The new PC game Tick Tock Bang Bang serves up some of the best slo-mo action out there. It’s a colorful thriller full of giant robots and insane stunts. In this critical look, I’ll show you how a very simple design choice leads to spectacular results! Transcript: I’m often blown away by how much games…
Capcom has officially acknowledgedthe uselessness of the finger in the RE7 demo, according to a teaser sent to folks who signed up for the ambassador program. Does this mean that the demo will get an update of some sort? Here’s the full picture, for those of you interested: For those of you who are completely…
Confession: I haven’t played the original Master of Orion since, like, 1995. So trying to think back to the series now in 2016, with a reboot on the way, has been a strange experience. I remember it being good. Wonderful, even. It was a strategy game that I’m pretty sure had some smart ideas about…
It’s online. There are young, attractive people. But there’s no nudity. There’s no sex. But there’s a ton of food. This article was originally published on December 16, 2013. Welcome to the world of “mok-bang,” a mash up of the Korean words for “eating” and “broadcast.” Earlier this year, people online in South Korea were…
That *thud* you hear is the sound of Polyphony boss and Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi throwing the PS3 under the bus in this IGN interview
It’s 2016 and everyone is playing Overwatch Everyone has opinions on Overwatch Specifically: everyone hates everyone who plays Overwatch for a number of different reasons. They hate Bastion because fuck Bastion. They hate Mei because what the hell man. They hate Torbjorn because screw turrets forever. I am here to say something. I am everything…
Via PC Gamer, there is now a mod which turns the graffiti in Left 4 Dead 2 into…dumb Jaden Smith tweets.
A 23 year-old Australian man has avoided a prison term over his role in a series of hacks targeting League of Legends and its player database. The ABC reports that Shane Stephen Duffy, while found not to have been directly involved in the original 2011 hacks themselves (which contradicts earlier claims that he had been),…
Microsoft’s big 7GB free update to Halo 5 yesterday gave the game a new PvE mode called Warzone Firefight. You can watch a full match in the video above. Initial impressions: mixed, leaning positive. There’s pros and cons. You join up to seven other players for what will hopefully be five rounds of escalating action.…
At the start of some Overwatch levels, you can find basketballs aboard the Overwatch crew’s trademark sky limo. They’re fully physics-enabled, so you can blast them to your heart’s content. Recently, Blizzard changed them—for the worse, imo. Let’s start with the good: in the wake of Overwatch’s recent big patch, if you sink a shot,…
Sixteen characters made the cut for Street Fighter V, but they weren’t the only ones designed for the game. Capcom have shared some sketches of fighters who were created but failed to make the finished product, and yeah, it’s pretty easy seeing why most of them died where they did. First up is a “Clumsy…
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, which may or may not intentionally have an “XVI” in its title, launched today for iOS and Android. It’s a free-to-play RPG with towns, NPCS, turn-based combat, and an actual story I’ve poked around in Brave Exvius a bit and found it to be overwhelming albeit kinda fun. It’s reminiscent of…
This week, The Division got its first major expansion. It adds some pretty cool stuff to the game, but I’ve been having a hard time getting into it. Turns out once you’ve fallen off the Division train, it’s hard to get back on. The Division: Underground is, in theory, just the sort of thing the…
There’s a free demo of id Software’s excellent Doom revival right now. It was supposed to be removed already, but it’s proven pretty popular. This brief taste of Doom was announced at E3 and treated as news, but since when did a demo become something to be celebrated? When publisher Bethesda Softworks revealed Doom was…
Look, I realize that Overwatch’s Play of the Game system is flawed. When it comes down to it, I’m usually just happy if my team won. But COME ON, this is some bullshit. At the very start of a match on King’s Row, I took down like half the opposing team: My team ultimately won,…
A little bit of P.T. mixed in with The Stanley Parable, Asemblance is a video game experience that totally messed with my head. What Asemblance does really well is ambiguity: you will spend most of your time wondering if aspects that the game presents are actually real. But let’s back up for a second here.…
I’m trying to get into The Division’s new Underground DLC, but apparently no one wants me in their group. Two nights ago, I was matchmaking my way into the new randomized four-player co-op Underground missions in Ubisoft’s morose open-world shooter. I was having a grand old time. Last night, however, I tried to do the…
Squirreled away in a secret room within Monstro Town, a cliffside hamlet in Super Mario RPG, there’s a purple-skinned warrior named Culex. You can go the whole game without ever meeting this man; finding him requires you to backtrack to an earlier town, purchase a pricey set of fireworks, and trade it to an NPC…
