Chinese Overwatch Clone Has Some Giant Balls

The Chinese market is no stranger to brazen rip-offs of popular Western games, but even taking that into account this Overwatch clone is something else.

Wonder Woman Figure Is So Lifelike It’s A Little Unsettling

Hot Toys have a 1/6 scale (11.5″/29cm) Wonder Woman figure out next year. As is pretty standard with their big movie releases, it looks fantastic.

Mahir Sümer has an idea for anyone flashy about their game collections but bummed there aren’t many Nintendo Switch games to actually put on a shelf at the moment: make fake cases for the digital games you’ve picked up.

How much effort should today’s console makers put into keeping the classics in print and playable on modern hardware? There’s a lot of room for debate, but one PlayStation exec just weighed in with what has to be the Worst Possible Take. The Take isn’t just about backward compatibility, or about what Sony plans to…

Modder Adds Kirby With Human Feet To Smash Bros.

It’s Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man The Fighting Game

It was bound to happen sooner or later. There were just too many used car dealerships, too many store grand openings or going out-of-business sales. The flailing inflatable tube people that vie for our attention along our nation’s highways take up flailing arms against each other in Inflatality. Now on Steam Greenlight from indie development…
