Giddy up gaucho Did you blink? The follow up to one of the best games of 2010, if not the decade, showed little beyond environments in its first trailer.

I see canoes, trains, various animals, wagons, and what appears to the be the seven main characters seen in the promotional art work thus far....

With the upcoming “Undead Nightmare” add-on content forRed Dead Redemption, Rockstar Games is speaking my language. Bats? Zombies? A full moon? Done. Let me be honest and say I haven’t completedRed Dead Redemptionyet. I’m not a big “wild west” kind of guy, and other games have grabbed my attention, despite recognizing the quality of Rockstar’s open-world experience. I have to finish it before the end of October because of important awards that must be handed out, and I hope I can do so before “Undead Nightmare” drops....

To VR or not to VR: Income is the question I will never forget my first experience with virtual reality. I was at a county fair as a child, and there was a large line for a “virtual NASCAR” racing game. I took one look at the helmet, and that’s all I needed to see — I wanted in.

The Flubber game I didn’t know I wanted In between my meetings at PAX East I spent my spare time walking the floor looking for any games that might otherwise go unnoticed. After finishing up my meeting with the developers ofBlack Future ’88, I ended up checking out another game nearby. The game from South African studio Nyamakop is calledSemblance, and its art immediately reminded me ofLocoRoco, which was more than enough to pull me in....

What to do with weapons you don’t need Dead Island 2has no shortage of weaponry. That’s a good thing, since you’ll be breaking countless rakes and wrenches as you take on the hoards of zombies in Hell-A. That said, your inventory is limited, so you can’t hold onto your weapons forever. What should you do with equipment that you have no use for? You have two main choices inDead Island 2....

As a common sense sort of reminder, this post below will contain spoilers. The comments will contain spoilers. This is a spoiler-heavy post about spoilers. Spoilers. As it turns out, a lot of people I talked to during review week didn’t actually see the real ending....

You know what they say! The more the merrier! Former biggest star in the world Jim Carrey’s Twitter account is a goldmine. Basically a Canadian Jaden Smith, it’s a mixture of vague truisms, philosophical contemplation and someintense artwork. The solidJim & Andy: The Great Beyondlet us see that the characters Carey became renowned for didn’t always start or stay on the screen. I hope to God that’s the case for the upcomingSonic the Hedgehogmovie, in which Carey will be playing Eggman, because he just confirmed it will be live-action....

Many people have been gossiping aboutDeus Excreator Warren Spector and the mysterious Disney game he’s working on. The rudderless speculation has pointed toward a game currently known by the working title ofEpic Mickey, and is allegedly a steampunk adventure starring everyone’s favorite puberty-forsaken mouse.

Found a new code! Whenever I need to release pent-up anger, I launchSward Warriorson Roblox and use the never-ending waves of enemies as my outlet. While I find this game super satisfying, my progress at the beginning was very slow since all I had was a stick. I needed more powerful weapons.
