Here’s the gameplay trailer for the aptly named Rambo: The Video Game, currently in development at the Poland-based Teyon. Yes, it’s a licensed title, but… it actually looks pretty darn good!

The Sea Giving You Trouble? No Problem, Just Shrink The Moon

First-person puzzle game Scale, where you solve problems by shrinking or growing stuff, is coming along nicely. By “coming along nicely,” we mean “becoming more and more insanely awesome,” in this case. Just look at the video above. Look at it. Swimming is no longer an acceptable way to find treasure underwater. Incidentally, Scale‘s Kickstarter…

What If The Thundercats Had Been Real Cats?

Not a question that may have ever kept you up at night, but it might now, when you consider how much more interesting the show would have been if it had been about cat problems, and not cat people problems. In this video by Animation Domination, we see what would have happened if Lion-O and…

You Could Own A Very Pretty White Xbox One

I’m coming around to the look of the black Xbox One, but like the original Xbox, I think the console looks betterin white.

A Guy Had To Protest Outside A Blockbuster To Get A PS4 Refund

Adam Sibley had preordered a PlayStation 4 from his local Blockbuster. He later decided to cancel that preorder.

Sibley’s local store, in Dunstable in the UK, had initially refused his request for a cash refund on the money…

Sounds Like Destiny Probably Won’t Be Coming To PC

I wrote a headline in May that read “Destiny Might Actually Come To PC“. So today is a total downer.

Square Enix Game Improved With Silly Real Faces

We told you about the facial mapping tech in Square Enix’s vampire hunting game, Bloodmasque, back in July, but it wasn’t until today that we truly got to see how ridiculous the game can get if you use the feature in the right way. By ‘the right way’ I mean ‘uploading yourself making faces that…

A German Shepard Steals The Show In The New Call of Duty

​One-Man Chrono Trigger Musical Performance Gets Surprisingly Epic

We’ve seen it plenty of times: A guy sits in a room with a bunch of instruments, performing music from a cartoon or video game. Sometimes the performance is only decent. Sometimes, it’s excellent. This is one of those second times. Here’s Collarblind Music with a one-man performance of Yasunori Mitsuda’s Millenial Fair theme from…

Some companies advertise their games through trailers and sizzle reels; Nintendo advertises their games by making ridiculous videos of their developers running around through New York City.

The PS4’s Baseball Game Just Saved Thousands of Promising Careers

There’s a ritual dedicated sports gamers go through with each new season. The excitement of peeling the shrinkwrap off the latest edition of NHL or NBA 2K quickly gives way to the realization that, once again, we’re going to throw away our promising careers.

The Best Gamers on the Planet Are Trying to Kill Batman

The writer who teams up two of the world’s most popular superheroes every month says that Superman probably plays a lot of iPhone games. Batman?
