Live-Action Mario Galaxy Might Make You A Little Queasy

When the folks atCorridor Digital realized they could warp footage from their new Gear 360 camera into tiny planets, a live-action Mario Galaxy video was the next logical step.

Here Are The First Trailers For The Ghost In The Shell Movie

Here’s your first brief look at Scarlett Johansson in motion in the new Ghost in the Shell movie, pointing guns and touching lady’s faces. Because movie trailers are the worst, there are actually five tiny trailers, each running around 10-15 seconds. To make things slightly more bearable, here’s the playlist version so the five clips…

Iceland Not In FIFA 17 After Pay Dispute With EA

Iceland, whose fairy-tale trip to the business end of Euro 2016 was one of the tournament’s highlights, should be in this year’s edition of FIFA. But they’re not, following a dispute with EA over how much Iceland’s football association would be paid for the team’s rights. While the tiny nation had never actually been in…

Look At This Borderlands PC Case

The cel-shading is so good that this doesn’t look like a photo. It looks like a 3D render that’s trying to look like a photo. It’s a custom build by Ford Ashton, a friend of drummerdks and, for now, it’s just a case, with no actual PC inside. Which is probably for the best. You…

No Man’s Sky, Recreated As A…Doom Mod

Over the course of three weeks, Robert Prest has been working on a Doom (well, Doom 2) mod that attempts to recreate much of the core experience of No Man’s Sky It’s missing some of the fancier stuff around the edges, like a seamless transition from space to planetary surface, but…for the most part, if…

Animator Quack Attack published a Berserk parody animation that, many views later, is still making me giggle like an idiot. “Welcome to Berserk” has protagonist Guts stoically standing still as horrible things happen around him, infinitely, forever. Take a look:

Virtual Reality Is A Nice Place To Play Card Games

Virtual reality can’t fix the disconnect between clicking a card and slamming it down on a table, but playing on a battlefield between two fantasy dimensions certainly helps distract from it. Watch us play High Voltage’s Dragon Front on the Oculus Rift and see for yourself. High Voltage Software might have had trouble landing original…

Popular Fan Game Pokémon Uranium Fully Ceases Development [Update]

A month ago, a Pokémon fan game with nine years of development got shut down by Nintendo. The creators didn’t seem particularly sad about it, though: over a million people downloaded the game, and the devs planned to continue supporting it for those people. But now, that’s changing. The Pokémon Uranium developers have announced that…

A Look At Steam’s Current Top Seller, Battlerite

Battlerite is an absurd name for a game but never fear because it’s a really good game! It’s a team based action MOBA by Stunlock Studios in early access for the PC right now. And it’s managed to tickle an itch for mayhem I never knew I had. On face value, there was nothing to…

Resident Evil 4 Changed Action Games Forever

Resident Evil 4 was released in HD on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One recently. It’s been years since I played and I was eager to give it another look. I found a game that lives up to the reputation, marrying strong action with a new perspective that altered games forever. I have friends who…

Charizard’s Pokémon Card Is Getting Beefed Up

Next month’s Evolutions expansion might be the end of the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s XY series, but it’s giving some of the very first cards in the 20-year-old game a powerful new beginning. Looks like Charizard’s lost a little weight. The art remains the same, but the numbers in the frames have changed. The Evolutions…

Players Celebrate As Star Wars Battlefront Cuts An Amusingly Controversial Feature

It’s rare that the removal of a feature from a video game makes fans of that game happy, but fans of Star Wars Battlefront seem pretty happy that, thanks to a new update, anyone playing as a Stormtrooper in the game is forced to keep their helmet on. “No more wretched storm troopers without helmets,”…

Blizzard Is Killing The Name ‘Battle.net’

It’s the end of an era for Blizzard, as the company announced today plans to say farewell to the name Battle.net, which they’ve used to refer to their internet platform since 1996. From a practical standpoint, nothing is changing, Blizzard says. But they’re ditching the name Battle.net, 20 years after the service launched. When Battle.net…

Paladins’ Developers Deny Cloning Overwatch

Paladins, a video game that looks very much like Overwatch, has taken some heat for its similarities to Blizzard’s popular team shooter—to the point where last night one of Paladins’ top developers felt compelled to write a big ol’ Reddit post explaining how it isn’t a clone at all. In the Reddit post, Hi-Rez Studios…

Destiny: Rise of Iron PSA: Go Climb The Mountain

One of my favorite new things in Destiny, a video game filled with horrible jumping puzzles, is a horrible jumping puzzle. Specifically: climbing a bigass mountain. The new social space in Rise of Iron, which came out yesterday, gives you access to a snowy mountain range called Felwinter’s Peak. The new social space, Iron Temple,…
