Millions of players might have been hoping—assuming, even—that all the work they’d put in leveling up and customizing characters during the Destiny beta would continue on in the final version of the game. Nope. The characters built in this summer’s pre-launch test are being wiped and all players will be starting fresh. News of this…
Character guides. They’re full of need-to-know information about famous characters whose faces might wind upon merchandise. Yesterday, we got a peek at a Nintendo guide that told us Yoshi’s real name. Today, some pages for a Sonic character guide have surfaced, letting us know that, among other things, Sega’s blue mascot hates going slow. Shocker.…

When millions of people typed commands into the internet to play old Pokémon games one at a time, it exploded a whole new way of socializing around games into being and became the weirdest, most popular interactive drama of early 2014. Now a fish is playing Pokémon. And he’s doing pretty well! Y’know, for a…

An old Nintendo character guide lets us know all sorts of things about Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends. Like the fact that Bowser invaded Princess Peach’s sovereignity because he can’t stand the thought of ‘happy fungi.’ Over the last 24 hours, writer Blake Harris—who penned the excellent Console Wars book—has been sharing tidbits from…
Were you one of the eleven people waiting for the Duke Nukem game that was supposed to come to the PlayStation Portable? Still bummed that it never came out? All hope is not lost.

“You don’t have time to think up there. If you think, you’re dead.” The spectacular flying seen in this clip—directed by GTA Wise Guy— is done by GTA Online collective The Originals Crew.

Most of the mini-movies players make inside of Grand Theft Auto V are filled with goofy jokes or amazing stunts. Not this one. This one recreates a little snippet of the American Civil War. And it’s not funny at all. The folks in GTA Online‘s BranberryMuffin crew gathered to tell the tale of three brothers…
Someone is willing to pay more than $1000 for a fancy version of Bungie’s next big video game. That’s almost 10 times what the Ghost edition of Destiny costs. For that much cash, you better be able to go to the moon, too. The Ghost edition of Destiny sold out very quickly after being announced…
Evo Moment 37 happened a decade ago. That means we’re all older and, hopefully, wiser. The Daigo Parry hasn’t aged at all, though. It’s still one of the most incredible showcases of skill ever seen in video games. When Daigo Umehara’s Ken deflected more than a dozen rapid-fire attacks from Justin Wong’s Chun Li in…
A few years ago, an Alaskan indigenous community found themselves with money to invest. Like any investment, the money would ideally multiply itself many times over. The Cook Inlet Tribal Council thought about funding funeral homes and getting into real estate. Instead, they decided to pour their money into a video game. Money’s not the…

Last week at Comic-Con International, Bioware held a panel about the next Mass Effect. This video gives a look at some of what they showed, including glimpses…
Not one bullet or explosion at all. Bold, energetic colors. It’s a little weird that a game about ‘the Global War on Terror’ looks so beautiful. There’s only this quick teaser to go by but it looks like The Sun Also Rises will be taking a very divergent perspective on the same kinds of happening-in-the-real-world-right-now…
Nowadays, it’s easy to have sexytimes on the internet. Probably a little too easy, to be honest. But, back in the olden days of the late 1990s, it was more challenging. People needed instructional video, apparently, but it’s hard to imagine this one helping anyone get connected. Watching this snippet of “How to Have Cybersex…
