Uh oh. Those services show players where monsters will spawn in Pokémon Go? You know, the ones that eeeeveryone is using? Well, the creators of Pokémon Go don’t sound very fond of them. Actually, it sounds like the developers of Pokémon Go may make an effort to shut those programs/websites/apps down, judging from a recent…

There was a Doom board game released in 2004. This isn’t it. This one is brand new. Made by the same company (Fantasy Flight) behind the original, 2016’s Doom is based on the look of the new game, and is modelled a lot more closely on Fantasy Flight’s Imperial Assault (right down to the games…

Pump It Up player Drake Davis (aka Shockwave) has some fancy feet that appear to defy known laws of physics.

For the past several days I’ve literally been running an experiment with Pokémon Go, trying to hatch eggs while running through Brooklyn and Manhattan. I ran enough that I should have hatched the 10km egg I was incubating in the game, but I did not. For nearly 20km, its shell remained intact. This defies the…

The scene: Your RPG hero is standing before the evil Overlord, the final boss of the game. As they start to battle, your hero suddenly forgets everything—why he’s fighting, who his friends are, and what he’s doing there in the first place.

Severed, the highly praised tap ‘n swipe action game from Drinkbox Studios, has moved from Vita to iOS. Evan Narcisse reallydug what he played of Severed, and I’m psyched to check it out on my iPad tonight!
Game trailers tend to be forgettable things. Explosive diversions paving the way for a marketing campaign that hits you, tries to sell you something then fades into nothingness as the next hype train takes its place. ODST’s live-action clip, though, lingers long after the game has disappeared off the charts. I watched this the other…

Of all the complaints levelled against the Wii U over the years, the most common one is usually “there aren’t any games”.

Once billed as a full-fledged StarCraft MMO way back in 2011, StarCraft Universe ultimately downsized into a less-massive, still-multiplayer RPG that received Blizzard’s approval and picked up $84,000 on Kickstarter. Now it’s finally a thing you can play. Just a reminder: this is the mod that got announced in 2011 as World of StarCraft, ran…
