| Star Wars meets Smash Bros. in Super Smash Wars 2 Posted: 18 Jan 2014 06:05 AM PST Just this morning I was pondering the similarities between Nintendo and Lucasfilm. A few hours later, and I discovered the existence of Super Smash Wars 2. It's like they read my mind! The video parody series, constructed more like fake gameplay footage that a standard linear narrative, takes an earnest and sincere look at what a Smash Bros./Star Wars mash-up might look like. If I were Iwata, I'd have Disney on the phone about developing this concept into a Wii U exclusive game, like, yesterday. |
| We do a lot of creepy things in video games Posted: 18 Jan 2014 06:00 AM PST Admittedly we do many things in video games that we'd never do in a million years in real life. Well most of us that is. We kill, steal, fight, commit suicide, drive too fast... the list goes on an on. And this is all in games that try to emulate the real world to some extent. Let's not even get into some of things we do that break the laws of physics. But what if we tried to do some of the more mundane things we find in video games on a regular real-world basis? Well the folks over at Buzz Feed Video have put together a quite comical video that shows us just how creepy some of those things would actually be. |
| SWTOR Galactic Starfighter open to Early Access members Posted: 18 Jan 2014 05:00 AM PST The Galactic Starfighter expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic has been available to Subscribers of the MMO since early December, and now it's time for Preferred Early Access users to get in on the action. Preferred Early Access members can now join Subscribers in 12 vs. 12 dogfighting battles and will also be getting their hands on a few in-game bonuses, including a couple of pilot suits and an in-game title -- not as numerous as the bonuses Subscribers received, but hey, free stuff.

| Custom PS3 hardware built to run PlayStation Now Posted: 18 Jan 2014 02:00 AM PST To help power it's recently announced PlayStation Now streaming service, Sony has developed new PS3 technology -- according to sources close to the project. The proprietary hardware consists of eight custom console units that are integrated into a single rack server. According to Digital Foundry -- Eurogamer's technical analysis section -- Sony first experimented by placing traditional retail units in data centers to run the service, but scrapped the plans because of the sheer amount of space needed, in addition to power efficiency issues and other undisclosed setbacks. In creating the custom hardware to run PlayStation Now, Sony engineers were able to reduce many of the above listed hindrances. Additionally, the custom hardware allows for PS3 configuration alterations that could potentially further lower end-to-end latency. For an excellent in-depth breakdown of how Sony's custom hardware can possibly provide near perfect PS3 gameplay, check out the full article below. |
| Why I'm glad The Legend of Zelda's Hyrule isn't real Posted: 18 Jan 2014 01:00 AM PST I always wanted to travel to The Legend of Zelda's Hyrule, among other amazing fantasy worlds I've virtually visited; that is until I saw these amazingly disturbing pictures by artist Nate Hallinan. Seriously look at that skulltula... WTF! And I thought Australia had it bad when it came to eight-legged critters. |

| Defend earth, dunk on aliens in NBA Rush Posted: 17 Jan 2014 05:00 PM PST If you don't have the Space Jam game, don't want to mod NBA 2K13 into Space Jam, then this new iOS game, NBA Rush, is probably the only way you're going to dunk on aliens with NBA stars. Unless you start kidnapping NBA stars and find some aliens for them to play basketball against. Which is basically Space Jam. |
