Let’s Be Cool, Guys. The Xbox One And PS4 Aren’t Even Out Yet.

The Xbox One and PS4 are nearly upon us. People are excited. Some people are also, as people are prone to be, getting a little weird. “Fans” of both systems are eager to prove that one console is somehow “better” than the other, and will use any piece of information they get their hands on…

Morning everyone! Hope you weren’t out late getting hammered and stealing circus animals. Accused Child Predator Allegedly Used Nintendo’s SwapNote Service A Guy Had To Protest Outside A Blockbuster To Get A PS4 Refund Drunk Kids Steal Llama, Party With Llama Army Of 200 BC

Aaand nailed it. That’s one unorthodox GTA V stunt move, but it works! XR33P3E11X has more of these in his excellent montage video. Now do a perfect drop from similar heights into a half pipe while riding a bike. That would look neat. Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of…

The Licensed Rambo First-Person Shooter Looks Kick-Ass. No, Really!

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…

Drunk Kids Steal Llama, Party With Llama

Five French teenagers have been arrested after getting drunk, kidnapping a llama and, according to The Independent, “taking on him on a tour of Bordeaux via the city’s tram system”.

Help Make A Game With The Greatest Star Wars Writer Of Our Time

There are only a handful of people who have ever made something as Star Warsy as the original trilogy felt. A handful of Lucasarts games like Dark Forces, maaaybe some comics, and the books of author Timothy Zahn. Who, it turns out, now wants to make a video game. Not a Star Wars game, but…

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. Sadly, the only white consoles in existence have been destined for the homesof Microsoft employees. All except for one. It’s being auctioned on eBay, with proceeds going to the children’s charity GamesAid.…

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. It turned out to be an even worse idea than preordering from Blockbuster in the first place. 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. While there was initial hope that the 360/PS3/PS4/XB1 shooter would make the jump to the personal computer, a lot of that has been extinguished last week following comments from Bungie community manager Eric Osborne (as…

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

Sure, Call of Duty: Ghosts could sometimes feel kind of eh, but it wasn’t all bad. In fact, the levels where you got to hang out with Riley the dog, if not play as Riley, are excellent. Hell. Riley straight up stole the show. I mean, look at the bugger. He’s charming. The first time…

​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…

Watch The Designer Of Zelda Get Chased Around NYC

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. Via NintendoEverything, here’s a video of Zelda designer Eiji Aonuma getting chased by Nintendo PR people through the streets of Manhattan, because why not?

Here’s Call of Duty: Ghosts Compared on PS3, 360 & PS4

Are you curious as to what Call of Duty looks like on current gen hardware versus next gen hardware? Here’s an IGN video that should help. It’s worth noting that the Xbox One is missing from this comparison footage—still, this should give you a general idea of what kinds of improvements next gen will bring,…

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. With MLB The Show, that will soon come to an end.…

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? Civilization all the way, with old school board games in the mix, too. But a next-next-next-generation console being used by a supervillain might prove to be more than either the…
