They announced it this week, it's called Playstation Now <- clicky
Cloud streaming of PS3 games to all your devices. PS2 and such coming later. The priority seems to be PS3 games first.

Well, this has been fun! See you kids in February! *vaudevillian cane drags Derrick off stage*

There is a trophy for giving a dolphin to a cactus.

The game tips its hand on that front about a half-hour in, and the main adventure took me probably ten hours. It doles out the quizzes and results fairly steadily as you go along, and the questions are so unassuming that there's very little point in trying to predict what they're analyzing about you at any given time.

They're friends! Fang Island asked Anamanaguchi to open for them in Brooklyn when they were touring for the first album and Anamanaguchi remixed Fang Island's "Sisterly" in 2012 for a single.

…and yet nowhere near as much time as I sunk into OutRun. Curse you, Sega!

Conversely, in the sub-zero cold yesterday I opted to put on some bright summery Restless People and it helped, ever so briefly. That and burning my tongue on a cup of Irish Breakfast. Nearly a full day later and I still can't taste salt.

I do enjoy Major—I feel that "Kindergarten" is the band's very best song—but it lacks the always-on jovial enthusiasm of the self-titled that fits the dreamy positivity of this particular game. If I were to go a non-self-titled route, I think the best fit would be Day of the Great Leap, but that's almost certainly

It's debuting on iOS. Mac and PC version is currently in development for a Steam release in the not-too-distant future.

Teen Mom, we barely knew ye… Wait, what's the opposite of "barely"?

I think the Squirrel Girl mission was the one where I stopped playing altogether. All my friends had stopped playing, and it's hard getting anywhere in that game without friends' support materials or shelling out some cash. I didn't even know they released Iron Dragon! Besides, now that I'm addicted to Marvel Puzzle

If anything, I think this puts a bow on the discussion of how games released this year suffered as a result of studio closures, excessive crunch, and top-tier devs moving over to untested next-gen machines instead of the boxes currently on the market and in consumers' homes. Mouse on a String is alright, but it's

The fan translation of the third game has been pretty quiet since this summer, but considering the design differences of the first two (platforming+exploring+fetch quests, sim world-building+arcade mini-games) and how much fun those both were, I'm very curious to get my hands on this new installment. It looks more

Luigi needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.

I'd give it to the GameStick, the Ouya-competitor that everybody forgot about because they were so actively trying to forget about the Ouya.

Agreed, the interactions between the two Astrids were easily the brightest moments of season four, and long overdue character-building for a regular cast member. We knew all about Broyles' ex-wife and alternate reality family long before we heard anything about Astrid's father. The second time the two Astrids meet up,

Objection! The third A:TLA game on the DS, Into The Inferno, is actually fantastic. Unlike the others it is a 3D top-down chibi adventure game, heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass developed by Halfbrick Games, the makers of Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. Fun note: while the more

Latest update said mid-January, 2014, so soon! PC alphas are up for Kickstarter backers already, if you or someone you know did that (look for your friends' names on here).

The week after Divekick was released, a friend was crashing on my couch and she absolutely thrashed me over and over again. She's a big fan of Zelda and Assassin's Creed, but I'd never seen her play a fighter before, so I knew I had to change the way I was playing the game.
