I’d rather take an arrow to the knee Bethesda seems to be on a streak of trying to cash-in on already saturated markets. First it wasThe Elders Scrolls Online, and now it’s theHearthstone-like card game,The Elder Scrolls: Legends. Publishers can’t help but see the amount of money thatWorld of WarcraftandHearthstonerake in and not want a piece of the pie, but they don’t understand that everyone has already had their fill....
For a documentary E.T.for the Atari 2600 has a crazy story behind it, and it’s something any videogame fanshould learn about. Long story short, Atari crushed all the copies ofE.T.they couldn’t sell and buried it under concrete in a landfill. This was back in 1983, and now here we are 30 years later to find out Canadian-based Fuel Industries plan to excavate the Atari dump site for a documentary based on the Alamogordo landfill it’s located at....
Nothing beats a game with a good character creator — an easy way to lose countless hours without making much progress. Customization options can offer further immersion, as stories feel forged by either ourselves, an OC (Original Character), or a crossover. The technology and creativity behind these features have only advanced with time, delighting us in ways often unexpected, desperately needed, or uniquely creative. So, with that said, here are our picks for the best character creators in video games....
I consider the N64 to be my main stomping ground, comprising a large portion of my video game library. Although I recognize the considerable drawbacks of both the hardware and the era in which it was spawned, I love it all the same. I suppose the fact that it’s a contrasting mix of good and bad is really the cause of my attraction. The PS1 is too good. The Saturn is too lacking....
You have to pay your dues in the afterlife Itchin’ to get a taste of some of the indie goodness that’ll be on display at PAX Prime later this month? ClutchPlay Games just released a new trailer forSkullduggeryto commemorate the anniversary of the first income tax levied in the United States. The connection might seem tenuous, but when you’re flicking a skull at skeletons to collect their coins, it’s unlikely you’ll find a perfect parallel....
What an amazing critter you are There’s pain beneath the gibberish speak of characters in gameslikeChulip. The story and aesthetic might be absurd, but that in no way dulls the impact of their sorrows. If anything, the fact that they are dark spots in a bright world, only makes them stand out more. That’s the vibe I got going into Perlin Festival. It was pitched by saying it’s similar toLSD: Dream Emulator(a game I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t tried) and uses concept art created with the aid of Looking Glass AI....
A new trailer forWarriors Orochi 3has surfaced, revealing some gameplay footage for Ryu, Ayane, Joan of Arc, Achilles and that dude fromZ’ill Oll. The game will boast a staggering 120 playable characters, spanning every single major franchise that Tecmo Koei has. The sheer wealth of content is making this look like the ultimate culmination of theWarriorsseries. Of course, that’s not going to stop TK from making more afterwards, but this is already looking like the pinnacle from which one can only slide down....
From Microsoft, at least It’s hot stove season for video games — that time right before any major E3-related announcements happen where everyone’s left to speculate what major E3-related announcementswillhappen. Microsoft fueled the fire a bit last week with a reveal ofProject Scorpio’s specs. Now, it’s most likely staying mum until everyone’s gathered in Los Angeles in June. In a post onXbox Wire, Xbox head Phil Spencer spent four paragraphs broadly describing how Project Scorpio is tailored toward developers, and one sentence saying “We’re excited to unveil Project Scorpio and the amazing game experiences it powers at E3 this June....

Who needs to enter the ring? This week, we got the reveal of a newSmash-alike,Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. It looks like it’s a platform fighter, pitting beloved animated Nick characters against each other in a multiplayer brawl. Rad, right? That’s what the internet at large seemed to think too, as my social feed was soon inundated with memes and videos. Mixing fighting game with childhood nostalgia led to a flood of memes, combining fighting game jargon withjokes from the shows....
8,000 headshots A week or so ago I drove through Hell Niño in Los Angeles to get my hands onTom Clancy’s The Divisionin a 2002 Dodge Neon with bad windshield wipers. Let no one ever deny that I am committed. Alongside Ubisoft reps, other media folks and I played through two separate segments of the game on the Xbox One, each lasting about an hour. The first chunk was fairly early on in the campaign....
Think Geek is getting one I’m not sure if I want to drop $150 on a huge four foot tall Snorlax of all things (give me a smaller Munchlax version), but this bean bag chair exists if you want it. Well, it sort of exists, as Think Geek seems to think they’ll be able to sell it, but at the time of this writing they have a “pending licensor approval” notice stamped over the promotional pictures....
