Comedian and actor Zach Braff, perhaps in a moment of confusion, took to Twitter like it was Google yesterday to ask the ethereal masses what Minecraft was. His responses were about what you’d expect.
There are plenty of games that are better after a few drinks, but I can’t think of any other that literally require you to have one in your hand while playing in order for the thing to work. Corona Beach Volleyball does. The advergame from the beer label will only launch if it detects a…
You used to be able to get Doom 3 for cheap on Steam, on account of the game being pretty damn old. But ever since the release of its updated sibling, Doom 3 BFG edition, the original is nowhere to be found. You can’t buy it. Well, you can, technically, but only as part of…
Hope you weren’t thinking of getting a Wii U from GameStop this year; their waiting list is over 250,000 strong
The Mass Effect movie has been in pre-production limbo for years now, and looks set to stay that way for a while yet, with Variety reporting that the script handed in by Thor writer Mark Protosevich has been binned, with TV writer Morgan Davis Foehl taking over. Foehl’s an interesting choice; he doesn’t have a…

Like clockwork, the coming of Halloween also signals the coming of some special Team Fortress 2 stuff, heralded today by the release of a new comic and teases for a showdown between the mercs and Merasmus. Doommates [TF2]
A video has leaked showing the opening 22 minutes of Assassin’s Creed III. Spoilers ahead, so watch at your own risk.
The rather talented lady you see here is Lena Leclaire, and if she has to pause at some points and move her head a little, that’s because this isn’t a cosplay video, it’s a music video. Seems she’s one hell of an ocarina player. Legend of Zelda Medley on STL Ocarina – Lena Leclaire [YouTube]
Seeing as my anime preferences fall within the boundaries of “giant metal death machines”, and not “girls with enormous cute faces”, I haven’t enjoyed much Japanese animation in the last decade or so. But so help me I would watch this show. Especially if it was about the girls’ attempts to rescue a couple of…
Not that Nintendo needs to really sell the Wii U right now, since the first shipment is guaranteed to sell out on name alone, but they’re selling it anyway. Part of that sell is this random piece of retailer swag that…lets you…make your own Mario moustache? Shaped like a Wii U, you put the goop…
Obviously fearing for the safety of himself and his loved ones, designer Sam Proctor has done the CDC’s work for them and come up with this idea for a zombie apocalypse survival kit. Small enough to stash somewhere handy, it contains only the bare essentials: a mask, access cards to safe zones, a flare gun…
This year’s Independent Games Festival will feature 589 games, a new record. Check ’em out here
Between 1981 and 1982, renowned photographer Ira Nowinski hiked all over the Bay Area, taking hundreds of photos of arcades. In all, he snapped around 700 images, and in awesome news for retro gaming fans many of them are now available for viewing, courtesy of their acquisition by Stanford University’s library (and Edge). Once you’re…
Still not excited for The Hobbit, which opens in December? Maybe the movie’s first TV spot will do the trick. I can’t believe it’s been nine years since we had a Tolkien/Jackson joint debut in a theatre. That’s too damn long.
Sure, he’s done amazing work behind a microphone over the last few decades, but let’s be honest. For most people, Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker. At least, he is in three motion pictures and stuff like a Christmas special he would probably rather forget For over a decade, you’ve probably seen – or at least…
“You will not find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics.” – General Dwight D. Eisenhower Ike knew a thing or two about the machinations of war. He knows a lot more about it than most video game developers, whose efforts to replicate…
We normally only show an upcoming game’s cover if one of us takes a liking to it. So, yeah, I quite like Tomb Raider’s box art! Which doesn’t surprise me, seeing as I’m a fan of the game’s art direction in general (“Uncharted in bad weather”), but with a prominent female lead there was still…
While a few pieces were shown here and there in the lead-up to the game’s release, what you’re about to see is a collection of mostly never-before-seen concept art from the production of one of the year’s surprise hits. Drawing in works from all over the place, from mood-setting paintings to gun designs to ideas…
Putting aside the fancy live-action stuff for a day, Microsoft tonight released this “gameplay” launch trailer for Halo 4. As pretty as it looks, “In-game cinematics interspersed with brief staged moments of gameplay from a third-person perspective” might have been a more accurate title. Though, admittedly, a little less snappy.
