OK Katana Zero, you have my attention. The game is being billed as a “a fast paced neo-noir action platformer,” and it looks equal parts slick and brutal. Among other things, the game will let you slow down time and interrupt characters during conversations. It’ll be out sometime this year. Watch the full trailer below.
Fox announced today that they plan to launch a reboot of 24 without Jack Bauer, which is sort of like Konami making Metal Gear Solid without Hideo Kojima. It’s just not going to work.
In honor of David Bowie’s passing, Square Enix is giving away Steam keys for Omikron: The Nomad Soul, which he starred in and wrote music for. The offer is “while supplies last” and runs through January 22. US players should use this link, European players should use this link. Both require the code “omikron.”
Two years after launch, Playdek’s Unsung Story remains one of the biggest Kickstarter disappointments to date, a $660,126 disaster that just keeps breaking promises. And now they’ve been MIA for three months.
You're not seeing things. There were indeed two practically identical Fighter characters in the original game, named Cord and Bord. Between them and the minor throwaway villains in Awakening, I still don't know why they made the decision to not feature more entries in the series.
Jar Jar Binks is the epicentre of so many people’s rage about the issues of the Star Wars prequels, or even Star Wars in general. But people often forget that under the CG alien was actor Ahmed Best—and he’s spent over a decade having to deal with Jar Jar’s reputation.

Lego sells some impressively large and obscenely expensive models (the $800 Super Star Destroyer
comes to mind) but the company does have its limits. Its largest AT-AT set tops out at 1,000 pieces, but this custom build pushes that to well over 6,000, which explains why it’s so gloriously detailed.
Undertalecame out of nowhere and turned RPGs upside-down with its deft mix of emotions, dogs, emotions, and more dogs. It’s become one of the biggest games on Steam.
Earlier this week I encountered a food creation so hideous that I set up my camera in the noisy press room at the 2016 Smite World Championship and recorded a Snacktaku video so I could get it over with.
The Mario block was absolutely amazing, and you guys should at least see the Mario Maker blind stage relay race.
In mid-2015, an intrepid modder called Obitus1 released one of the hardest Super Mario Bros. 3 hacks ever. Now, watch speedrunner mitchflowerpower absolutely kill it.
Strangely, the only one of these that appeals to me is the Disney Infinity one. I blame amiibo.
Star Wars toys have been in the news, as people reacted angrily to the distinct lack of merchandise based on The Force Awakens’ main hero, Rey—culminating in rage over a Rey-less Monopoly set
. Hasbro have promised to include Rey in a later set, but why wait? Here’s some Rey merch you can get your hands on right now.
I love it when people do these. If you've ever seen what pokemon cards look like normally, it's an even bigger improvement off of those boring frames they use.
Pretty nice alternates for Pokémon cards that normally had boring plain backgrounds. Artist Lunambra extended the tiny pics on the original cards with some custom paintings.
Probably not all of them, and some here are a bit questionable, but still interesting
Pixar movies are great because of their characters and their storylines but also because they pay homage to the great movies that came before it. And they’re not even’t imitating animation movies, it’s a tribute to cinema, it’s live action films that get paid the form of flattery. Many of the scenes you can recognize immediately (like when you’re watching Toy Story or Wall-E) and others are done tongue in cheek, but some you’ll have to dig a little deeper to remember.
The Apple Store has long been full of apps that make money through cloning, copyright infringement, and other scammy techniques. Sometimes, thanks to Apple’s never-ending vigilance, these scams can even make it to the top of the iTunes charts.
Found this quote thanks to this tweet. It’s from an AllThingsD interview with Oculus founder Palmer Luckey in 2013. I understand plans get altered but dang.
The PC version of Final Fantasy IX, announced last week in Japan
, will be out this month according to Steam. And, critically, it’ll let you turn off random encounters.
