A New Justice League Video Game is Not Something That Should Sneak Up on You

I should not be finding out a game starring The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman a week before release. I need more time to prep myself for Justice League: Earth’s Final Defense, due out by the end of this month for iOS. I certainly shouldn’t be finding out about it from a…

No Wonder Luigi’s Scared in That Mansion, it Looks Terrifying

Thanks to the wonder of what I’m guessing is Garry’s Mod, Luigi’s GameCube (and upcoming 3DS) mansion gets a slightly more scary makeover courtesy of some new guests. [via Butts Bunny]

Here’s What Wasteland 2 Looks Like (So Far)

I’m wary of even calling this a screenshot, given (as it says at the bottom of the image) it’s more useful just as a guide for the kind of art style the game will employ. But if you were wondering what kind of art a fan-funded sequel to the game that inspired Fallout would would…

The Best of Last Week’s Cosplay Craps All Over Team Fortress 2’s Head

I’m warning you: there’s some terrific cosplay on show in this week’s Fancy Pants roundup. Part of it comes the regular way: people making perfect costumes of recognisable characters then having nice photos taken of them wearing it. But some of it comes from that other place terrific cosplay comes from; namely, picking a character…

Wow, the Ouya Console is Tiny

Amidst all the talk of the fancy new Ouya console, and all its promise and possibilities, the more specific, physical aspects of the machine have gone largely unnoticed. Which is weird, because the design of the console itself is the thing I find most interesting. Especially when you consider its size. While looking at press…

Adventure Time’s Beemo is a Game Boy AND a Camera

Beemo, the true star of TV series Adventure Time, isn’t just an adorable little portable gaming system with more than a passing resemblance to Nintendo’s Game Boy. He/she/it is also an alarm clock, music player, video projector and, in this awesome 3D image, a camera. If you thought at first this was an action figure,…

“God Mode” Exploit Found in Diablo III, Makes Players Invincible

A loophole has reportedly been found in Diablo III that can, in effect, make you invincible. Which for a game that has a real-money auction house attached to it could be a bit of a problem. While it only works for the Wizard class, there’s apparently no restriction on which game mode (normal or harder)…

Sounds Like Assassin’s Creed III is Getting a TON of DLC

We were sent this image (below) over the weekend, reportedly a little note sent out by Ubisoft to GameStop stores patting them all on the back for their stellar efforts in bugging enough of you into preordering a game that they hit a quota. After that’s done, though, we’re told that Ubisoft has formed a…

Here, Two Trailers for the New Superman Movie

These are, I promise you, teaser trailers for the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. One narrated by Kevin Costner, the other by Russell Crowe. They get to the Superman part eventually There’s no speeding trains or bullets, but then, by all accounts this is supposed to be a much more serious Superman movie than…

Star Wars’ Best Scenes Recreated With Action Figures (by a Comedian)

If you’re wondering why, at least initially, so many lines are “wrong”, see again his job description, above. Collin Mochire’s…

A Meaningless Settlement Keeps a Clipboard Quarterback in the Game

Twenty-seven million dollars is a lot of money. But it’s not significant. Not in the case of the Madden monopoly lawsuit. In fact, I’m struck by how meaningless all of the terms are in its settlement. Pecover vs. Electronic Arts generated enormous populist sympathy when it was filed in 2008 because it sought to nullify…
