossing Bridges Is Hard
Our goal in Bridge Constructor is to build a bridge, and then pass through it. But as usual, it wouldn’t be all that fun if it were that simple. Vinny on YouTube thankfully knows exactly how to do it in a classy way. Crossing the bridge is actually the last thing you wanna do: The…

Deus Ex Facebook Page’s World Book Day Message: Don’t Read Books
One would think a series with its roots firmly planted in the seminal transhumanist science fiction of the 20th century would be a bit more respectful of the whole book-reading thing. Alas. Celebrated in the United Kingdom on the first Thursday of March, World Book Day is a yearly event organized by the United Nations…

Quite Possibly the Most Depressing ‘Let’s Play’ You’ll Ever Watch
Often times the most interesting thing about watching someone narrate a game isn’t the game itself, it’s the person behind it. The short film Let’s Play Nomad X, uploaded last year but making the rounds now, is about what people can tell you about themselves when you read between the lines. It’s about the brief,…

You Are Probably Not As Good At Driving Games As This Guy
I’ve always had a distant respect for players of the arcade racing series Initial D. This video catapults that respect to new heights. Watch as a player by the name of Josh demolishes a tough as nails stage in Initial D Arcade Stage 6 AA. It’s hypnotic to watch anybody perform at that level, then…

Let’s Hope These Nintendo Mobile Games Never Happen
Donkey Kong, re-imagined as a riff on Angry Birds. Duck Hunt, where you dispatch waterfowl with a slash of a fingertip. Flappy Mario. Please, God, no. Nintendo’s said that they’re not “releasing Mario on smart devices.” One investor in the company really wants them to. So, of course, the folks at Red Bull’s video game…

Wind Waker, In First Person, on the Oculus Rift
The prettiest Zelda game, now playable in virtual reality and in a new perspective. Awesome. As you can see in this video by Chadtronic, unlike the Ocarina demo, this isn’t a proof of concept that’s missing a lot of key elements. You can battle and interact with the world normally, and all the characters are…

Your PC Must Be This Powerful To Play Dark Souls II
While the console version of Dark Souls II hits next week, the PC version, with its increased texture resolution options, isn’t due out until April 25. That gives us plenty of time to make sure our systems are up to recommended specs. Let’s have a look! Via the game’s Namco Bandai store page, we’re not…

PixelJunk Inc. Coming To Steam Early Access With A Sweet New Name
The latest adventure in Q-Games’ PixelJunk saga is so grand in scope and stature that a simple three-letter abbreviation couldn’t contain it, so PixelJunk Inc. becomes PixelJunk Nom Nom Galaxy, coming to Steam Early Access on March 13. In this incredibly long, often incredibly awkward video, Q-Games’ head honcho Dylan Cuthbert makes some soup, but…

The Disappointment Of Video Game Guns
Back in mid-2012, for four minutes and six seconds, I thought the coolest big-budget video game I’d seen in years didn’t have guns. I was wrong. I don’t mind guns in games. I mean, I don’t want them in my Zeldas or my Donkey Kongs, but guns can be fun in plenty of others: from…

Conan O’Brien Plays WWE 2K14, Calls His Character an A**hole
There’s no better way to beat The Rock than with a custom, skinny Conan character. Conan O’Brien is back with “Clueless Gamer” and this time he plays WWE 2K14. I’m glad they’ve spent time with the game’s best feature: character customization. Here’s the full clip: Clueless Gamer: Conan Reviews “WWE 2K14” [Team Coco, YouTube] To…
