Five Must-Watch Anime Of Fall 2016

Compared to the summer’s plush anime selection, Fall 2016’s offerings are a little slim. We had Berserk, Orange, Mob Psycho 100, ReLIFE, 91 Days and other high-impact titles scattered across shonen, fantasy, shoujo and historical fiction genres. This season’s a little different. My top pics for this season are more about girls and female audiences.…

There are some cool games available on PS Plus this month. We loved Invisible, Inc., and we had a great time with Stories: The Path of Destinies. Several games are available across platforms, too.

The Dopest Dishonored 2 Unconscious Body Party

Friends, I have been bested. You might remember that I’ve made it my life goal to arrange unconscious bodies in stealth games so that it looks like they just got done having sick parties, and Dishonored 2 is the current canvas for my art. Well, I got to be (arguably) the master of my craft…

Overwatch Cheaters Thought They Were Using Undetectable Cheats, But Got Banned Anyway [Updated]

Overwatch got an update yesterday. The biggest addition was a new control map on the test server where you can play in traffic. However, a major wave of bans came alongside the update as well, with some players complaining that it seems to have caught previously undetectable cheat programs. A post on the official Overwatch…

Years Later, Rockstar Releases New PC Patch For GTA IV

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been sitting around wondering when the next next Grand Theft Auto IV PC patch is going to hit. Wait no longer. I’m actually not entirely kidding—I’ve been wanting to replay GTA IV for a while now, and have been bummed to find it so difficult to even start the…

10 Wild Ways GTA V Players Have Tried To Stop A Train

For years now, GTA V fans have tried their best to stop a digital train by any means necessary. Some schemes are logical. Others…not so much. Here are some of the most ridiculous ways GTA V fans have tried to stop the train. Spoilers, most of them didn’t work. But, as all good trainwrecks prove,…

Pokémon Sun and Moon Have An Incredible Elite Four Rematch Battle

Once you beat the Elite Four in Pokémon Sun and Moon, you can go back and defend the championship against new challengers. Some opponents, you can probably guess.

The Brazilian soccer team were on the way to Medellín, Colombia ahead of the first…

Red Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion arrive on PlayStation Now on December 6. Subscribers to Sony’s streaming game service can get their Marston on via PS4 or PC. I could have headlined this “Play Red Dead Redemption on PC Next Week,” but I’m not a monster.

Hidden deep in the world of Final Fantasy XV, there’s a dungeon unlike anything else in the game. Let me tell you how to find it—and why it’s so cool. (One tip: You can’t get there until you’ve finished the game.) Warning: We’re not going to spoil the dungeon’s features and surprises, but we will…

Australian Police Are Searching For A Bad Guy From Goldeneye

Call off the search, I’m pretty sure I shot this guy in Facility back in 1998. The NSW Police posted this e-fit image of a young man they’re looking for in relation to a failed carjacking in Cootamundra. If this image is accurate, the guy has also been moonlighting in many N64 games from the…

Netflix Adds Downloads For Your Offline Viewing Pleasure

One of the most bandwidth-hungry apps on smartphones and tablets, Netflix has been the bane of data caps for years. Today that changes with the addition of downloads. Find a show or movie, download it to your device and watch it on the subway, in an airplane, in one of the less considerate coffee shops.…

Player Uses A Pokémon Red Glitch To Quickly Beat Completely Different Game

Fun fact: the Game Boy Color’s memory doesn’t disappear when you turn it off. Players are taking advantage of this quirk in 2016, and using it to bend and break games in entirely new ways. MrCheeze recently uploaded a video showcasing what’s being called a “new kind of credits warp.” You might know the credit…

From Gold Farming To Gamergate, The Gaming Ties Of Donald Trump’s White House

Donald Trump’s cabinet is coming together, and it’s become impossible to ignore some real and direct connections to the world of video games, largely centering on his controversial picks for chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and national security adviser, Michael Flynn.

Watch Dogs 2 Runs Just Fine On PC

The first Watch Dogs game was a mess on PC. The sequel, thankfully, is not. I took the game for a spin last night on my almost-two-year-old PC and found that, after only one adjustment (turning v-sync on, as it was off by default and chopping up everything), the game’s default GeForce Experience optimized settings—normally…

Overwatch Outfits, As Reviewed By People Who Know Fashion

Overwatch is a cavalcade of character design. It’s almost — dare I say it — fashionable. But what do I know? I’m a 35 year-old games journalist. I own roughly 25 white t-shirts. Five don’t have stains. Yet. My solution: create a panel and ask the experts. This is Overwatch fashion, as reviewed by people…

Someone Leaked Final Fantasy XV‘s Ending Six Months Ago

Back in May, an anonymous poster on 4chan wrote up a bunch of plot points that he said were story spoilers for Final Fantasy XV. Nobody believed him. Well, about that… (Don’t stress: We’ll keep the spoilers out of this article.) As it turns out, this 4chan poster had leaked FFXV’s actual ending, complete with…
