When the Wii U launched, Nintendo Land was the game that came with the system’s Deluxe Set configuration. The collection of themed games seemed like the best bet to recapture the masses who latched onto Wii Sports with Nintendo’s last-gen Wii system. But now Nintendo’s hoping that Mario & Luigi will do the trick in…
Morning! Here’s some interesting stuff you missed overnight: Nintendo Has Limited Edition 3DS XLs. They’re Pretty Hot. Hey, Remember The Xbox 360’s HD-DVD Drive? It Was A Thing. Super Mario 3D World Continues To Look Amazing Ellen Page, Giant Robots And Snazzy Colors
Yeah, the name could have been snappier, but if you’re in need of a new Wii U game to look out for, they don’t get more promising than this. What you’re seeing up top is a refreshingly exhaustive (it’s six minutes long!) look at gameplay from the upcoming Super Mario 3D World, courtesy of Nintendo…
Nintendo Japan just revealed two new flavours of 3DS, and for once, they’re not long-term additions to the line. These puppies are strictly limited edition. Going on sale on November 28, they’ll retail for ¥19,900 (USD$205). They might come to the West. They might not. Nintendo works in mysterious ways. Want that orange one. So.…
Karaoke is fun for some. For many, though, even with booze involved, it tends to be an exercise in fear and awkwardness. So hopefully this new card game can help. Karaokards is actually two games in one. Here’s the pitch: So when you support Karaokards you’re getting two different games: Karaokards Classic to play during…
Military games that feature robotic combat drones are normally labelled as “futuristic”, or “near future”. Might need to change that to “contemporary” real soon. This video shows demonstrations by a number of companies, who were recently presenting their combat robots in front of the US military. Yes, that is a robot firing an MG-240 machine…
It’s a dream combination, I know, so it’s weird it’s taken this long to do it. But hey, Enemy Starfighter is just that: a space combat game with the art style (and some ship design influence) from the Homeworld series. It’s due for Windows, Mac and Linux, and along with space combat also promises some…
Remember, the Xbox One’s new achievement display does more than just look fresher. It also lets multiple people earn separate achievements from within the same game, even logged onto the same console, and display that as its own colour-coded pop-up. Here’s an example, taken from around the 11:15 mark in this video You’ll notice at…
Oh Microsoft. What were you thinking? When people point to Microsoft’s biggest folly of the last hardware generation, they’ll normally suggest either the Red Ring Of Death pandemic or an unhealthy obsession with Kinect. Both of those have been problems for Microsoft, sure, and I’m sure we’ll get to covering both of them in our…
Looks like Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin Jr. got himself a steal. Teammate and All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman knows the score. [thanks Kevin!]
The Space May Be Dead, But It’s Still Pretty. The latest from Dead End Thrills: Grandiose shots of Dead Space 3.
Dadliest Voices: check out this new footage of Octodad: Dadliest catch, one of the silliest titles coming to the PS4 (and PC later this year). Now it has voice-acting! But also/more importantly: lots of hijinks.
Today, Square Enix released a newly updated version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution called the Director’s Cut. It makes a good number of improvements and additions to an already great game. To this day, I regularly have fun monkeying around in Deus Ex. The more I push it, the more I find weird and surprising…
In a matter of weeks, EA’s Battlefield 4 and Activision’s Call of Duty: Ghosts will represent their respective series in the usual fall battle for the attentions of first-person shooter fans. Predictably, the competition between the two games has recently been heating up. You could say it’s turned into a real… dogfight. How did dogs…
Get your clicking fingers ready: registration for PAX East 2014 starts tomorrow afternoon. It’s safe to say that tickets will be sold out within the first few hours, so keep an eye out!
Outrage after outrage, man. First Valve practically destroysCounter-Strike: Global Offensive by daring to mess with the most integral part of the experience, the chickens. Now they’re at it again with Dota 2—the latest patch messes with the bongs. Or well. They’re technically not bongs. Players just call them bongs. The point is, there used to…
Look, Franklin, you really need to sort your life out. Taking your dog for a nice, serene walk is all well and good. But randomly murdering some poor innocents outside of Taco Bomb is just wrong. You’re letting your “friends” get the better of you. But it’s not your fault. It was all preordained. Wish…

I was just chatting with Chris Person about Game of the Year contenders, and Gone Home was certainly a part of the conversation. If you haven’t played it yet, you’re missing out, and it’s $10 today on the official site. [Gone Home] Last Day to vote on your favorite gaming keyboard Tell us what you…
Time was, there were loads of rootin’, tootin’ cowboy comics on spinner racks everywhere. But none of those books were narrated by a dead bunny. That’s only the tiniest piece of the macabre brilliance inside the first issue of Pretty Deadly, an acid-trip twisted fairy tale western which comes out tomorrow. Along with romance and…
