When some of the founders of Burnout developer Criterion Games left, we weren’t sure what they were building, and now we know: an extreme golf game called Dangerous Golf. It’s coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC in May, and looks like the weirdness you’d expect from the crew who made Burnout

The Steam Players Who Fight Against ‘Censorship’

The Cut Content Police is a Steam Group with one goal: to warn people about games that have been “in some way censored due to cut, edited, changed, [or] modified content.” As we covered last year, there are a number of Japanese pornographic games that have tweaked how much nudity they actually feature,all so that…

The New LEGO Marvel Game Does Ridiculous Things To The Avengers

The first LEGO game based on Marvel’s cinematic universe is here, and wait until you see the wonderful ways the folks at TT Games have twisted the first Avengers film for comedic effect. LEGO Marvel Superheroes is an excellent game, but it’s an original game. That means the developers got to develop their own story,…

Impossible Civilization V Scenario Ends With An Unexpected Twist

Swedish YouTuber Kilian decided to show us how to beat the game on the hardest difficulty in 50 turns. While playing as Venice, with domination victory only. Those are factors that’d make winning pretty much impossible. It’s a parody video (a really smart one), so things go out of control pretty quickly. Venetians cannot train…

Instead of competitive multiplayer, Homefront: The Revolution is getting a four-player online co-op mode in May. Quite an interesting path for a fairly low-interest game like Homefront to have co-op multiplayer. But it certainly could be refreshing.

Havana from Assassin’s Creed IV, Recreated in Minecraft

Who needs a vacation to the Carribeans when you can just boot up this lovely Assassin’s Creed Havana map in Minecraft? The majority of people, probably. But hey, it’s still a pretty cool build. It’s cool enough to have its very own trailer, even: It’s understandable, considering the map has been under construction since 2013.…

Today, Sony announced that it is bringing together Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment in a new entity. It’s called Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Capcom has released a second trailer (above) for their Resident Evil-themed competitive shooter, Umbrella Corps., along with some additional info: The game will cost $30, will be on PC and PS4, and is coming out in May. Brian’s played the game in September—if you wanna hear his impressions, head over here

If you understand this reference, you should probably play LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. I’m currently battling the urge to collect all the bits while playing through the game for review, but in terms of pure Marvel cinematic universe fan service it’s a magical place.

The Halo community is rallying to help support player Adam Bartels, who lost his two daughters in a house fire last week. They’re collecting money at GoFundMe and have raised over $18,000 so far.

That Time Ubisoft Made a Spanking Party Game For The Wii

We Dare was more famous for its commercial than its gameplay, largely because the backlash to the trailer was so strong that Ubisoft basically cancelled it. Mini-game collections existed before Nintendo launched the Wii in 2006, but the explosive popularity of Wii Sports, combined with the new possibilities of motion controls, meant every publisher under…

Guitar Hero Player Finds Perfect Way To Get Around YouTube’s Bullshit

GuitarHeroFailure says he uploaded “Bark at the Moon” to YouTube, but the song was taken down—presumably due to YouTube’s automated copyright system. As you may already know, YouTube is particularly aggro about music. It’s cool, though. GuitarHeroFailure re-uploaded the video with a different audio track, and honestly? I think this is wayyyy better. Make sure…

TotalBiscuit Quits Social Media With Emotional Goodbye

John “TotalBiscuit” Bain is not the first to struggle with social media as he’s become more popular, nor is he the first to announce he’s quitting a service like Twitter. But uniquely, the YouTube star is living with terminal cancer, and his statement on why he’s leaving is gut-wrenching and understandable. Bain first discussed his…

Five Nights at Freddy’s RPG Pulled Off Steam Due To Bad Reviews

Last week, FNAF World launched on Steam early, surprising everyone. A day later, Scott Cawthon, its developer, apologized for rushing the game and pushing it out on Steam without important features. And today, the game has been taken off of Steam entirely. Writing on the Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 news page, Scott Cawthon said…

The X-Files Premiere Was Terrible And I Still Loved It

It’s easy to sneer at Hollywood’s obsession with sequels and reboots, but eventually, the dice rolls in your direction. One person’s cynicism is another’s nostalgia. For me, it’s The X-Files, a show that defined my childhood. Last night was a big deal—The X-Files was back. It kinda sucked, and I definitely don’t care. Now nearly…

Mortal Kombat X’s New Tri-Borg Is Really Four Robots in One

One of the new characters coming to Mortal Kombat X is an amalgam of three man-machine characters from the fighting game franchise’s history. But it turns out that there’s another robot ninja lurking inside that chassis. One who makes things a whole lot cooler. During the Season 2 Finals of competitive gaming promotion ESL, fans…

Super Bowl Commercial Shows Pokémon Would Look Amazing In Real Life

Up until the very end of this commercial, the entire thing comes across as a Nike ad—not something about Pokémon. That’s just how fierce it is. As of late, Pokémon advertisements have really stepped up their game. I think back on the stuff for Pokémon Go, the upcoming mobile spin-off for example…. Both of these…

Street Fighter V, Turned Into Nightmare Fuel

Things get pretty freaky when you switch up the movesets and animations available to your favorite Street Fighter character. Street Fighter V Mods ( SFV ) has spent some time messing with the fighting game, and the results are as strange as they are hilarious. Take, for instance, Laura. Typically, she looks like this: …but…

Street Fighter V won’t have an in-depth story mode when it launches on February 16, but Capcom’s announced a “cinematic expansion” coming next June for free. It’ll apparently go “deep” into the series’ mythology, taking place between the events of Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III Contact the author at [email protected]
