By now, you’ll almost certainly have read about Grand Theft Auto V’s new first-person mode on new-gen consoles and PC. But it’s not the only new detail that has emerged in the past 24 hours. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK Rockstar didn’t invite us to play the new-gen versions, because clearly Rockstar doesn’t…

Oh hey, it’s another space survival game. This one’s called GRAV, and it seems to be a lighthearted, co-op focused take on the procedurally generated planet-exploring, equipment-crafting, base-building, dungeon-crawling genre. The game is currently trying to get on Steam Early Access via Greenlight. Trailer’s above.

Star Wars Sandtroopers Do Not Need Nipples

Samurai or not, Sandtroopers don’t have nipples. Well, didn’t. This one does, it seems. Heh. Here, you can see a photo of an Imperial Sandtrooper figure. The photo was created by Rich Alot from RebelScum.com. Notice how many things are labelled? Notice how not one of those things is nipples? Er, two of those things.…

Sony’s last firmware update for the PS4 was kinda broken. Here’s hoping the next one, v2.01 (just announced) will do the trick.

Pokémon Keyboard Won’t Catch All Your Typos

You might think this Pokemon keyboard design, which swaps out the letters with tiny pictures of Pokemon, is the least practical keyboard ever made. But hey, look at that: the name of every Pokemon used corresponds with the letters they’re replacing. So if you know your Pokemon, you’ll be just fine. It’s the work ofIngrid…

Call Of Duty’s Nigeria Has More Worries Than Bullets

Call of Duty gets a lot of stick – some of it deserved – for being “stupid”, but here’s a neat little touch I found in Advanced Warfare’s singleplayer campaign that’s worth a closer look. It’s early on, during the rescue mission in Lagos, and I originally took the snap because I was grabbing screenshots…

Tim Schafer Dreams Of An Open-World Grim Fandango Sequel

A sequel to Tim Schafer and co’s classic skeleton noir LucasArts adventure, Grim Fandango? Be still, my non-beating heart. This is only an idea that’s been kicking around in Schafer’s skull for a while, but it’s an exciting one nonetheless. And it’s inspired by Grand Theft Auto, of all things. I recently interviewed Tim Schafer…

Not Even Car Horns Can Ruin Game Of Thrones‘ Intro Music

You thought the Grand Theft Auto car horn orchestra’s take on classic horror movieHalloween was good? You know nothing. Yeah, it’s kind of a cliche to play the Game of Thrones theme on… anything at this point, but I’ll make an exception for cars and guns singing together in glorious harmony. No, it doesn’t have…

EA Gives Up On Dawngate, Their Take On League of Legends

Dawngate, EA’s attempt at snatching the MOBA crown from League of Legends and DOTA 2, is exiting this world as quietly as it entered. Today EA abruptly announced that the game is shutting down in 90 days. Developer Waystone’s Matt Bromberg made the announcement on Dawngate‘s website: “Today, I have the unenviable task of announcing…

What A ‘Yak Farm Mission’ Says About Gaming In 2014

I responded to last week’s news about a new pre-order-“exclusive” yak-related mission for Far Cry 4 with a snort. Was this a joke? Was this what gamers are supposed to get excited about these days? So many questions. It’s not a joke. And maybe it’s not even a big deal. Or maybe it’s 2014 pre-order…
