How The New Zelda Game Is Different (Hint: It’s Not Microtransactions)
I’ve done a lot of things in Zelda games—sailing, time travel, saving Hyrule…you name it. Much of it—the bulk of what you do in Zelda games—could be considered old hat, depending on who you ask. That’s kind of always the vague fear when there’s a new Zelda game, isn’t it? That it’ll be more of…

Cool Kid Goes On Local News as Slender Man, Nobody Gets The Reference
Video game costumes can be tough, sometimes. On the one hand, you’re showing your appreciation for something you truly love. On the other, you risk having to awkwardly explain over and over that your costume is from a video game. Well, that happened today. On the clip above, taken from local Canadian news, one kid…

So, Blink-182 will be performing the closing concert at BlizzCon this year, which takes place on November 8-9. In other breaking news, Blink-182 is relevant again? Although, you certainly don’t see lines like this in press releases every day: Unfortunately for fans of Blink-182’s “What’s My Age Again?” video, Anaheim city ordinances strictly forbid the…

What It Could Be Like To Play Games On PS4
Yesterday, Sony dropped a massive FAQ full of PS4 tidbits and details. While it’s certainly interesting, it’s also very long. You might not have the time or energy to read it all. So based on this FAQ, we thought we’d try a little thought experiment: let’s zip ahead to November 16, the day after the…

Here’s what’s going on Talk Among Yourselves, our reader-written blog: YourMotherIsAClassyLady places an anger-filled pre-order on calling GameStop a Last-Gen Zero. Zarnyx think Atlus deserves to be called a Last-Gen Hero, thanks to the publisher’s willingness to put out games that are more experimental and darker in tone. Mark of the Ninja gets the Last-Gen…

Here’s 30 Minutes of the PS4’s Awesome-Looking Space Combat Game

Russian Battlefield 4 Is Badass, Obviously
Land in a really cool way, right after jumping out from an exploding plane, then level the whole surrounding area with your friends. And do all of this with Battlefield 4‘s user interface laid over the whole thing. That’s the Russian way! The result is almost as intense as the game, as presented by MoranDays…

It happened! The Male Wii Fit Trainer is in Sakurai’s latest Super Smash Bros.

A Game Where You Fight Giant Monsters… And Diabetes
No, it’s not Captain Novolin. This one actually looks decent. A bit different, but decent. Over at Kickstarter, a group called Game Equals Life is attempting to gather money for what at first glance might look like an edutainment game, but actually isn’t. You’ve got a hero, see. A mage with a bitchin’ cannon. Their…

A Taste Of What Could’ve Been Had Nintendo Bought Star Wars
Hint: it would have been insane and filled with nostalgia. Okay, let’s be honest. Something like a full-length Star Wars-Nintendo mash-up movie could never, ever, ever have actually happened—which should certainly make us appreciate James Farr’s latest eight-minute masterpiece that much more, in which Link Skywalker faces Ganon-Darth and the evil Empire in a quest…

A Game About Dinner Parties, Dancing And Wooing Gentlemen. Yes.
Ever, Jane is the name of an MMO that’s, well, it’s different from any MMO you’ve ever played before. Or game, for that matter. It’s set not on an alien world, or post-apocalyptic wasteland, or fantasy kingdom of elves and orcs. It’s set in the world of…Jane Austen novels. And rather than being some kind…

This Is How I’d Like To See Kinect Being Used…
I’ve beenfairly critical of Kinect recently. It’s not that I don’t like the tech, just that I don’t think it works that well for video games, or hasn’t done to this point. But the actual technology itself, in terms of its application on life outside of video games, can be astounding and — occasionally —…
