Nine Things You Probably Didn’t Know About The Lion King

A scene that took three years to finish, the sound of an F-16 jet fighter and moments we can’t unsee after watching CineFix‘s latest clip about The Lion King Disney’s classic turned 20 this year, and after all these years it still looks incredible. Watching the video means you’ll get to learn stuff like: 1.…

Super Smash Bros. Finally Comes To Wii U Next Month

Super Smash Bros. Wii U will come out November 21 in North America, Nintendo announced today. It’ll launch alongside a wave of Nintendo’s amiibo toy figures.

Below is My Most Anticipated Xbox One Game

It is lazy to describe a game by comparing it to other ones, but it’s also terribly useful sometimes, so here goes: Below incorporates some of the most captivating elements from two of my favourite game series, Zelda and Dark Souls, and I think that’s why it has me wrapped around its little finger. This…

Hacker Turns His Living Room into Mario Kart

Good thing those banana peels are virtual, huh? In Japan, a gent named Ken Kawamoto used projection mapping and Romo, a robot that’s controlled via iPhone app, to “recreate Mario Kart” in the living room. Kawamoto calls this “Romo Kart.” As noted on Hack A Day, there’s a Xtion motion sensing camera and a video…

MMO-racer The Crew will be a few weeks late, arriving on December 2 instead of November 11, Ubisoft announced in a blog post. Good news is that this means there will be another closed beta test, which Ubisoft says they’re planning to carry out in November, this time on the PS4 and the Xbox One.

“China’s Youngest Hacker” Says He’s a Good Kid

Meet Wang Zhengyang. He’s being hailed as his country’s “youngest hacker” and has started giving presentations on internet security. And he’s apparently using his powers for good. According to Want China Times, Wang is 13 years old, but CCTV, China’s largest television network, says he is 12 years old. I’m sure somewhere in China there…

The Horror Of 554 Simpsons Couch Gags All Going Off At Once

Here’s 25 years’ worth of Simpsons couch gags. All playing at the same time. You (by which I mean your ears) have been warned. The horror. The collective lurching death dirge—as though 25 years of pop culture suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced—weirdly reminds me of the noise Futurama‘s Hypnotoad makes. COINCIDENCE?…

​Watch People Panic And Die In Alien: Isolation

Alien: Isolation isn’t exactly a “fun” game to play. It’s super stressful and really difficult. It’s definitely fun to watch other people play it, however. Once this game is out, I sense there will be a lot of good times to be had watching people hide, flee, and panic as they attempt to survive. In…

If A Game Looks This Good In GIFs, It’s Doing Something Right

I am a man of simple tastes. I like games with fluid animation, and I like making animated GIFs. When I get to combine those two things, boy howdy am I a happy camper. That’s the trailer for Children of Morta, an indie dungeon-crawler from the folks at Dead Mage. Its sprites are reminiscent of…

Shadow of Mordor Player Pulls Off Massive Betrayal

Sauron’s entire high command, all going after a single warchief at once. He never stands a chance. Confused about what happens in the clip? Shadow of Mordor grants players the ability control and dominate orcs, which in turn lets a player plant orcs in Sauron’s high command. In this case, that power is used so…

A Game That Makes BioShock Look Downright Normal

The Black Glove, which is being made by ex-BioShock devs, looks like BioShock‘s zanier child, but it certainly doesn’t play anything like it. For one, no guns. For two, space minotaurs. Three, it’s about a surreal trans-dimensional 1920s theater. It sounds really, really cool. And super weird. The Black Glove takes place in a trans-dimensional…
