His trophy is bigger than hers. That’s it. That’s the punchline of the Sacred 3 Trophy Trailer. She’s hunting, decapitates some orc or troll thing, and is hanging the head on her wall when something penetrates her roof. She sees that it’s her beefy warrior neighbor with a giant rock beast for his mantle. Fun… Read More »
TerraTech gets me nostalgic. Takes me back to those days creating crazy tanks and starships with Lego and blocks only to blow them up with tennis balls. There were towers, too, and castles. Payload Studios has a gem here. It’s one of the most original and exciting games I’ve seen being developed. The premise isn’t… Read More »
Robert Morris University will pay kids to play video games. The scholarship comes out to about $19,000 a year, which is about half its tuition and room and board. So, it’s not a cheap school but if you want to study MOBA, it’s the place to go. We already know a top school in Korea… Read More »
Kim Jong-un loves retro. He has the cold-war Mao suit, loves feudalistic dynasties and the ‘90s Chicago Bulls, has a side-scroller to his name, and recently took a photo-op with some super-retro submarines. These submarines, the vanguard of his navy, have been in museums for decades in the rest of the world. That’s loving retro. … Read More »

VIDEO GAMES: THE MOVIE is a history… Read More »
If you don’t know Suda 51, all you have to know is that he directs violent video games. Why the 51? No, he’s not a J-Pop or K-pop star. His Japanese name literally translates to 51, or something like that. Again, the important thing is that he develops violent games and some really good games.… Read More »
The elephants sold me. Yes, there are elephants in Far Cry 4. And not just any elephants. Blood-thirsty, crazy-mad elephants. The gameplay premiere, narrated by two creatives, boasts an open world (though the video focused on a mountain pass) and lots of animals including yaks, an eagle and yes, elephants. I love elephants. There’s some… Read More »
It’s dark, it’s cramped, it’s damp, and the folks just don’t look right. There’s also a zombie-dog and gutting of dead animals. Lots to love about the Bloodborne debut trailer. The trailer doesn’t demo gameplay, but it’s got a cool weapon: a curved knife thing that whips into a scythe thing – over-sized, which is… Read More »
Game Experience: High Game Value: High Quiche Says: Into the wee hours of the night! Into the Dead was meant for Fire TV. The zombie free-to-play was incredibly annoying on mobile, but I couldn’t put it down when playing on a 40-inch TV and a controller. It’s a runner — you run through a farm,… Read More »
Dying Light is a survival game and last year’s walkthrough showed a guy trying to survive in a zombie-infested world. But after watching the new gameplay trailer, I’m not sure who needs surviving, people or the zombies. The 100-sec video has one dead undead after another. Smashed, shot, blown-up, clobbered with a pipe…. Started to… Read More »
