Ubisoft’s big fall releases aren’t missing in action on Steam’s US store anymore, like they were yesterday.
Today’s N7 Day, the semi-important holiday where BioWare celebrates its much-loved Mass Effect series with fans. A perfect day to talk about what’s next, no? Bioware will be streaming a developer roundtable focused on Mass Effect at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET on Twitch today. While they probably won’t show anything really juicy with regard…
Hey, look, an excuse to think about and watch Bully again. Every so often some high-powered shot-caller at Rockstar will say that they really want to make a Bully sequel. But it’s been all talk so far. So, fans of Jimmy Hopkins’ adventures at Bullworth Academy will have to content themselves with this new world…
Some video games put you on sea-faring vessels and make it seem like sailing’s a non-stop party. (Yeah, looking right at you, Assassin’s Creed IV.) And that’s okay, because it might just be that way sometimes. The Sailor’s Dream is a different sort of take on virtual nautical journeys. Its lonely, bittersweet tale—told in a…
The rest of the undead ninja’s finishing move is… let’s just say you just have to see it. Shown during a Twitch stream by Mortal Kombat X developer Netherrealm, Scorpion’s newest finishing move is one of the most brutal moments in an already gory, over-the-top game. The stream also included fresh looks at other characters’…
Curious as to the level of visual upgrades the new-gen versions of GTA V will be getting? Here’s a taste of the improved details, reflections, and crowds coming to Rockstar’s open-world game. Some of the changes are small—not at all on the scale of something like first-person mode— like clouds in the sky or detailing…
People say they don’t want it. But somehow, every year, the new installment of Activision’s blockbuster FPS series winds up in their homes. Dorkly‘s new strip about Call of Duty pokes fun at how complaints about annualized franchises can come from the unlikeliest people. He may be a jerk but at least the dude with…
According to a scene that made its way onto Twitch, the newest Halo character will be looking for the series’ flagship Spartan. He’s getting help from Master Chief’s enemy/ally, too.

First, one intrepid player tackled Dark Souls with a Rock Band guitar controller. Now the same guy is taking the notoriously difficult title on with a drum set from the rhythm game. AKA “It’s got a good beat and you can die to it.” Seriously, though: this fight looks a lot harder when you’re pounding…
I like Mass Effect. Other people out there like both Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Do you like either enough to craft an outfit inspired by the sci-fi or fantasy action series and wear it out to conventions? No, me either. But, let’s hear from the brave creative people who do in fact cosplay as…
Alien: Isolation gave players an incredibly tense outer space horror game that successfully invoked the essence of the movie it’s based on. But, if you stopped and thought about what happens, not every thing makes sense. Some of it is downright silly. Like a lot of horror fiction, Isolation needs to keep pushing players into…
“Wait, why are you wearing me?” Such is the power of Kirby, young one. You might expect the teenagers featured in the latest video from the Fine Brothers’ React channel to not know what they’re doing when playing Super Smash Bros. for N64. And that’s kind of true, since there’s a bunch of befuddlement on…
Many of the attempts at generating fright in The Evil Within just feel… clunky. Doubtful? Just watch a comprehensive breakdown of the survival horror game’s missteps. Be careful not to step in any blood. The same fellow who’s catalogued the wrongness in DmC and Remember Me comes back to judge Shinji Mikami’s latest creation. Many…
Some movie music will keep on giving you the chills, long after the credits rolling. The haunting piano riff from John Carpenter’s classic horror movie Halloween makes it one of those tunes. But, when it’s a bunch of video game car horns bleating it out? It’s actually kind of funny. YouTube channel 8-Bit Bastard gathered…
It surprised people when Nintendo revealed alternate costumes for Bayonetta that let her look like some of the company’s family-friendly characters. Now, you can see the design process for getting Platinum Games’ sexy witch-warrior into Princess Peach, Link and Starfox costumes. A new blog post at developer Platinum Games’ site shows the various sketches character…
Embodying a soldier has been a staple of video games for a while now. But, on November 14th, players will control the kind of ordinary citizen who the machines of war usually roll right over. Here’s what This War of Mine will look like when you play. This trailer for 11-bit’s upcoming wartime survival PC…
It looked like the new-gen-only Assassin’s Creed game would be sticking only to the time period of the French Revolution. Nope. Somehow, lead character Arno will wind up smack dab in the middle of World War II, with machine guns and everything. A new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Unity shows some kind of spacetime disturbance…
If you start hearing a little kid singing disturbing renditions of nursery songs in your Grand Theft Auto Online sessions, you better start running.

Marvel Comics is finally giving legendary comics creator Jack Kirby credit for helping create characters like the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men.

Marvel announced a ton of movies yesterday, revealing the characters who’ll be joining their silver-screen universe over the next five years. Some of the new heroes, however, aren’t as well-known as big-leaguers like Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk. If you don’t know who Captain Marvel, Black Panther and the Inhumans are, we’ve got a…
