Steam Users Uncover Images Of Possible New Steam UI

You might use Steam to play games, chat with friends, and in the future—if fate is kind—host your dream game that combines Warhammer and anime porn, but there are others who dissect it. They slice and dice in search of sweet, sweet information. Today, they found some. As part of a new beta update to…

A Working Version Of Mercy’s Staff From Overwatch

I mean “working” in that it actually spins around while you’re walking with it, not that some cosplayers have made a pioneering breakthrough in medical science. This staff, built by Engineer_Corwin, is just incredible. Taking some existing 3D print models made by Jill Cope, he’s crammed a motor and complex set of gears in there…

After 12 Years, Famed Club Penguin Iceberg Finally Tips

After nearly 12 years in operation, Disney’s kid-friendly MMO Club Penguin is closing, but not before players get a chance to realize one of the game’s longest-running memes. The iceberg has tipped.

I’ve Fallen In Love With Grim Puzzle Game Yankai’s Triangles

Yankai’s Triangles is a mobile puzzle game from the developer of Circa Infinity, and it makes me feel like I’m in hell. Right after the presidential inauguration I was looking for new puzzle games to help me handle the outside stresses in my life. My friend Sam recommended a few, among them Yankai’s Triangles. The…

Here Is A Ridiculously Well Animated Video Game Jazz Band

When video games depict a musical performance, they usually half-ass the animations. The drummer waggles his sticks around, the guitarist scrubs at the strings, the sax player sways like a drinking bird. Not Yakuza 0, man. This game takes musicians seriously. In the video above, you can watch a brief, extremely well animated sequence where…

An Arcade Shooter That’s A Hellish Glitchscape

Luminous Corridor 2 is a twin stick shooter by Loren Schmidt that calls back to great games like Robotron. With oppressive arcade music and a trippy, neon wasteland to blast baddies in, it has equal parts charm and challenge. It’s this week’s Indie Pick. There’s no understating what strong visual aesthetics can provide for a…

Jury Awards Zenimax Half A Billion Dollars In Oculus Lawsuit [Update]

The lengthy legal battle between Facebook and Zenimax just wrapped up. A Dallas, Texas jury has awarded half a billion dollars to Zenimax. The reason? Apparently, Palmer Luckey didn’t comply with a non-disclosure agreement. The lawsuit began with Zenimax accusing the virtual reality company of “illegally misappropriating” their trade secrets back in 2014, the same…

Nintendo Finally Showed The Switch The Way I Was Hoping To See It 

The debut trailer for the Nintendo Switch was packed with good-looking 20-somethings playing in fashionable apartments and rooftop parties. As a 40-something father, it didn’t feel like a product aimed my way. Nintendo’s Super Bowl ad fixes that feeling. While many people remarked on the millennial festival that is the Nintendo Switch preview trailer, it’s…

Poochy Makes Yoshi’s Woolly World For 3DS Cuter, But Less Hardcore

Today, Nintendo added saccharine platformer Yoshi’s Woolly World to its already plush 3DS lineup. In case you hadn’t heard, this time, it’s got puppies. Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World is fucked-up cute. I don’t even like dogs, but the Poochy Pups slay me. That said, they’re not just in the game to melt cat-lovers’ frosty…

New GameStop Program Leads Employees To Lie To Customers

Have you gone to GameStop over the past few months and tried to buy a new game? Have they told you that it’s not in stock? They may simply be lying to you, fueled by a new program that discourages GameStop salespeople from selling unopened copies of video games. The program, called “Circle of Life,”…

Digimon World: Next Order Is Very Complex

Last year Bandai Namco gave us Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, a Persona-flavored RPG that let players decide how much time they wanted to dedicate to breeding the perfect Digimon. Released this week, Digimon World: Next Order throws players into the deep end within the first 20 minutes. Digimon World: Next Order for the PlayStation 4…

Here’s a list of the numerous games coming out during these snowy times. This piece originally appeared 12/21/16. We’ve updated it with new release dates, including information about the Nintendo…

Here’s The PlayStation Plus Lineup For February

There’s a range of games in PlayStation Plus’ lineup for February, which drops on the 7th. I can’t not “aaww” at the LittleBigPlanet games, and though I wasn’t a huge fan of Not a Hero on PC, I might really enjoy blasting away at foul-mouthed pixel enemies from my couch. As ever, these games are only…

Smash Bros. Sells Better On 3DS Than Wii U

Yesterday’s Nintendo financial report revealed that Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U sold 3.43 million fewer copies than the same game on the 3DS. It’s a surprising discrepancy considering that Smash 4 is the franchise’s first handheld incarnation and the game has traditionally been played on a home console. The 3DS’s 50% sales buff…
