I wish I could give this more than one upvote, because it deserves all the upvotes.

Honestly, the first thing it made me think of was that episode of Dexter's Laboratory where Macho Man voiced a wrestler from space who threatened to destroy Earth unless it provided a hero that could go with him in the ring. http://www.dailymotion.com/…

I just wanted to drop by and say "WWE Universal Championship" is pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

For. Real.

To be clear, Inside's checkpoints are CRAZY generous. You have one before pretty much every major puzzle/failable situation, so punishment really isn't an issue. My problem with these kinds of cinematic puzzle platformers, or whatever you might call them, is that it only takes one or two do-overs for the thrill of

Yeah…I didn't have the heart to say it, but when he unleashed that one in my demo, I nearly busted a gut.

Based on a few things I heard through the grapevine and saw firsthand, I'd say it was possibly at the show in some super top-secret fashion. I heard Rockstar personnel, including the biggest bigwigs, were in LA, and I did happen to see someone in a Rockstar shirt carrying a PC from the 2K booth. That could mean

Oh I'm well aware that it's simpler now than it ever has been (I play most of my games on PC), but there are plenty of people out there who don't know that and won't want to deal with what hurdles do still exist in PC gaming. And besides, there's still a big difference between buying an all-in-one $300/$400 box and

Some people will continue to buy consoles because they prefer the ease of them over PCs. For anyone who'd rather jump to PC thinking, "Hey, I can just buy my Xbox games on this thing instead," well, let's just say Microsoft doesn't care as long as you're buying their games.

It's still in development, as far as I know. Takahashi and Funomena have announced a second project that's launching in September for Google's augmented reality program, so I imagine that has priority right now: http://www.funomena.com/blo…

Yeah, I think that's a bit of criticism the developer of Mafia 3 have heard and are keen to address. They mention it in their presentations quite a lot. "This is a true open world yada yada."

Due to the way my schedule worked out, there'll be a few Xbox games in the next part. And a certain Nintendo game…

First off, I loved the old God Of War also. (Although I thought 3 was pretty boring outside of a few spectacular scenes, and Ascension was just awful). And now, a couple of things about the camera in the new game:

It was a REALLY weird situation. They offered to send a preview, so obviously I didn't think it was going to be the entire game, and I agreed. As soon as it became obvious that it was the finished thing, all I could think was, "Well, I guess they're announcing a very nearby release date for this at the Xbox show. Boy,

I was very skeptical going in, but honestly, it was Cory Barlog (who left the studio after directing GOW2, my favorite in the series, and returned for this game) that gave me hope for it. I'm going to be talking a little more about this specific point in a later E3 piece, but his explanation of where the team is

Theoretically, Scorpio will have enough horsepower to make Xbox games look as good and run as smoothly as they do on very high-end computers. Also, if they're bringing VR to the Xbox, this would be a way to do it, as the current Xbox One doesn't have the power to make that work to the standards that have already been

Welp. My bad! I can't believe I accidentally lopped that out of there.

While it'll never be possible to completely avoid toxic idiots who spout that kind of rhetoric, I rarely encounter it in the game itself and people are, for the most part, shockingly pleasant and cooperative. Every once and a while you get a bad apple, but what can you do.

Having played a ton of Overwatch, I couldn't help but shake my head and think "My god, this is just the complete polar opposite" while editing this Battleborn review. Overwatch gets crazy as hell, but even at its most chaotic, I almost always feel like I know what I'm doing, what I should be doing, and what I'm

I had the same experience. I had even just finished a match when the beta went down. And suddenly, I had to live a sad life where I couldn't play Overwatch.
