Keep Fans Happy—Or Break Their Hearts—as an NFL Owner in Madden 25

If they can live with themselves, NFL fans will be able to do some truly sick and depraved things this year with the new Madden video game. Like charge fans $30 for a beer. Like buy out the Green Bay Packers. Like drive that franchise down to Mexico in the middle of the night, and…

Here Are The Only Images We Have Of The PS4 So Far

The world’s first reveal of the PlayStation 4 hit earlier today. Yes, it was blurry. And frantic. But those 39 seconds held some images of actual details from the upcoming console. We just don’t know what they are yet. So let’s take some guesses. Please tell us what you think each part does, won’t you?…

Disappointing Game & Wario “Crowdfarter” Campaign Lacks Actual Farts [Update]

I’m just saying. I’M JUST SAYING. If you’re going to call the promotional campaign for your game a “Crowdfarter” and talk ceaselessly about farts, said promotional campaign had best feature some actual flatulence. In that respect, Game & Wario‘s goofy new promotional campaign is a disappointment. You can head over to the page and “donate”…

In An Alternate Universe, These Freakish Frankenstein Pokémon Are Real

Alex Onsager created Pokemon Fusion—a website which lets you splice together the sprites of two different Pokémon, allowing you to create a fresh, possibly horrifying combination—a few years ago. The website isn’t new. This past weekend, however, Tumblr artists took it upon themselves to create artistic renditions of their favorite fusions. The results are fantastic.…

New Star Wars TV Series Will Take Place Between Episodes III And IV

Reeling from the recent cancellation of Star Wars: The Clone Wars? You may or may not be pleased to know that Disney/Lucasfilm just announced a new animated series in the massive sci-fi universe.

What the Next PlayStation and Xbox Need to Get Right

Skittles or Steak? I hate to admit it, but I like both. For me, it is not a choice. Nothing quite works like a steak for dinner. But, when I go to the movies, and I want to indulge, it’s Skittles for me. It is a bit embarrassing to admit. For me, it’s Skittles and…

Here Is a Real PS4 Teaser Video

This is an official video for Sony’s next home console, not like the flashier fake that made the rounds last week. Not a lot to go on here, but it’ll probably be black, right? And square? Of course, this new drip of marketing represents Sony trying to play spoiler to the imminent reveal of Microsoft’s…

Imagine If This Was How Microsoft Revealed Their New Xbox Tomorrow

Microsoft is holding a conference tomorrow for their big reveal: the next Xbox. That means there is one day left for the Internet to have fun with rumors, jokes and parodies. Machinima, not one to miss out, took advantage of the last remaining day before the new Xbox becomes a real-life thing and our jokes…

Yes, Hardware, Your Art Still Looks Lovely

Here’s another trailer for the upcoming Hardware: Shipbreakers, a strategy title being worked on by some ex-Homeworld devs. It looks great, but then, so has everything else the team has released so far. Some gameplay footage would look a lot better.

And That’s Why Doctor Doom Is So Damn Awesome

Doctor Doom’s schemes figure big into Gazillion Entertainment’s Diablo-esque Marvel Heroes. It makes sense — he’s second only to Galactus when it comes to go-to Marvel video game bad guys, and in this first installment of the “Chronicles of Doom,” a four-part motion comic leading up to the game’s June 4 launch, Victor Von Doom…

The Next Batman Game Still Has A Lot To Prove

The excellent, expansive Batman: Arkham City was always going to be a tough act to follow, and Batman: Arkham Origins, this fall’s next in the series, does not immediately make a strong case that it will surpass its predecessor. That may seem like a harsh assessment of a game that was just shown to press…

Nintendo Japan’s Early-90s VHS Commercials Are Incredible

Reader Toad has got hold of a ton of old VHS promos for Nintendo games, played in game stores in Japan in the early 1990s. These aren’t short TV spots or trailers. They’re long, detailed looks at each game, some running for over 5 minutes and including custom animation and live-action sequences. Some of the…

When Space Combat Games Are Also MOBA Games

The world does not need any more MOBA (League of Legends, DOTA 2) games, thanks. The ones we’ve got are more than enough for that crowd. What we do need more of, though, are space combat games, and if they’ve got to try and bring something fresh to the MOBA genre to do it, then…

What Is This Trials Level I Don’t Even…

I’ve watched this custom Trials Evolution stage twice now. The first time with white knuckles. The second time thinking I’d gone quite mad. Trials Evolution – Illusion 1800 [Custom Track] 1080p HD [YouTube, via Simon Carless]

You Might Soon Be Able To Draw Your Own Video Games

Pixel Press appears to hit that sweet spot where technology, ambition and design come together to bring to life something you could once only dream about. It’s part-game, part-app which comes in two parts. The first is a basic sketching kit, a downloadable and printable template that’s basically just an enormous sheet of squares. Users…

Samus Dreams Of Amazing Cosplay

Bit of a quiet week in cosplay last week, so there’s not much new stuff to share. Thankfully, there’s some new shots of favourite old costumes to get us through the dry spell. I’ll never get tired of seeing cel-shaded Borderlands cosplay. Never. Such a simple but effective touch. I will also post any and…
