Lazlow Saved Grand Theft Auto‘s Radio Station Master Recordings from Superstorm Sandy
Lazlow Jones co-wrote the radio scripts for all the Grand Theft Auto games (save Chinatown Wars, of course) going back to III, and appears as a radio personality in all of the games. He also, evidently, has all of the master copies of the recordings. In his home. Which is on Long Island. Or, well,…

Winter is coming, and we’re going to need gloves. Not just any gloves, mind you, but gloves that allow us to interface with the touchscreen devices that have become such a huge part of our everyday lives over the past few years. I’ve been looking for a good pair for ages. I believe I’ve finally…

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house, these are the games that are keeping parents from cooking and wrapping presents and the children from stumbling over internet porn.

Avatar 2 Could Look Even More Like A Video Game Than The Hobbit Does. But That Might Not Be A Bad Thing.
As our own Kirk Hamilton put it, “The Hobbit feels like a video game. That’s not a good thing.” Filmed and projected at 48 frames per second, a process that’s supposed to revolutionize film, The Hobbit was unbearably jarring to some, like a soap opera or a poorly optimized image on an LED television.

Batman Is A Huge Jerk And He’s Ruining Christmas
This is what you get for inviting Batman over for Christmas, though to be fair I’m not sure they actually invited him. Then again, maybe they should have expected that the Dark Knight would drop by at some point—this has apparently happened to them before. Remember Max, the kid who terrorizes his mother as Batman…

Little Inferno Is A Delightfully Grim Tale. But Its Best Story Is A Hidden One.
Maybe it’s because Little Inferno doesn’t present the side of Armageddon that we’re used to seeing in games, but you might not even pick up on its apocalyptic storyline. Yet as I burned prize after prize in my Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace, a thought tugged at the back of my mind: why am I doing…

The Sports Video Games of the Year
Rarely considered for overall video-game-of-the-year honors, the uncommon diversity of sports video games, and the unique demands placed on them to recreate both a real-world sport and the real-life experiences associated with it, support their own class of awards more than any other genre.

This Is Where I Got My Awesome Dark Souls Hoodie

With the sigil and color scheme of the lovable character Solaire emblazoned on it, it’s one of my most prized possessions.

Someone Made A Homemade Version Of The Man Of Steel Trailer

The special effects just seem so much more realistic The video above has the amateur version side-by-side with the official Man of Steel trailer so you can see exactly how they compare.

What The Hell Is Up With The New Black Isle? [Update]
Black Isle was one of the great game studios of its era, but the visionary company that existed in the 90s and early oughts is no more, and its revival is something else entirely—something that seems more sketchy every day. After months of silence since its August announcement, the new Black Isle opened its virtual…
