But what happens to all the other characters when Kirito and Asuna are busy with the main story? The answer is this manga: Sword Art Online: Girls’ Operations The first volume of Girls’…
In Summer Lesson, there’s studying, singing, and head shaking. Lots of head shaking. Thelast time we saw Summer Lesson, we were in a Japanese schoolgirl’s room. There was so much leering learning.

[via はちま] So did Square Enix’s stock prices shortly after the announcement was made. The game is heading to the PlayStation 4 first, but from the sound…
I shouldn’t care about this game. Disney Infinity was terrible, and 2.0 wasn’t much better. And yet, there is hope for 3.0. Mostly because of the involvement of Ninja Theory (Enslaved) and Sumo Digital (Outrun 2006). And just partially because of the sweet figures.

It’s time. Time to look past the nuances of the video game industry, the malleability of the artform and the subjectiveness of fans. Time to pass imperious verdict on what sucked today and what didn’t suck. The term “Day Zero” is normally employed at E3 to describe the day when most of the big press…

Call of Duty: Black Ops III wasn’t at Microsoft’s press conference, where the series has debuted for years. How come? It was at Sony’s event, and Microsoft’s DLC deal appears to have swapped hands. DLC is premiering first on PlayStation 4. This is only good news for Sony, not gamers. Exclusive DLC is shitty, regardless…
The game forever known as the one they announced right before the Final Fantasy VII remake. Cute! Did you guys see the Final Fantasy VII remake trailer yet?
You want Shenmue 3? You’ll get it. If you pay for it. This isn’t a spin-off. It’s a proper sequel. After all these years, all these rumours, it’s happening. So long as it hits its target, that is. You can pledge for the game here, Sega fans. Be warned: it’s looking for a cool $2…

Last week, we told you all about The Taken King, Destiny’s next expansion, which will pit you against Oryx, father of Crota. Today we get to see it in action.

Here’s a live-chat we did just after Ubisoft’s press conference. Tune in for a Periscope session after Sony’s conference tonight.
Dreams is a game about building. Building dreams. It looks bizarre, but in a (I think?) good way. It’s from LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule. Their goal is to give people a set of tools that will enable them to build dream-like scenarios and share them with each other. Creation is based less on traditional video…
