Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Is Short. Really Short.
The prologue to Metal Gear Solid V comes out next month, and if you’re expecting a nice chunk of Snake’s story to keep you occupied until the full game is done, you should probably know that it’s short. Really short. Game Informer got their hands on a near-final build of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes…

Goat Simulator Knows How To Throw A Party
Yesterday I bemoaned that Goat Simulator was just a game jam game that probably won’t be publicly available. Today I return with more footage that makes that reality all the more painful. I wanna be a goat that gets rewarded for messing up the human’s party. 🙁 Actually, I shouldn’t get too sad here…it’s possible…

A Mech Game Straight Out Of The ’90s
Nostalgia is a weird beast — one that bubbles up and gets excited for the most random things. If this trailer is any indication, Matador is giving my inner PC gaming child a run for its money. Matador has a lot of things going for it: The isometric angle, the fact that it’s chock full…

Not All Kids Think Video Games Are Good For You
Now that YouTuber Game Dave and his army of young, free-spelling youngsters have weighed in on the console war, it’s time to tackle a tougher issue — are video games bad for you? Yes. Also, no. Maybe? I’d giggle at the hysterical spelling errors of children under 10, but some of these look an awful…

Four Gadgets Predicted By Star Trek That Are Now Real
We might not have Jetsons-style mass-produced hovercars, but when you look at some of the tech humanity has developed, you could say we’re kind of living in the future. So to speak. And Star Trek, as great sci-fi tends to do, predicted some of that ‘future’—some of the gizmos presented in the show are now…

Team-based tactics in a Captain America video game? Here’s our first look at the official video game tie-in for Captain America: The Winter Soldier from Gameloft. It’s a mix of action and tactics, and will feature multiplayer clans. Weird. Look for it on iOS and Android next month.

Someone Made A (Mostly) Functional Kerbal Space Program Transformer
Sure, this Starscream-inspired transformer definitely looks a little bit shaky, but that’s how all great inventions start out. It takes a while to get from biplanes to sentient fighter jets, but we’re getting there! If you’re at all familiar with Kerbal Space Program, you know that it’s no easy task just to get a basic…

Everything Wrong With The Original Robocop (It’s All Lies)
I don’t know what movie the CinemaSins guy watched to come up with seven minutes’ worth of problems, but it couldn’t have been the original Robocop — the movie is perfect. Okay, so maybe it was perfect to whichever version of me first watched it back in 1987. Thing is, that weird little bastard, with…

Real-Life Smash Bros. Returns with Baseball Bats and Fireworks
About four years ago, these guys got the idea to stage a Super Smash Bros. tournament in real life—and it wasn’t some cutesy-poo re-enactment, either. They hit each other. With sticks. Hard. After a two-year layoff, 3GI’sSuper Smash Tournament returned last month for a third season. Here’s the latest bout, facing off Earthbound and Brawl…

A Look Behind The Scenes Of Final Fantasy
The world of Japanese video game development can often feel mysterious to those of us in the Western Hemisphere, so it’s always cool to get these behind-the-scenes peeks at studios like Square Enix. Granted, this is a fluff video for the upcoming Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (out next Tuesday for 360/PS3), so it doesn’t…

A DayZ Flow Chart That Tells The Whole Truth
You’ll die a lot in DayZ. After a (hopefully) successful respawn, you have to go through the same routine: Run for hours, survive until you find something useful, head to your favorite location for military gear, and, if you’re still alive, with guns and enough ammo in your pocket you might finally feel safe. Here’s…

Here’s 21-year-old illustrator Piper Thibodeau’s rather cartoony reimagination of the Kanto starter Pokémon. Compared to Charmander in the third picture, Squirtle and Bulbasaur both look so grumpy and bored, you might consider not using them in battle at all. Squirtle’s evolution line is in the top pic, here’s Bulbasaur and Charmander. Head over to Cryptid…
