Did you ever want to play first-person shooter with motion controls but wasn’t on the Wii and looked like a real gun? Well then this is definitely the controller for you. Okay, so it’s a bit more immersive than the Wii remote, looking like an actual gun an all, but aside from a few more …

I find it funny that one of the most iconic items in Dishonored, is the mask. Like, it’s the products primary branding despite there also being a talking heart. I guess I feel that way about a lot of first-person titles that have a really cool looking main character, but spend most of the game …

Lindsey Stirling is back, teaming up with pianist William Joseph, to give us a very classy, very energetic cover of the main theme from Halo. I always love these videos.

So according to Kotaku, a judge has declared that the use of college sports player’s likeness in games is not protected under Free Speech. This could come as a pretty debilitating blow to EA who every year makes lots of money off of sports game based on college teams. Traditionally, college players are not …

Erik G — Thu, 23 May 2013 15:00:26 +0000

Not long after the Xbox One event, Kotaku published an article about what the Japanese market thought of the new console.

Sigh, so I don’t really care about the Batman Arkham games. I was kind of liking Arkham City until I realized that a lot of it was just going from point A to point B in a mostly empty city. When word first leaked that the next game was a prequel called Arkham Origins I …

Man-At-Arms: Cloud’s Buster Sword Sure is Heavy

If anyone ever tells you that Cloud’s Buster Sword is unrealistic…they’re right! Holy moly this thing is huge and unsurprisingly, it weighs a lot. I think I might ask him to make Nightmare’s Soul Edge.

So….Let’s Talk About the Xbox One

So, about that Xbox One. Yeah, let’s talk about that. I think the general consensus is that the presentation, and everything after it, was a complete and utter mess. That isn’t to say that the new Microsoft console didn’t have some great highlights, it just lost more points than earned them, at least with me. …
